I remember it being suggested, along with being able to sub half the team, for the purpose of making it easier for the poor little loves to be made to play football matches a bit more frequently.
It's what in this house we describe as a 'bag o' s***e'.

I'd like to know at what point it was decided that fatigue factors should be taken out of team sport as far as possible instead of being seen as part of the challenge. Surely the lack of breaks is supposed to be part of most sports?

I've even heard the suggestion for extra substitutions to be permitted when cup ties go into extra time. The whole point of playing another thirty minutes is to try to get a result out of tiring teams, most likely via goals, gained by forcing errors or beating exhausted defenders. Ridiculous. As suggested more eloquently above, the fatigue of the footballers is meant to be part of the game. Perhaps marathon runners should be subbed in the twenty-sixth mile, before the sprint finish? Quite mad.

guarantee this will end up being a permanent thing in TV matches for a quick ad break

Quite mad. Eddie Jones, I think, suggesting the same in rugby - 'space doesn't open up late in the game due to fatigue like it used to', 'argument to reduce the number of subs etc'. Slightly odd given England's bench strength due to the number of players in the country, but can't help but agree with him |

I was under the impression it was brought in to deal with dehydration, a real concern during summer months, especially hot ones, which we've had. Not such a risk in Autumn /Winter /Spring.

They can have 10 advertisement breaks per half for all I care these days. Grumpy Old Man |

Can't see it staying once supporters return, except maybe in the Premier League but even there I imagine the breaks would receive a hostile reception from crowds which aren't made up of day-trippers.

If Sky and BT Sports can flog a bit more advertising time... this is inevitable. Forget about the question, the answer is money.
