Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I do have a slight problem with “three 45 minute halves”. It’s ‘Periods’ or ‘sessions’, surely…. Edited July 22, 2021 by Branston Pickle 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,314 Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Well, we often used this way of giving everyone a run out in intercounty practice matches, known over here as a "Game of tree turds, length of each turd to be agreed on the day." I remember Adam Idah having a great first and turd turd, but sat out the second in order to give teammates at least one turd each.

Graham Paddons Beard 2,351 Posted July 23, 2021 Law 7 : The duration of the match A match lasts for two equal halves of 45 minutes which may only be reduced if agreed between the referee and the two teams before the start of the match and is in accordance with competition rules. So if this is an illegal match (in contravention of Law 7) presumably the stream will be illegal too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a fair point, can the official match thread actually be started before teamsheets are announced? Personally I feel the first post in the ***official**** match thread should be a screenshot of the teamsheet, everything else is the official pre-match thread... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides I have already agreed with Laps I'm only dong this as a joke and for this years pre season friendlies, Laps get's all the real interesting divison matches and stuff. And I mean really who the hell cares? I even named this one 'slightly' to try and give you a chukle, Laps still gets the right for real offical ones 14 minutes ago, cornish sam said: Thats a fair point, can the official match thread actually be started before teamsheets are announced?

Capt. Pants 4,090 Posted July 23, 2021 Do we have enough fit players to play this length of time? Hanley and Gibson still out (I believe) so will be interesting how we deal with 5 at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In yesterdays presser Farke did say that some of our Euro boys such as Krul and Pukki (Prehaps Hanley too?) are back at the club and he would be making a late call to see if they can play today but given we have three 45 minutes and the entire point of this friendly it would seem is to get all the players we have time on the pitch I would not be too surprised to see them come on at some point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,290 Posted July 23, 2021 Pukki, Krul and possibly Gibson or Hanley back. but we’ve managed to injure Gilmour already with our pre season training. I wonder if we’ve had any news signings in the last few seasons who haven’t picked up some sort of injury adjusting to our training. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our most promosing youngster who is destined to be the next Lampard minus the personality flaws? Who many tip to be the key player to keep us up and our dreams of staying in the Prem alive? Of course he would get injured in pre season. It just makes sense 🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted July 23, 2021 10 hours ago, Branston Pickle said: I do have a slight problem with “three 45 minute halves”. It’s ‘Periods’ or ‘sessions’, surely…. Nah not for me. It's a 135 minute game rather than the usual 90 minutes, i.e. a 1.5x length game. So thinking about it from the viewpoint of the normal 90 minute structure (which nearly all games are) it definitely makes sense to say 'three halves'. I look forward to your reply on this Friday morning hot topic of debate. 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Besides I have already agreed with Laps I'm only dong this as a joke So you think its OK for Lapps and yourself to make sweetheart deals and exclude the rest of us. And are you assuming an air of authority over Lapps by missing out a crucial P in his name? I think its about time we got a stinkin rich official thread starter.

lappinitup 629 Posted July 23, 2021 Because of the duration of the game I reckon there will be several of the U-23s included. I wonder if new boy Liam Gibbs will get a run out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three halves, so it would seem they are planning on sticking the under 23's on although sadly I feel it may be too soon for Liam Will be interesting that's for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,512 Posted July 23, 2021 Huddersfield team news in., and the Norwich legend that is Toffolo returns to face us. Seriosuly though t's a pretty strong squad one or two rotaton players but looks like the kind of team they would put out on an average matchday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,512 Posted July 23, 2021 It's the return of Placheta wing back, and Aarons back on the bench.. Phew. Krul and Pukki on the team! Time to see how Pukki does with Rashica feeding him.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
