do you both think it should be the ball boys to make the decision to alter the tempo of the game?

Nobody even came close to suggesting that the ball boys (sorry ball persons) would make the decision.

As per Deecom's comment; at Tannadice, and at most other grounds, they're briefed in advance and at half time - most likely get messages passed during play too. Just doesn't seem to happen at Dens and we've seen them delay when they need to hurry and we've seen them hurry when they should delay.

At the Dundee Utd v Rangers game near the end of the season, the ball boys were give pre match instructions regarding the return of the ball to a Rangers player.
Also,, as Rangers chased an equaliser near the end of the game, some of the ball boys were withdrawn from the area behind the
United goal .

I was at that game, I sit in the ET at the front, McGregor was getting pissed off at the ballboy but kept his cool and just got on with it.

No. The whole process should be controlled by the manager. Pre match reminders what is expected as required, hurry up or slow down.
