I also get that the Premier League are desperate to be 'inclusive' at every opportunity. However, stopping the Burnley Southampton match after 40 minutes in order to allow refreshments to be taken is surely just daft. Why not wait the extra 5 minutes and let them eat in the dressing room? I can't remember what minute it was when they stopped the game at MK on Saturday. Don’t think it was so close to HT but could be wrong? The timing changes with the setting of the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamOwl Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I reckon if I’d not eaten or drunk since early in the morning, that 5 minutes would be a pretty big deal 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I observed Ramadan a few years ago as part of a charity thing done for work. I found my body got used to the regime after about five days and as long as I carbed up and ate the right things after sundown then I had enough energy for the day. Never do it as a weight loss program, though, as you actually put weight on if you do it right. As I've mentioned in a previous post. You can get special exemptions if fasting affects your job. Ramadan isn't just about fasting. Zakat plays a big part and that's charitable donating. If you skip fasting then your donation is expected to be bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCraigsOwl Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Kilmarnock scored a 90th minute winner at home to title rivals Arbroath and clinched a quickfire return to the top flight in the process. The Smokies' brave attempt to gain automatic promotion is now over and they have to settle for a place in the play offs. Probably for the best in the long run to be honest. I'm not sure whether the Premiership still has a 'minimum number of seats' rule but, if it does, Gayfield would fail instantly. Not sure who they could ground share with. Either of the Dundee sides may prove challenging for fixture compilers! Matches on a Friday or Sunday every week? The club would also (presumably) have to go full time. The whole thing could ultimately lead to their financial implosion. One other annoying thing is that now Kilmarnock players can sack off next Friday's fixture at Raith, who could still overtake Partick Thistle for the final play off spot. And we just don't want that happening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
