Time outs

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Time outs

Post by Delorean Dor's »

Should they introduce 'Time outs' into the Premier League? I know this sounds very American but I think it might help the managers make more constructive tactical changes. Please debate.

I reckon each fan should be able to call a time out every time they want another beer or a piss....discuss ?

You're right. I'd really love it if soccerball was like football where a 1 hour game lasts 3 hours.

Time outs would be wasted on our senile old fool especially in the first 70 minutes :roll: :banghead:

Cannot see how they would add to the game?

Managers would get a tactical talk, but it would take away from the drama and pace of the game.

But I am in favour of video replays for contentious matters, each manager getting three appeals per game.

Absolutely not, there's enough silly time-wasting tactics as it is.

I'm not necessarily against change, but timeouts just don't fit the sport.

Very much agree with this, but would suggest one appeal per half...

I totally agree with this....
Give each side three video replay reviews. They choose when. And when they've had their three - its all up to the officials.

In the hotter months, our league matches have a water break 20' in the half because the tv makes the teams play when is really hot and they'd boil.

It's really bad for the match's pace. wouldn't work.
