But what is the problem with being entertained for twenty minutes?

I set a timer as the ref blew for half time. As I type, it's now 22 minutes into an interval the Laws of the Game state must not exceed 15 minutes and the BBC is showing adverts for its own productions to cover the clean up on the pitch.

It's not football.

Edit. it was 27 minutes before they kicked off again.

There's no problem with it. But not whilst the football is on thanks!

'Entertained'

Yeah entertained. We have a household demographic from 19 to 63. We all enjoyed that. Fat Ronaldo, the Muppets, Madonna etc. good fun . Better than listening to Gary Neville droning on.

TWTD seems to be turning into grumpy old men.

Commercial spectacle > rules and player welfare.

Now football's rules are for sale to the highest bidder.

No doubt the S&C teams will have been all over it, but professionals whose bodies are used to a firm 15min break in a game have now had a double-length stoppage. The sort that, if it happened in the middle of a half, would require a warm-up before play restarts.

Professional footballers' muscles seizing up & unnecessarily risking pulling something in the 2nd half

I'm sure they're doing stretches & staying 'warm' but they shouldn't have to be thinking about it because it should be just the regulation 15 mins

Other than it being total crap, it adds an extra 10+ minutes for the players to hang around, losing more of the game’s momentum

Why does it need to entertain everyone? It's a football match. Perhaps they can arrange for for a quick 10 minute 5-a-side match in the middle of strictly as apparently people can't just not watch something these days.

If you need entertaining at the expense of the players and the resumption of the biggest game in football then it's probably better to just going to a music concert and not bother with footie.

Just so unnecessary. Imagine having to wait 25 mins before playing again. Ridiculous. Already had hydration break.

The argument I have against it is that it gave a team which had no intention of playing football an extra 12 minutes' recovery time, so they were fresher for the second half than would have been the case had they had only 15 minutes.

Well as grim as it was, it was probably no worse than the 45 minutes plus either side of it.
