No need to even leave the pitch, half an orange on the touch line and get on with it....

[Football] Should half time be extended to 30 minutes?

The way the game is going if the teams promise to deliver 15 minutes of football, we'll still be up on the deal.

15 minutes hinders the things you list. I refer you politely to post #48

My thoughts entirely. I am surprised that the issue had not been looked at so much from this angle. It would be so much harder to keep motivating players if you have to repeat yourself over and over again for 30 minutes, plus they would inevitably stiffen up. I like a beer like most folk, but don't see the need at half time -of course if others want to, that is up to them, but they run the risk of missing the start of the second half -given the amount who do come up late, it would seem that they think it is the price worth paying for a beer.

Good grief. It used to be ten minutes although this was rarely adhered to. I'd be in favour of going back to that. 15 minutes is plenty of time to go to the toilet and for the players to receive their team talk at half time which is really it's only purpose.

Just think of all the extra adverts Sky and BT could sell. Twice as long, twice as much advert revenue. No brainer really.

Same. Can’t see it reverting though.
