Quoted from monkeyboy


Lawmaking body the International Football Association Board (Ifab) says matches only see about 60 minutes of effective football


They've clearly not seen a Cheltenham game the past 2 seasons.

I would suggest that the real motivation for this suggestion is money (as ever).
The pay-to-view TV companies hate 45 minute plus added time periods without adverts, so if a couple (say) of adverts can be slipped into each half during time-out periods then they could probably sell them at a premium, increasing revenue and the football leagues could probably expect an increase in what they receive for broadcasting rights, so they can pay themselves even more.

That sounds spot on.

But it wouldn't be an x minute time out. Surely it'd be no more possible to squeeze a bet365 advert into the time it takes Ben Foster to retrieve the ball for a goal kick than it is now?

It won't be long that those 'video referee reviews' or whatever they're called, are sponsored. You'll see a logo appearing in the screen they show.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The out/not out decisions in cricket are so I'd expect so too.

Cheltenham are for me the biggest time wasters and cheats I have ever seen in 40 years of following Town at BP.
Just my opinion of course.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

They're Argentina/Portugal without the ball skills.
