Title: 20 minute half time Post by: michael on Sunday, February 22, 2009, 13:55:41 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/feb/22/fifa-half-time-extension
• Plans will be discussed at meeting next week • Fifa concerned over players having no time to rest I often feel rushed and slightly flustered at half time. Especially so with the queues at the Cross Bar, it can be a stressful time, so an extra 5 minutes would be most welcome. I imagine our friends in the Town End will be less receptive towards it, as there isn't really much to do in there is there apart from sing and make animal noises?

Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Ironside on Sunday, February 22, 2009, 22:43:48 I agree with the short half times. Less time queing for a shit beer that you haven't got time to drink.

Of course it's not long enough, extra time at half time would mean more adverts for the televised matches, Sky could pay out more and the rich would get richer and the rest of us stay skint!Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, February 23, 2009, 16:15:01 Do we still have those awful cheerleaders? I keep forgetting my flask and having to go buy things at half time

I keep forgetting my flask and having to go buy things at half time They didn't appear this week, at least I never spotted them, but I try to forget all about them anyway! Stick to buying things at half time JFW, it will do the club more good than watching "those awful cheerleaders"! :eatkf:Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: axs on Monday, February 23, 2009, 18:52:53 Of course it's not long enough, extra time at half time would mean more adverts for the televised matches, Sky could pay out more and the rich would get richer and the rest of us stay skint! So let the prem have 20mins and leave the rest of us be. Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 23, 2009, 19:01:47 Do we still have those awful cheerleaders? I keep forgetting my flask and having to go buy things at half time They had some girls playing football. It was very novelty.

I was being a tad sarcastic Axs!!Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: axs on Monday, February 23, 2009, 20:52:46 I was being a tad sarcastic Axs!! Yes, I know. My point remains. Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, February 23, 2009, 21:50:20 Let's just play the first half on a Saturday and the second half on a Sunday - will this make you happy Mr. Platini?
Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, 09:50:34 They had some girls playing football. It was very novelty. Oh yes!! I saw that - If I ever had a little girl Im not sure I would let her play football? I would be making her concentrate on her WAG skills! Im going on a cheerleading course next week!! maybe I could start a troupe? Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: JohnnyMoncs on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, 23:18:06 Crap idea 0 was pissed off when it moved from 10-15 mins - 20 mins of just standing in the cold will seem like a lifetime.
Also, and I'm no scientist but do play regular 90 min amateur football, I find my muscles get stiffer the longer the break at half time - is this just me? (It may well be - my night before game meal usually involves fermented drinks not recommended by sports scientists...) Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Spy on Friday, February 27, 2009, 13:22:37 Its all about increased revenue from advertising and nothing about players welfare... or those fans who are actually at the game... TV always seems to come first doesn't it? For example the first six nations match to be held on a friday night is tonight.
Title: Re: 20 minute half time Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, February 27, 2009, 13:25:05 This is all because of the World Cup and the Chumpions League.
Get back to oranges on the pitch !!! |
