Anyways, to call time on something is to say time is up, the game is over and let’s call it a day. In short, to call time on it is to stop and end it.
In sporting events, judges and officials will signal the end of the playing time by shouting “Time” or with a signal. In televised tennis matches at Wimbledon or elsewhere, you’ll hear the umpire sitting perched on a courtside chair calling out “Time” quite a lot. In fact, he calls it after each and every break between games. That is to tell the players that time for rest (a one-minute break) is over, now it’s time to resume play.
Alright? Alright, here are media examples of people calling time on something, be it marriage, career or any such like:
1. Jamie Carragher has announced his intention to retire from international football after failing to establish himself as an England regular.
Carragher’s decision follows England coach Steve McClaren’s decision to overlook him in favour of Ledley King for the European Championship qualifier with Estonia in May.
With King and Carragher only competing for a place because Rio Ferdinand was injured the Liverpool defender has decided it is time to call time on his international aspirations.
‘It was particularly disappointing for me when Rio was out against Estonia and I wasn’t picked,’ he admitted. ‘Like any player I thought I deserved to play but not doing so made the situation crystal clear to me.
