Are footballers weak..

[knowsnowt]

Or just shirkers.

Is there any other job where you can't finish your shift and have to have someone else step in to finish it for you?

Uncle Susan works as a quarry man, she loves exploring the shaft and a good bit of boring the tunnel, but never gets pulled off 6hrs into a 8hr shift. She should be so lucky!

Why is it so normal for people on a thousand times the money (footballers) have this out 3/4 of the way into their shift?
It's bleeding unjustifiable.

when youve been exploring the shaft for that many hours your going to be sore & need replacement

I hear you brother. Lots of us spend all day on the computer, phone or whizzing round on the forklift, with only a quick cuppa now and then. We see it right through til we are waiting for the clock to hit 5 til we clock off.
That's mainly what keeps my physique so toned. Not like them work shy shandy boys.

Uncle Susan suffered an rsi injury on his right wrist 5hrs into a shift and the boss just said "got a left one haven't you".

Fine if you're on 40k a week as you only need to work like 20 weeks a year and can just toss it off the rest of the time.

Uncle Susan would love to spend 20 weeks Just tossing off around the factory.
Different world isn't it.

Easy life being an attacker or a non defensive midfielder now - you can reasonably expect to never have to play over 70 minutes. But as a result many are not even given the chance to develop 90 minute fitness

Imagine saying to your boss, "I'm not 100%, today, I've got a little niggle, but I should be ok in a few weeks time". Ok, they say, have the day off.

"I stayed up watching Netflix til all hours, so feel a bit tired today". Ok, have the day off, we will get a replacement driver.

"My wrist is sore after painting the fence at the weekend", OK, have the day off, we will cancel the knee replacement operation.

"My arse is sore after having a vindaloo last night, so I'm not 100%", Ok Uncle Susan, have the day off.

Tom Davies. Play 1 miss 10. What a life. FFS

As football has become more professional and the players athletically are pushed closer and closer to their limits, more niggly injuries are bound to occur.

Their lifestyles are far more rigid, with diet, sleep, social time all controlled by routine. Throw in the intense pressure of social media and despite the cash, I don’t envy them in many ways. The pressure must feel acute and all encompassing.

It can't be easy for him/her being the stress reduction operative in such a busy factory.

We do have a sicknote culture at the Lane which needs addressing, sadly as I find in my own role where my reports get 13 weeks full sick pay people see it as an extension of their annual leave and not a jot we can do about it.

In football see also rewarding failure take the England manager job fuck up and get paid off millions- what a life.

Footballers don't know they're born these days.

Players of yester year would have put in a 12 hour night shift down the pit, and then played a full 90 minutes kicking a leather ball without moaning.

There were none of these nutritional shakes and bananas to keep them going either. Just a good old fashioned half time orange and a nice cuppa, which came after 6 pre match pints in the boozer and 20 fags. They caught the bus an all.

They never got these new fangled injuries either. No such things as an ACL back in the day and if they broke their leg, then they'd be no mucking around going for scans, they'd just have the leg chopped off, simple.

Don't know they're born, back in my day and all that.

Love it when my man Knowsnowt posts late at night!

Imagine driving your forklift for 4 hours, spraining your wrist, then your boss tells you to carry on, but then you drop £10m of stock which is written off, and you lose a sale of £100m because the stock isn't there to fulfil the order.

Back in the day people like that were managed out of the business.

These days in the office world the tail very much wags the dog
