How long before a player falls over a cameraman?

Mods - wasn’t sure where to post this, but it’s an interesting subject.

More utter bollocks from football's paymasters.

City have just been fined £1m for delaying restarts - this is just gonna make things worse.

Imagine what SrAlex's reaction would have been?

Clubs just need to teach their players 5-6 totally banal answers, and foreigners can answer in their native tongues - including Scouse, Glaswegian and Geordie; a torrent of properly unbroadcastable Anglo-Saxon invective would be fun.

Alternatively why not ask the ref to explain/justify his first half decisions/non-decisions.

Agree on refcam. The one thing that would truly improve the game.

But, the Amercanisation of the game is worrying.

I hope there's lots of swearing.

I've been waiting for them to introduce a stoppage clock. The regular clock would stop whenever there was a stoppage and the stoppage clock would start. Then at the end of 90 minutes we actually go into 'overtime'. The Americanisation that I've been expecting.

So long as you play on until the ball is out of play after time expires, I'd be happy with that. It should be more transparent, not based on the whim of the officials. Three fucking minutes against PSG when the ball was scarcely in play after 70 minutes, FFS.

The GAA and Serie A interview managers at half time when on the way from dug-out to dressing room.

They've started doing similar in golf, walking down the fairways inbetween shots interviewing players. It's utter wank

Extra time multi ball can't be far away.

It would be interesting if the PFA and/or FIFPro advised players not to do the interviews when they had been subbed. Can't see that happening though.

After he's come on would be more fun. Interviewer running round after him trying to keep up, getting in the way, occasionally falling over the microphone wire, crowd cheers, everyone has a nice time.

Title needs a change though. I thought it was about which matches had been moved for TV.

And Ligue 1, plus France international matches.
