Barca vs Real- Interesting fact (1 Viewer)

Watched the first half of the game, then had this peculiar thought...."I wonder how much time is actually spent with the ball 'in play' meaning stop the clock for throw ins, corners, goal kicks etc.."

So I got my trusty stop-watch out ( I know , I've got too much time on my hands) and timed the second half, with some absolutely amazing results. I've done my best on this as the cameras did not follow the ball when it weas stooped play, so i had to rely on the noise coming from the crowd.

How long would you guess the ball was in play? You will have noticed the ref didn't add any time on at all in the 2nd half. (scroll down for the answer)




Keep going!

















22 minutes 38 seconds....WOW. I bet you were surprised, eh

But you see, when you're retired you can do anything you want, when you want, even IF you want. It's nice to have this time on your hands...you can analyse things that you're normally too busy to do. Life gets interestinger and interestinger (I know they're not real words, but to coin a phrase)

Thanks Stu. For added information I did the same yesterday with the ManU vs. Schalke 2nd half. It was better, at 28:37 but when you think the fans paid a lot of dosh for that 45 minutes worth (plus what was it, 4 mins time added on?). 21 mins went missing piddling around for various things.
