HT breaks to be lengthened?


Recommended Posts

Fifa have made a proposal to increase the length of the half-time interval in matches from 15 to 20 minutes. (The Observer)

 

Bollocks to that. Footballers are a bunch of over-rated prima-donnas!

 

We can't play twice in a week.

15 minute HT break isn't long enough.

 

Fuck right off!

 

PS I had a great sleep last night.

Thing is the 15 minutes makes it easy to know what time the second half starts as it's exactly an hour after the kickoff.

 

Yeah, would be a whole lot harder to work out that the 2nd half kicks off at 4.05 instead of 4pm huh (assuming a 3pm KO)? :fish:

Sometimes it's not always on the hour and although it isn't hard, it increases the cognitive load instead of having that instant answer in your head.

 

Just messing man. You are right though, I always work out the start of the 2nd half by when the 1st half KO'd.

Yeah, I know - and didn't really express myself well. But here's a scenario to get your brain going and show what I was saying:

 

Supposing Setanta put the game on at a 12:45 kickoff, you get in at 14:10 how long is left to play after a 20 minute half time?

 

It's not that difficult but it's more thinking than I usually need on a Sunday afternoon...
