@owlstalk Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Coronavirus has hit football hard Drinks breaks have crept in This could lead to games being played in quarters due to pressure from advertisers to go to an ad break every quarter and cash strapped football will find it difficult to push that idea away Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 They've basically become tactical timeouts. The FA / PFA are like a spoiled child. They will keep pushing for more & more, until someone says no. So I can see this becoming permanent Hot Bovril breaks in December 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Wouldn’t bother me 4 x 20 minute quarters. Have an official time keeper to stop the clock every break in play. Everyone will know what time is left to play and it immediately removes time wasting from the game. The annoyance of an extra break will bother me far less than it does when referees just make up stoppage time by plucking a figure out of the air Edited July 5, 2020 by Miffed 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrie Madden Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Was discussed on Radio Sheff over a week ago I think the Prem would eat it up because its such a crap idea but loaded with possibilities for more moolah 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I just have a gut feeling that now these drinks breaks have been introduced as a new normal that it will be too tempting to take them away now the advertisers have come knocking with their millions 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just leave the game alone, every change they make devalues it a little more. VAR what a benefit thats brought to the game. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepcar_lights Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 How convenient. Like heads in jars, funnels of advertising in every orifice of the bloated human. What would have to happen, to justify more selling, more money, more space to sell to the sleepy public. Hmmm Up the Owls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Madden Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 It would be like the powers that be Football ( never Soccer ) has been just fine largely unchanged for a century and a half and is the most popular sport on the planet so i know lets change it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
