Seriously?

Coding timers that remain true to real-time while other stuff is going on is not difficult. Seems to me that the field timing should probably have 'remains true to within 100 ms throughout the match' as one of its mission critical requirements.

Its stuff like this that makes me seriously question both the people *doing* the work, and the people *checking* the work in Manchester.
