Day Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 If you stayed in your seat till the whistle went, you have 15 minutes to queue up, get served, down a pint and return to your seat ready for kick off. I know @uttoxram75 struggles working within this time frame as do many others. Is it not time FIFA recognised this as a real issue in football and extended half time to a reasonable length, I would propose a initial trial period of 30 minutes, you will still be pushed to drink up and get a shifty on but we've also got to think of the players that have commitments after the game and getting home in time for Ant & Dec.

uttoxram75 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Or just let us take our plastic glass or bottle back to our seat like other sports do. Its not really difficult is it?, just some outdated English retardedness about the lower orders enjoying themselves, there is no other reason for banning alcohol within sight of the playing area. Hot drinks are more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it's going to take is some f*****g idiot to urinate in one of the bottles and lob it at a player etc. Which would probably happen on day one. this is why we can't have nice things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts police allow the gumps to chuck piss on the away fans but you'll quickly find Derby police are not so forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Notts police allow anything, wouldn't surprise me if they stand there egging the gumps on. Gump police officer "go on, p*** on them" Gumps proceeds to p*** on the poor away fans below Gump police officer stands there chuckling like a little girl.

Gritstone Ram Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 It looked like you could take your drinks out at our recent international with Germany. They know how to enjoy themselves and I bet it wasn't watered down carlsberg or Carliin ***** either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of the majority that dont but a pint at half time i have no desire for half time to be extended. Thats not the answer. Maybe they should start doing like they do in theatres and you order it pre kickoff then someone leaves it on a table with a handwritten note that it belongs to you. That is a very reasonable solution and wont result in chaos, knocked over beer, or stolen pints ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot drinks are more dangerous. I noticed when watching the England Germany game that when the German TV showed the england fans at half time, they were drinking pints from their seats. - It does seem a very strange rule and I agree 100% that celebrating and spilling of a hot drink is much more dangerous.

Ive got to admit, when there are no other games scores to look at, there are no highlights to watch and you dont want a pint...... then you are right you dont want half time lasting any longer. There is also the more pressing issue of the players. You know.. the men who we are paying to watch! A longer half time would mean muscles getting cold etc etc. Im pretty sure the extended half time at the Superbowl is a hinderence to the players when compared to half time in every other game.

I think you'll find that @David is not really advocating a longer half time. He was probably bored. I'm going to ask him to save me a place in the queue next season as he's closer to the concourse than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Seeing as booing players doesn't work, maybe the incentive of not being covered in warm piss will do the trick. It's worked for many bands over the years, so why not? They'd have been taking to the pitch at Villa Park in rubber rings and life-jackets this season.
