So it’s not a serious health risk then 12 minutes in. Or if it is it was for the 12 minutes of the game before that and they shouldn’t have started if playing was a serious health risk as you claim

So to clarify. You’re anti breaking up the game for Ramadan?

Tell Docky who said it was.

I said if Notting else it would be a health risk to play 90 mins of football having not had a drop of water for 12 hours or so. Or do you question that? I’m all for breaking the game for Ramadan and just added an extra component.

I’m struggling to see your point apart from being obnoxious.

Daft to announce it, there’s many a drinks break in play nowadays, just do it. (I have no issue in doing it)
Leeds isn’t the most forgiving of places anyway so it was always going to happen (not condoning it).
Virtue signalling and polarising - keep politics and religious /cultural nuances out of football for God’s (whoever yours may be) sake.

What it does do though, is play people against each other, which seems to be a bigger and bigger thing in society right now.

I haven’t commented on whether breaking up the game for Ramadan is good or bad. So why you’ve asked if I’m anti is you pushing a narrative. It doesn’t bother me btw if the game is stopped for players to have a drink.
The game kicked off at 5.30pm though. What would have happened if the game kicked off at 3.00. Would the players have broken their fast or not played? Django played for Brentford at that time so what h did he do? What did Salah do who played at 3pm?

I await your answer to the question posed in my previous post.
Imo if it’s a health risk to play without drinking for multiple hours the players should break their fast or not be allowed to play on safety grounds.

For one I asked you if you was anti it because you’ve spent the whole time arguing with me about it so it seems a reasonable conclusion.

For the second part agin which you are missing I said ‘if nothing else’ but if we want to get into the detail it would be the same as any decision it would be down to the medical staff, however if you’re getting into it; you don’t think a 2 and a half hour difference would have any impact whatsoever?

Honestly I find it baffling you can’t comprehend this.

So you’re saying having had no water for 12 and half hours is a health risk. But playing at 3 and having had no water for 10 hours is fine?
Ok but I find it strange you can’t comprehend this, or that you can’t answer my question about those who played at 3

You dont think the longer without water you the more you would suffer from dehydration. Interesting. I hope you’re not in any form of medical profession.

I’ve answered your question. Tell you what as you seem to struggle with words, fast tomorrow and tell me if you feel better or worse at 5:30 or 3. I’m done with you now.

No Im saying the fast was broken at 5.42pm because the fast for that day officially ended.
Django and Salah played in 3 o’clock games that ended less than 45 minutes before the drinks break in the Leeds game. Django played 72 minutes, Salah 90 minutes so if the City players were a serious health risk without water after 12 minutes, how the hell did the 2 players mentioned play an hour more in one case and 80 minutes more in another case without being a serious health risk?

It was agreed before the game, I read something about the football authorities have had this in place for a while. In the scheme of things breaking off for a short break hardly matters I’d have thought. I’d have thought moaning about it because it was seen as tactical/disruptive act when you didn’t appreciate why is understandable enough, booing ‘cos it’s the ******* is at best small minded though I can think of other descriptions.

Don’t understand why play should be stopped. Being athletes, their mosque will have given them dispensation to break their fast before the game. Islam is not that prescriptive. If flexibility is required in specific personal circumstances, it is given.
