How Long?

[jules_darby]

lets be honest, a lot of the feet stamping and wailing is because there's pictures surfaced of a rich young lad whose team are doing bad

 

does anybody think they'd otherwise have sat at home drinking ribena?

 

 

fwiw, i wish they didn't sup to excess (assuming spearing has done) but its no worse him doing it spain than it would be in formby

 

 

i feel like i need a drink most weekends and i've not been called shit for the last 6 weeks!

Oh yes you have

 

I'm still in the camp of saying that none of us will possibly know if the negative physiological effects of the travel and booze etc, or the positive psychological effects of sunshine, a break from the negativity etc will prevail until we see the next game or two

 

This is because it would be different for different teams, individuals and under different circumstances

 

Therefore let's talk about summat else and wait and see. Then when we see the performance we can say DF and co were right or wrong......after all it's not the means that we are bothered about, it's the end...which will be a result a week on Saturday...and if we win - just maybe that's because of them letting their hair down.....

 

Jules says relax

[Gumbo]

Pros have always done it.

 

The only difference is now it's highlighted through social media.

And at a time when we are as supporters pissed off with the team / club etc

 

I can bet spearing will have another picture on Instagram with his young niece at home within a week. And wheater walking his dogs in the country.

[tylswhite]

murray doesn't drink

 

farah runs twice as fast as ryan

 

usain bolt eats big macs

 

 

 

question is this - would spearing play better against sheff wed if he hadn't been to ibiza?

 

Who knows but I do know its much more likely to make him play worse than better if it has any effect at all.

[jules_darby]

if it's fine presumably marc iles is lying about there being an internal investigation at the club.

 

or maybe dougie agrees

There's another possibility

 

The club may have realised the support has backlashed and are attempting PR

[Casino]

marc iles will print what he's told

 

the club will try to appease the twittermongs

 

i'd ignore the fcukers fwiw

 

 

how do you think the investigation goes

 

 

jay, did you go to ibiza at weekend

 

yes

 

why

 

cos i had days off

 

ok, jog on

 

 

 

[Casino]

physically, it won't help

 

but mentally?

 

so much of this is mental

 

maybe he does care

 

maybe he spends every waking hour fretting

 

who knows

 

i don't

 

you don't

[Casino]

oh aye, and i know you're (relatively) sane but i don't see what a jay spearing witch hunt achieves

 

 

i'd say iles has taken a hell of a gamble with his piece

 

unless he knows hes leaving the 2 bob local rag

[Carlos]

I think we can safely say no sports psychologist recommends going getting mullered to sort your head out.

[Garrp]

i am not a doom and gloomer, infact im much more in the deluded/blind faith camp

 

but im sick to death of there being an excuse for every single thing

 

we are 3rd bottom in the championship and our wage budget would suggest we should be top half

 

i don't understand how people can't see that this is yet another small part of us being fucking dog shit.

 

we are not sunday league, we are in the championship. a top 10 league in the world.

 

yet our captain is on the smash in ibiza 3 weeks into the season.

 

it's a fucking joke

[COYW]

It's not just about what they do when they have a couple of days off, it's having a couple of days off at all, having had another abysmal start to the season. Surely Dougie should be on our training ground rather than one up in Scotland, putting in an extra couple of days preparation with the players, to try to put things right?

it has been reported he wasn't in scotland on monday

 

whether he went up on tuesday, i really don't know

 

training can carry on without the manager present

Stop drinking before work and i will repsect your opinion

Funny you should say that actually. I know he lives not too far from me and im sure there is a house recently up for sale that I thought could have been his.

 

Might explain it if it is his etc.

[Casino]

i do love international breaks

 

we dont get beat and theres nowt to talk about!

Well said mate. I'm the of the same opinion. But you are bang on when you say there is an excuse for everything.

 

I'm not sure if its at boardroom level, management or player level (I suspect a bit of all 3) but someone isn't doing their job to the maximum as we should be a top half championship team.

[COYW]

...but not without the players present.

[Casino]

so, would you have trained every day between leeds and sheff weds?

 

in fact, i dunno why i'm even interested

 

for me, they need to be worked, but not every fcuking day

 

its about peaking for matches

[Garrp]

exactly

 

and you don't 'peak' for a match by being in ibiza on the smash 12 days before.

 

that isn't opinion, that's fact.

[COYW]

for me, they need to be worked, but not every fcuking day

Sometimes it can be counterproductive to do too much but i think it was foolish to allow the players and manager to take time out when we're in the bottom three with one point. Allardyce went through a spell of allowing the players not to train at all between games but it was at the end of the season when we were on a six game winning streak.

Tomski if it wasnt sausage fest in the picture and he was surrounded by boobs would it be more acceptable?

For sure for sure:)

[DaveTheRave]

2 days off a week Sunday and Monday.......Dont see anything wrong with that

Do you think somebody who spends Sunday and Monday getting wasted in Ibiza is going to be fit for work on Tuesday?

[Rembrandt]

Training doesn't have to be only about hard work on physical/stamina improvement, though some of them could do with it.

 

Training could also be about how to pass & move, how to make space to receive a pass, how to control the ball & pass it one quickly, how to defend as a team, how to keep a defensive line, and even how to recognise a white shirt from a red or blue or yellow or orange or green or purple or yellow-polka-dot shirt.

 

Fook knows there's vast room for improvement at the moment (and for the last 2-3 seasons).

[Big E]

No worse than someone who spends Sunday and Monday in the UK getting wasted. 

[Big E]

Are people wanting footballers to be in work 7 days a week? i say work because it is a job. just like any other.
