* The Unofficial "Official"-"Remembrance" Norwich v Boro Match-Day Thread *

Does anyone know why our pre- match warm up is now only 15 mins? Likewise at half time the subs only come out for 5 mins.

It's changed since Carrick came in. I noticed in the cup last year premier League teams subs don't warm up all through half time.

I wonder if the pre match thing is about not using too much energy. I guess the half time thing is so subs get to hear the team talk and tactic changes

What a waste of young lives, anybody who thinks war is ‘good sport’ needs their heads looking at.
 
Mine took a while to activate, but it seems to be running fine now. Not that there's been anything worth listening to. Best of luck.
