    I'd rather revert to 10 minutes and have all the games finish at twenty to five.  What'll happen with Sports Report?  With time added on, most of the games won't be finished.  What about the classifieds?  James Alexander Gordon will be turning in his grave

    25 minutes of listening to inane comments in mid winter at a volume that prevents you from hearing the person next to you? 

    No thanks - with apologies to Uncle Robert attending his first game at the Valley for 40 years and the person trying to hit the bar that's not very 'kin far.

    Would this proposal increase the risk of player injury as the muscles cool down?

    God no.  What am I going to do with 25 minutes that doesn't involve drinking utterly shit beer from a plastic mug? I'd rather save my drinking for a nice pub.

    How long is the half time at a NFL game? Maybe half time shows could become a thing. Squeeze and Jim Davidson could do a set at alternate games.

    Enough time for two people to hit the crossbar twice though.

    Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? No way it will happen, you would think.

    But then who ever thought the World Cup would be awarded to a tiny state of dubious reputation, with no existing suitable stadia and no real history of playing the game. Oh yeah, with the tournament to be played in the middle of the fucking desert in winter time, thus disrupting the "normal" football season.

    If there's money involved then never rule anything out.

    Yep, "shoehorning" a comment about changing the traditions of football into a thread about changing the traditions of football. Guilty.

    OK sorry for my inappropriate flippancy.  As you were.  I seem to be getting into trouble on CL this evening...

    I believed 15 minutes was the maximum time that can be allowed for half time. 

    Teams don't actually have to hang around on a freezing pitch if they want to get on with it?

    So would the 25 minutes just be a maximum limit after which the result would not be valid unless there were a real reason for it to be delayed?

    Clubs may want it hoping to sell more refreshments. 
    TV almost certainly want it for more advertising revenue.

    5 minutes is plenty. Teams not leaving the field and maybe the orange segment to make a comeback.

    What do you mean ‘change to’ I thought that was our style of play.

    It's only another 10 mins. Chill out. 
    Indeed. Fans can always leave 10 minutes before the end to 'beat the traffic'. :wink:
