This!

It's f**king terrible.

I appreciate the tactical side to the game, but as a whole it's f**king awful. It's like a spoon-fed war sandwiched between commercials! Waiting a few minutes for a 5 second burst of action is tedious!

And Madonna, f**king hell! That whole half time show in fact, just a cringe worthy yank fest. Typically OTT. No offence to our American Gooners here, the OTT approach is obviously cultural, but if they ever dressed up the FA cup final like that over here, I'd vomit over every individual involved.... <<<<< the reserved British approach. :biggrin:

Theres a lot to be said for a pie and a piss, followed by a quick read through your programme and some sreaming of abuse at the oppo fans. Thats how half time should be! Madonna my arse!

Thats not correct at all. People like the sport but can't stand the commercials every 3 seconds and the stop/start to it. I used to watch a show late at night which had games with most stoppages taken out, it was so much better.

Having grown up watching the game... I've come to the point where even I can't stand all the stops.

I lose interest in the game because of it. I understand the need for them, but it just becomes so boring.

Now I like the Superbowl though, because the commercials are usually entertaining.

And I agree with the thoughts on Maddona though.

I really dont see why they stop after only a few seconds play. It ruins what could be a good sport. if you watch a rugby league match youll see how it could be. Some pretty hard tackles in that and they just play on. In AF instead of a long break of play, why not just a blow of the whistle, five seconds pause and blow to play on? Then you might have a real sport!
