Premier League Games 26/27 December

[paulchapo]

Meanwhile the dippers have a rest and play Weds and Mon

We didn't get long off either, played Saturday night and playing again today.

It doesn’t have to
I read somewhere that in a Premier League game the ball is in play for an average of 29 minutes each half
Just have a 30 minute play clock which only runs when the ball is actually in play, job done
Players lining up a throw then leaving it for someone else, keepers wasting time, fake injuries, none of it works any more

what about stopping clock on tv coverage as well as they show replays, player involved, manager, subs and finally the rain as you can quiet clearly hear the game progressing in background

And we have barely 48 hours to recover

if this was just a normal christmas then it would be fine ? but its not normal and games have been like this all season and having to play 2 games week city must be right up there

I know I shouldn't have done ,but turned on Talkshite after the scouse match. Now bearing in mind that last week they won 0-7, the nutter speaking about the Albion result said that the reason Liverpool didn't win, and without any irony, was the lack of crowd and atmosphere. YCNMIU.

Gone from thinking Kane would sort out cover and replacing Kun to now thinking he’d be better replacement for Fern ffs

for tactical fouling? Harry Kane backing into players is "dangerous play and worthy of a red"..... you could break arms or a neck they way he fouls players! it s a Rugby spear tackle

Was going to post yesterday after the red scousers draw,i knew fine rightly klopp would give West Brom a patronising pat on the back and all for the media,in reality he’ll be seething and stocking the red scousers training ground like a serial killer looking for someone to blame..

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

That takes the piss,even in this farce of a season.

Yep.

And of course we get a late night game on Saturday, then a break and now we've got another late night game tonight against you lot. I don't see Ancelotti complaining and he's got it worse than Klopp right now. Our squad are made of twigs.

I didn't see the Spuds game but by all accounts is was business as usual: Kane screaming in the ear of the ref and throwing himself to the ground whenever possible, and Maureen playing 10 men behind the ball after going a goal up?

Some things never change.

Kane desperately dived for a penalty with a few minutes to go, should be retrospectively looked at and banned, from quite liking him a few years ago i now have little time for him.

Second half Baggies better side. Point well deserved. That right back Severn Trent Derby can be got at.

If was a joke yesterday,every time spurs hoofed it up to kane or son they went down quicker than Giggs does licking his bro's sisters twinkle. Won countless soft free kicks. Hate the twats

Sorry mate you’ve lost me there
The clock would run whenever the ball is in play.
What we see on the screen is a TV editing issue, just like now, which is why we often have to wait a minute or so to see a near miss replay while they wait until the ball is being passed from one defender to another.
They can replay a goal before the restart, or even in a screen in screen box while play goes on.
It’s just an idea so that there would be no benefit from delaying getting the ball back into play.
