Absolute Radio
Every week on the show, starting Saturday 24 August, Mark will be asking a question about a player who deserves the Ball of Shame. Tweet us your answer including @absoluteradio and the hashtag #ballofshame for your chance to win £150!

From what I can tell (unless someone listens to this and can tell me different) you just need to tweet who has basically messed up big time over the weekends football matches.

For example:-
@absoluteradio #ballofshame Millwall's kit man surely deserves the accolade this week

or

@absoluteradio #ballofshame Joe Hart really needs to change his shampoo and conditioner

(In case you didn't know, Millwall's kit man somehow managed to forget to take the teams kit to this weekends away game at Sheffield Wednesday)

    Hi Cornish
    Do you have any more details? I couldnt find any Ts and Cs. Just seems odd that you might have to tweet who deserves the 'ball of shame' before all the football has ended

    I can't see any specific T&C just this:

    Paddy Power's Ball of Shame

    The Premier League is back and we expect it to be madder and badder than ever! We know football fans love the beautiful game but we also know it᾿s the crazy side of football that keeps us all talking long after the final whistle has blown.
    So this season, in recognition of the mad and bad antics that make the Premier League the circus that we know and love, Paddy Power!¾¿s Ball of Shame campaign will look to put a smile on the face of fans on the receiving end of some less-than-angelic behaviour. That᾿s right, if a South American striker takes a chunk out of a defender, a European winger decides to kick the ballboy as well as the ball or an owner changes manager more than he checks out the club share price, Paddy Power will come to the rescue!
    Simply put, this season Paddy Power are going to be generous to hard-done-by fans who find themselves at the receiving end of the mad and bad behaviour in football.

    this is the reply from Mark:

    Hi *********

    Not really sure what you mean - do you mean when do you tweet an answer to the question I set on the show?

    If so, that is just while the show is on each Saturday.

    Hope that helps.


    Mark

    so I think it is Saturday Only entry :beer:

    sorry i had a lie in last week :eek:

    but it looks like it was a personal choice answer anyway so unless you heard the question you'd never know what to answer

    what i did week 1 [altho i did hear it on the radio] was to search twitter with the hashtag for the answer ;)

    https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ballofshame&src=typd&f=realtime

    today 14/09 please tweet
