Water Breaks

[pnematic]

What’s the view on the water breaks ( or rehydration therapy) ?
Fair enough I suppose , depends if you’re from the Norman Hunter / Tommy Smith (RIP ) Old school or modern man latte swilling Hipster.

My biggest fear was an announcement - “ this rehydration therapy is sponsored by ......”

Great idea.

 

[pnematic]

Great idea.

There were groans of discontent from parts of the ground!

 

[Sedge_Fan]

Just understand why it's such a problem. These are professional athletes at the peak of their power, giving their all in blistering heat....why the problem to let these lads have a drink for a minute? The groans and comments were embarrassing

I really have no issue with the water breaks, couldn’t understand the crowds beef with it.

 

[Nobber]

There’s been two water breaks in my house,

Cost me a fucking fortune for over twenty five years!

 

[Lee Trundle]

People were acting like its a new thing. Im sure we did it a few times in the 16/17 season after it was introduced in that Summer's European Championships.

I understand why in tight games it might not be a great idea, but in games like today cant have any complaints

It was hardly blistering heat. I thought it to be a little odd personally.

Chris Humphrey could barely contain his laughter on the comms.

Sports players needing water in hot weather - how odd

They would normally take on fluid when Pearson is being spoken to by the referee.

Same here, I had four pints last game he played.

Good job we were 4-0 up when they put the board up for 2 mins its usually 4 or 5 mins without a water break.

When I played all-day footy as a kid on the field in the school hols we would always knock on someone's door for a drink of water every now and then. Can't understand why folk think professional athletes shouldn't need one. Imagine Ben Pearson, even angrier than usual because he needed a drink but wasn't given one? Blimey.

 

[raefil]

Anyone who was sat in the IP yesterday will understand just how hot it was for the players.

Yeah, we said that .... I don’t think they added any extra time on for the water breaks.

This. Was absolutely boiling! ?

If the water was bad he'd be booked for dysent(ery).

Apparently gonna be a red hot summer this one, because of some Spanish bloke called El Niño or summat.
