Half time. Please explain!

Half time. Please explain!

No not the lame entertainment but whats with being able to watch Daniel and others show off their football skills at half-time.

I think the idea is that Ricki tells them what to do before sending them out, so they should keep warm in the interim?

daniels half time show was worth the entrance money. he's a legend!

I have seen one or two of them go in at half-time, they were subbed the half afterwards.

yeah I enjoy watching daniels skills. He is a legend!

Especially as while he was doing them he was talking to those other people. Multi tasking Brazilian style??

Ricki's normally got 80 minutes to talk to Daniel.

OH im guessing no-body here went to
NZ freestyle football (i hear feverish coming)
that stuff daniel did is nothing compared to NZFF

I think they were all going back in and out at different stages during the break. Besides, poor Daniel only played 3 minutes, whilst Hearfield played about 10-15..so not much point in having those guys in the shed...since after the break Ricky had a good 30 minutes to chat with both players.
that said, as a coach I'd require them to be in the shed only if I had something very important to say.
Otherwise, I'd be happy to know that my benchwarmers are indeed warm and ready to play, should the need arise.

But I see your point mate.

I think the only redeeming thing about rugby is that they get half time over with quickly, it seems like football is allowing  the time to get longer and longer.

anyone else want to see a cross bar challenge?
cross bar challenge! cross bar challenge!

+1

and another 1, I'd be very keen to take part

what is the cross bar challenge?

Player stand some point past the 18 yard box and try hit the cross bar with a shot.

Yeah im Keen(only because im good at it with 7/10) 

I'm baffled why they think we need entertaining.  Fifteen minutes to rest the voice, talk bollocks to those next to you, or catch up with those around, have a slash, fetch more beers, or have a smoke (if you are that way inclined) then back in to the stands.  Easy.

Hope tony p is reading this Salmon.

I know Adam has put on a little weight lately, but that is a bit harsh.

The half time thing is rigged anyway.

At the Victory game they pulled one guy out who was just sitting there with his arms folded while all around people were waving their C'mon Phoenix signs wildly.

Probably the mate of some guy at Welly Beds.

Not to mention the fact that talking bollocks requires the ability for someone to be able to listen to said bollocks, rather than not being able to get a word in edgewise due to the loud, obnoxious, and over amplified knob that some idiot gave a microphone.

Thats great stuff, funny as!
Especially Daniel!

Love to see the YF crowd giving that a go at half time!

Based on Friday night an ability to hit the 18-yard box will get you a start for the Phoenix next season.

Now here's how you do it!

Ah, you found the clip to Robb Watsons prematch warm-up I see!

anything has got to be better than that stupid bed making competition.

on the topic of entertainment, the phoenix seemed to draw better home crowds when the samba band played.

Yes, one the masses heard the samba band was going to be there they all rolled up

The point I'm making is that, while some and probably most of the people on this forum go to the game for the football, others, like families and people on the fringes of football attend for the entertainment factor.    For the Nix to be successful, they have to make a buck, so they need to compete for the entertainment dollar.    Watching two people try to make a bed is not entertaining, at least the samba offered something different.

There's a Youtube video of someone spilling Guinness?
