Time outs in league matches

tea breaks? tunnels? half time oranges?

"oo! time out! i have a hair in my eye!"

If anyone was going to call a time out because of frinjury, it would be you and your hazardous emo-sweep.

The time out during our game with Sitting Ducks was necessary (serious injury).

Think about how we play throw in games; someone gets injured, we stop until they're okay and then we start again. It's essentially a time-out and we don't limit how many times we do it in a game. Why would we not apply the same instinctual consideration and logic to league games?

Yeah, but what about the mechanicals? I don't like unnecessary rules, but I like arguments during games and mob rule even less.

Priceless!

I don't personally mind time-outs in league games (read: so I'm vaguely for them). But if people feel strongly about it, I'm fine with them being banned (read: but I don't really care).

i can't recall a single occasion where a time out has effected a game...banning them is ludicrous! polo is going to a place that is of no interest to me.

I don't think timeouts are going to be banned from the league. I just disagree with anything that's not serious to interrupt the games. I really feel that timeouts should be up to the home team to allow or disallow. I think having allotted timeouts per team/ game could lead to strategic timeouts which are dull and boring.

Tournaments however should be a fairly strict no time out policy apart from serious injury. (Rob and Barnsey collision=time out, Dave's fucked hub=no time out in shoreditch, my bent chainring=no time out in Zurich)

Pick up games is and always have been a no time out agreement. Apart from serious/potential serious injury (Emilie's collarbone @ bricklane, me hitting the column last week in Peckham both = time out)

I think for tournaments time out rules need to be strict but league matches should be more relaxed. Just common sense rules. Have a time out if you need it.

Roxy i'm with you in this one, but let you know that comun sense, is the less comun of the senses

Yorgo actually scored the winning goal as I was busying myself with breaking my clavicle so no time out was needed. That said I suspect there would have been one if it wasn't the end of the game (I'd like to think so anyway).

Yeah, making rules which allot timeouts could mos def make the game a bit boring and stupid (if abused). I'm with you there. But if any one were to do that we'd boo them off the court.

that would be nearly as bad as throwing corgis.
