"halves of less than 45 minutes" - i remember when the World Cup was in the US, they wanted to have 'quarters' instead of halves, so they could fit more ad breaks in
trust me, if the FA is stupid enough to allow this (and as we all know they well and truly are...) the TV people will insist on it becoming a regular change, not just for this season.
football will truly die at that point.
We all know that coronavirus can kill in 45 minutes. So why take the risk? Reduce it to 4 quarters of 15 minutes each, which is clinically safe because everyone knows you can't catch the virus in 15 minutes. Stop the clock each time the ball goes out of play, so the infection doesn't spread. For safety, leave 1-2 minutes between stoppages, which will be a bit boring for viewers but maybe something can be found to fill the gap? And change the shape of the ball and have them throw it rather than kick it because... coronavirus and ventilators. We also need to flatten the curve, so each goal should be worth 6 points.Quote:

You know how ballboys sometimes use towels if it's raining when the ball goes out of play so the player gets a better grip on the ball for a long throw?
Maybe they could do that but dip the ball in hand sanitiser every time it goes out of play or something.
Just cancel the season, games with no fans will have no atmosphere any way and will be a non event. Plus it's the sensible thing, noone cares about football right now.
Maybe players will now stop that God awful habit of blowing noses and spitting on the turf every 5 mins. Maybe they cant help themselves but it certainly a health risk if there ever was one. imagine having to fall and roll around on grass layered with Ashley Young and other twats like him`s spittum?Quote:
