Memories of after playing out with your mates and rushing home in time for the results. The agony while the asterisk crawled across the screen revealing the result of your team and that you had no idea of what it was. How different to today where you are bombarded with latest updates and scores from all over the place! Great days.

@@davidembleton5480 On BBC website I see times like 45+3 and 90+7. Think they are trying to get 90 mibutes of full play now retrieving ball from the touchline, from behind the goals etc. I think they have an electronic thing they bring out at 45.00 and 90.00 with sll the periods of non play during counted and plsyed after he at the end of the 45 and 90. Booting the ball out to run down the clock was probably paid more dividends to a team trying to hsng on for 0-0 or a 1-0 win than today.
