Ah, but is it the ball from Jingo? That just says an inflated bladder of some description; nothing about a stitched leather casing.
I would assume that this ball is okay for a kids' kickabout, but if used by serious foot-the-ball players, would usually end the match by exploding. It's also entirely possible it doesn't fly or go "gloing!" (Nutt compares the internal bladder of the football to a balloon. I've tried playing football with a balloon.) It's main advantage would seem to be that it deflates neatly to be stored in Carrot's backpack.
