45 minute games ! Should suit us perfectly as we normally only turn up for one half .
The tournament is ours
 
Just to point out that Duisburg cannot be described as being in the same region as Arnhem, they are 120kms apart, never mind the blindingly obvious fact ......
 
Well I suppose Arnhem is closer to Duisburg than Milan is, for instance....

I think Dortmund or Düsseldorf are nearer, to be fair.

I assumed it meant it would be at a neutral venue within the same region in Germany as the tournament - although I could be mistaken... it's not entirely clear what they mean

But what if we turn up for the second half only - entirely possible
Yeah but that's means we didn't turn up for the first half .
This has been happening for years under differing managers . The legendary half time team talks that either rallied a second half display , or more frequently a no show in the second half and embarrassing surrender

And if the opposition only turn up for the first half, can we claim 'Fergie time' to see if we can get a winner?.......

It can't be described as being in the same country.
 
"Teams will play two matches in the competition which will last just 45 minutes."
I read this to mean that it's the tournament that will last for 45 minutes.

Yeah, jumpers for goal posts and rush keeper.

Sounds like a complete was of fucking time, matches are 90 minutes end of.

What kind of fuckery is this?
