I think that it is very annoying that there isn't a little clock built into a sideboard or something. How are we suppose to know how longs left without asking the bloke next to you to borrow his watch .
[cite]Posted By: Curb_It[/cite]but which saddo's actually remember to check their watches when the kick off whistle blows? We dont always start at 3pm on the dot do we?
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]I like the idea of a sideboard at the Valley
Maybe with built in radiogram and a drinks cabinet
And a biscuit barrel on top?
Oh yes and an ice bucket shaped like a pineapple
[cite]Posted By: Floyd Montana[/cite]But how on earth would that be possible?
What with FIFAs reluctance to use technology to improve the game for us poor fans.
Don't think it has to be high tech. Maybe if the ref rang a bell to remind us?
Rank Film type gong banger (one for the ladies) or turning on the radiogram with a nice bit of Harry Belafonte or the Andrews Sisters.
Only problem with using the radiogram is that they take a while to warm up so I think it's the gong unless someone can think of a smaller, transportable audible signalling device.
[cite]Posted By: Floyd Montana[/cite]Surely with flags already incorporated into the adjudication process, semaphore would be the simplest and most convenient method?
Since the shameful abolition of national service young people are no longer taught semaphore so I think that has to ruled out although we could print the signals on the cover of the programme.

[cite]Posted By: Floyd Montana[/cite]Good point. Darn.
Dont they have an idea on top of the Observatory we could copy?
That's the type of thing we need.

Just a thought, What about a whistle?
Stick to Teddy Bear care, mate, if that is the best you can come up with. A whistle! As if!

I hear that some of those new-fangled phone thingies have clocks inside them.
Egg-timer app or something.
Try to keep up.
Otherwise, use your phone or watch

You're right.
We'd need some kind of a signal.

Could the drinks cabinet perhaps be shaped like a globe, and on wheels?
It will NEVER catch on FACT
Surely there must be another way? A Rank style gong?
He could switch on the radiogram.
Now....

Our signal would get confused with the ref whistling for the start of the match. After all, they would have to happen at exactly the same moment.
Also, how would the ref blow two whistles simultaneously?
Sometimes people just don't think their ideas through.
I prefer the idea of the ref playing an accordion.
for me it has to be a massive egg timer (ideally situated in our goal mouth), turned at the start of each half by celebrity dwarfs.
sorted.
Lets go big on this one.
Surely we should fill the giant egg timer with celebrity dwarfs
A large post erected on the centre spot, with Mr Powell marking out time divisions.
Not sure this would work for evening kick-offs
