yes, that hour is about the length of time the ball is in play in games. they could experiment in one of the lower non league divisions to see how two 30 minute halfs with a time keeper worked in practise. now you could nip out for a pee by the time a free kick is given and eventually taken with the three lined up to take it with different hands in the air for the ball to go straight out of play or to the head of the first defender. just wonder if that was organised on the training pitch.
