at how much actual playing time there was at yesterday's game?

Prompted by Wolfie's oft made comments that there should be an off the field timekeeper, as in other sports, instead of relying on the Ref; I took a stopwatch to yesterday's game and recorded exactly how long the ball was actually 'in-play'.

Anyone like to hazard a guess? Answers in minutes and seconds, just for fun let's see who can come closest.

Oh, and Wolfie is barred from entering as I told him how much playing time there'd been by half time. ;-)

p.s. Great game, great result and the first 3 of the 20 points I predicted we'd get from our remaining games.

The ave I think in a football league match is around 62 mins I think.
Yesterday I would have said it was above ave by quite a margin.
So I am going 70 mins. Probably way off the mark?

The one stat I remember over the years is of the Wimbledon final in the 1970's when Arthur Ashe beat Jimmy Connors in 2 hours 15 minutes. The ball was in play for 16 minutes during that time. And there were far fewer and shorter breaks (trainers, toilet, physio/doctor etc) in those days.

There were some longish passages of play but, we also slowed it down for throw ins, goal kicks etc, so I'm guessing just above average at 68 mins, 27 secs.
