Am I the only one bothered by the timing clock on the big screen only showing minutes! What about the seconds? It's just not right without them....

Not bothered about seconds, but yeah, definitely needs to carry on through out injury time. Perhaps change colour like the old telly box.

Don't people wear watches anymore? I reckon there shouldn't be a clock tbh. Players will be spending time looking at it when they should be concentrating on the game ???

Remembering to look it at at kick off is the hard bit, don't do that and you end up guessing how long to go. I need a stadium clock, happy with it just showing minutes though.

I only mentioned it as I used to write match reports for a local non-league club, which involved watching the game, looking at my watch for the timings of incidents and writing in my own version of shorthand. It must be said there was a game down at Pagham on a bitterly cold January afternoon, that had five minute gaps in the report, due to me needing to put my frozen hands in my pockets to warm up! Unbelievable game that finished 5-4 :smile:
