I think they’re a fair addition while teams have such congested fixture lists and the season’s continued on in to the summer. I sincerely hope they’re binned off for the start of next season though.
They worryingly refereed to them during Sky commentary as a bit like a ‘Time-out’ earlier. Im actually a fan of the NFL (Who not only have timeouts but actual breaks in play specifically for adverts) but wouldn’t want any of their nonsense imported into the game.
Not a fan. It gives teams with a competent coaching staff 2 extra opportunities to make adjustments and beat us. As above, if they survive into next season it’ll simply become an excuse for an advert break.
This and the 5 subs are a fine addition to a congested fixture list, but they can **** right off with them next season when things start to get back to normal
The lad from Udinese must be well out of favour if he cannot get on a bench of 9. Same for Quina. I feel some are just making up the numbers.
This could be a wonderful homage to Molly Rush, coming onto the pitch tomorrow with her trolley. Having said that maybe a bit much to ask her to fulfill this role AND play centre forward?
Maybe Quina just isn't that good, despite all the promise and hype that has been put on his shoulders seemingly from nowhere. Scored a screamer at Reading in a tinpot cup game, made a couple of average appearances and that has caused the Fifa generation to start screeching about stats and sick tekkerz, bruv.
And has poor discipline generally? Going to the party says a lot .. Bit like with Gray - will we actually see him again this season.
If they continue them into next season, it should simply be a ‘nominated waterboy’ running on with water and each team should amass in their own half, more akin with Rugby. Brentford played the other day and their manager had the whiteboard out and everything. That simply isn’t what they are intended for and should be banned. I also don’t think you should be allowed to make a sub in the 3 minutes after the water break (apart from an injury of course) as it just encourages time-wasting.
