    Stopping the game clock when the ball is not in play has been floated for a long time though, with little to do with ads or american sport. Shorten the halves to 35 minutes each (or thereabouts) and just stop the clock for all stoppages in play; throw ins, free kicks, goal kicks, etc. Some enforced breaks in american sports are for ads but the example you give - running out the clock (e.g. walking off the field before getting to 0:00) - is due to a quirky combination of game clock + play clock in american football allowing a team to basically forfeit their last play to receive a break (end of half/quarter) or kill off the game so their opponents don't get the ball back. A different facet of that same quirk is the reason the last 15 seconds of NBA playoff games typically last 37 minutes.

  9. Beglin just uttering the phrase "colombian coiled spring" out of nowhere like he was channeling Harry Caray
  10. i feel like there's an alternate universe where this happens and he gets a thigh strain at 85 minutes and Howe gets slated for it.
  11. lascelles riverdancing out of the way unlucky
  12. 5 players pressing liverpool in their own half, at anfield nah, not having it like. bring back the days of Bruce rolling over for them.

    João Pedro

    Watford social media intern just tempting fate or what?
  16. the one pairing they wouldn't have prepared for! Eddie Howe masterclass in subversion.
  17. Journos all over can't help themselves but British ones in particular seem to revel in being antagonistic twats imo. Think it got to him after a few years.
  18. would love it if other journos were quietly sitting on news until luke posts just to contradict him. Professional bullying at its finest.
  19. Can i just shock you? I've always liked Klopp.
  20. apologies if already posted but appreciating the trolling by Aulas here
  21. She'd be very aware of social norms given the work she's done with people from the region. Just a bit of awkwardness.
  22. if we're done it's still been a good window. if we get more that's just gravy at this point [engages troll mode] unfortunately for the bed wetters we're not going to recycle the entire squad in 2 windows.
  23. Barca expecting 5 departures and 3 arrivals in these last hours of the window ... maybe? maaaaaaaybe?????
