30 minutes each way

Just don't understand this new proposal. thoughts blues.

It works in Ice Hockey and Basketball. It would also stop timewasting to a degree, and all that nonsense about added time.

Leave football alone. It's survived for as long as it has without a 30 minute half's and doesn't need them now. This is what happens when middle-class morons start getting involved in the game, they convince themselves that the game needs to "improve" and appeal to a "wider demographic" despite the fact that football is the most popular sport in the world.

I could understand referees stopping the watch for stoppages, much like they do in rugby, but the notion of a 30 minute half seems a bit silly as not all teams seek to time waste and there must be huge variability in terms of ball in play time.

Have a feeling that the sponsors are involved, more time for commercials perhaps.

Apparently not. I think it varies by about 5 minutes.

Dear busybodies
Stop mucking with the game.
If you want to sit down and come up with rules, invent a new game. If your rules are so good, it's bound to be better than togger. Go on.... Try it.... Let's see.

The problem with sport as a business.

Too much focus on creating the best 'product'.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Absolutel not.

In 20 years time we'll all be saying 'it's a game of three thirds' as legendary commentator Danny Murphy once said.
