We have already got one... well the ground has, for RU games, next to score board on the scaffold. Has she not retired now anyway... I understand her replacement is rather tasty and younger, we could get her?

Yes and assume the clock already there for RU is geared up as such. And, yes the timekeepers, not sky control the clock at Sky games as I understand it.

There is actually someone from SKY sat with the timekeepers.

I know SKY are responsible for the clock that appears on TV broadcasts but is this different to the one that appears on the big screen?

The clock on the big screen technically isn't the official time. It's controlled by the SKY Man and not the timekeepers.

I’m with Emma on the point of it’ll add excitement to close games but I like my rugby league games to be timeless. Whilst this clock is good for start of, end of first half and end of match etc it could be disappointing if we have a clock telling us we’ve got half an hour to go.

Its about getting it right. No harm but still..

Bluey has signalled some late squad number changes and handed Carol the No.9 shirt

What?

Sorry I’ve spent a morning of not making sense. Am I still doing it?

Whos going to be in Dictionary Corner ?

Father Jack. A**e F**k Drink!

Arghh, I get this now... I think! The Sky guy sits with the timekeepers and stops the clock on the large screen as best he can at the same time as the official timekeepers clock. So it is possible that they could be a second or so out, but no more than that I assume?

So the 'live' clock they use for the RU must be actually controlled by the timekeepers and one assumes that this will now be the case for Super League games and as such already in place at HQ?

Want me to finish you off?

Thanks Emma.

Fnarr, fnarr, oof !!

OMFG. CNT BELIEF IT. ITS FINALI APPEND.

I suppose I could riff a list of things that I care as little about as the new countdown clock at Headers...

Let me see: Low-carb diets. Michael Moore. The Republican National Convention. Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products. Hi-def TV, the Bush daughters, wireless hot spots, ‘The O.C.’, the U.N., recycling, getting Punk’d, Danny Gans, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys. Jeff, that Wiggle who sleeps too darn much! The Yankees payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show host, everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, everything everything everything everything everything everything–eve–everything that exists — past, present and future, in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions. Oh! And Hugh Jackman.”

Scrubs = 3/10.

The last two seasons fo show. Early days were good though.

That's crazy talk. Put down the kool aid.

Any more dissin scrubs and the big dog will pop a cap in yo a55.

Just cos your gurrrrrrlfriend is in itttt. errrrrrrggggh. Girls are sicky.

Girls are sticky.

I believe the RU version incorporates an alarm which is used to wake the fans up at the end of the game.

Just to clarify:-

Carol Vorderman, Father Jack and Elliot from Scrubs are sat with the Skyman and use Europe’s ‘Final Countdown’ at the end of each game to make it more exciting?

I’m in.
