So after last night, are we for or against it?
After the 2005 GF I was a fan of it, thought it was great.
Last night, I hated it.

Get your stop watch out. I didn't but it came on at 9.39. Can tell you that. Finished at 9.47 and there was two goals kicked and a handful of stoppages. Blew about 30 seconds before I was expecting it just from mental assessment.

I was in a condition to be able to keep track of time :p last night
I time it last night. Went for about 8 minutes and 55 seconds.

5 minute warning went from about 22 minutes, to over 30 minutes, with a few goals and lots of stoppages.
I hated it last night, every second felt like 2 seconds... and watching the game almost slip from our grasp isn't something i enjoy watching.
Normally I hate it but for some reason thought it was great last night. Sort of recreates the experience you would have had if you were at the ground.

I couldn't watch from the 29 minute mark onwards. I physically looked away from the screen with my eyes shut.

imagine being at the ground....
I almost vomitted when buchanan kicked the 'goal' (poster) at the end and was surrounded by gloating swans numpties all mouthing off before they realised he missed.
was a truly beautiful moment when the siren did actually go - suck it up swines.
:thumbsu:
Sure it was agonising last night, but it really adds to the game imo, Bombers or no Bombers

I was only just recovering from the multiple heart attacks I suffered last weekend too.

extreme love/hate relationship last night.
The tension was pretty incredible. It's no fun, and you desparately want to know, but it's kind of cool that you don't. At least, it is when you win :cool:

That was a long five minutes. :(
it killed me - but i think me and my mates acted as gay as we did the previous week when the siren went.
We all want to know how long to go when its going - arent we asking the same question at the game? But when the siren goes its a far greater feeling in a close game

This is true, although I guess you feel more in control when you're there.
At any rate...you can usually find out how long is left by turning on the radio.
