So I will say good look to both team's, but of course being from the Island that love's the underdog I go for the cards. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND.

But then, we Washingtonians may still be bitter over Super Bowl XL. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Did I ever tell anyone here that I like The Boss's music? By the way, does anyone have a YouTube link for it? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Feb. 03 2009, 17:56 I'm a vague fan - I watch the super bowl but nothing else. Why does it take 4 hours to play a 1 hour game? How can there be "obnly 35 seconds to play" but there's 15 minutes before the game actually ends? Having said (or whinged about) that - it was a great game. No other game would have one team about to score, definitely about to score, then a few seconds later the other team had taken the ball and scored themselves. Brucie-babes was on top form too. He promised "the last 12 minutes of the best show eva" and very nearly came close to delivering. Pity he can't do the guitar solo from Ommadawn, but he's still pretty good. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

About the timings, maybe they use what they don't use with football (i.e. soccer) down here, i.e. actual playing time. They have one hour in which they can actually play, but as the timer is stopped every single time that the actual playing stops and that the ball is not in play - because of playfield accidents, mishaps, foulplays etc.- the real duration of the full match may be stretched up a great deal, maybe even up to 4 hours. Same for the last fifteen seconds - I guess they are (or were) the actual time left to play. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
