yet more Americanised nonsense. Bad enough that teams like palace have cheerleaders, megaphones and goal music. 

They'll have picture in picture in-game adverts next. 

Only upside will be the players hopefully using some colourful language and throwing their teammates and manager under the bus when they feel they shouldn't of been subbed.

Ridiculous. How long before a player has an earpiece in and they chat with the commentary team during breaks of play, like they do (did?) in the televised domestic T20 cricket matches.

I've just seen this, half time interviews. No thank you to it all, let them play and interview after why change it?!

And next up, added time multiball!

This the way sport in general is going, rather than just an American thing. If you want the TV riches, then you have to provide them more than just the plain action on the pitch.

Personally I can't imagine substituted players saying anything of interest, unless they f bomb or slag off the manager.

I just hope they can educate the likes of myself on how we should operate as individuals.
I need guidance from a half baked extremely rich idiot

Can't wait for more wonderful player insight just like this...

Dear god what has any player that’s been subbed going to have to say that’s of any interest to anyone?

Or any modern day player, for that matter, whether they've been subbed or not.

All you get is ultra-bland nothingness, soundbites and cliches.

I remember watching an old episode of The Big Match a few months ago and there was a post-match interview with Man Utd keeper Gary Bailey and he was talking, at great depth, through a howler or two he'd made when conceding from corners. Totally different from the PR-schooled players of today.

My favourite is in the NFL when they try to interview coaches at half-time and Mike McDaniel, Dolphins coach, just runs away from them down the tunnel.
