Think of it this way - the ball goes out of play, and the player taking the throw takes 10 seconds to receive a towel and dry the ball. This happens 12 times in the game, so that's two minutes wasted, as I'm sure refs don't add any time on. That means if you pay £20 to watch the game, 44p goes on watching someone dry the ball with a towel!

Please post on here when we beat you with an Aaron Hayden header from a long towel-dried Ben Tozer throw securing us the title

A team should only be allowed 1 nutmeg per game anymore is bad sportsmanship.

So let's dry the ball for every goal kick, corner, free kick and penalty so the kicker can ensure a cleaner contact.

If the pitch is wet, the ball is wet. Football has always been like that.

I'd say four per game is a fairer number.

Goalkeepers have used towels to dry their gloves for ages - should that also be banned?

Ban towels and get Tozer wear GK gloves in games - simples

Definitely. I would allow towels in the changing rooms after the post-match shower, but that's it.

When did towels on the pitch become part of a football match?

Next season's shirts will be made out of towel.

That guy is proper towelist.
