Anybody know why Scottish football matches always finish before English matches?

Every time it seems E.Stirling comes in first on the vidiprinter, but why?

Is it because they only have 10 mins for half time?

It's because the ref is so pissed off watching that dross that he blows his whistle 5 mins early:yawn:

Or all 539 in the crowd leave at 4.39 to catch the last 24b bus to Grenock :lolol:

Traditionally there was a only 10 minute break at half time as opposed to 15 down south. However all SPL games have 15 minute half-time breaks these days. I think in the SFL it's probably still 10 minutes.

Thats what I thought, but after watching BBC final score on Saturday, quite a few English league games came in before a lot of Scottish div 3 ones ???
