I fondly recall the days when you’d turn up at London Road and first see the players at 2.55pm when they’d run out (never at the same time as the opposition), one of them would toss a coin and then we’d be off and running. 
These 30-minute warm-ups, usually accompanied by dramatic music (or Adele) and an over-excited loudmouth on a mic, are utterly pointless. Especially when four officials join in the exercise routines thus promoting their own erroneous opinion that they are as important to spectators as the players.
Brilliant ;D

The BBC covered the weekend handshake non-event as though they were reporting matters of grave economic or world peace importance.
On Radio Five the insufferably loud and opinioted presenter Mark Pougatch preceded virtually every interview with words like ‘I know there are more important things to talk about’ but then whittled on about handshakes and that irritating TV presenter Colin Murray was exactly the same on Match of the Day Two.
