Major Isewater Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 There are talks of a winter break in the Prem , poor lambs don't like the cold and play far too much football . Leave our winter sport alone I say , a break will serve nothing particularly as the majority will swan off abroad for money spinning ' friendlies ' .

It reall does boil my piss, they get to play football for a living but end up a bit tired, what about building site labourers as an example of the real world, they should each be made to labour on a couple of brickys on pricework for two weeks, then they might grasp what tired actually means.

And whilst we're on the subject of 'tours' - what's with every man and his dog traipsing around the world pre-season now? That cant be healthy. Players must be shagged out before they even start.

Red Necromancer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Never be a fan of a break but don't see the need to play so many games. Last year it was something like 7 in 21 days for some teams over xmas and new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited training in and around those matches with everything focused on recovery and they'll be fine. I know that not having time off around christmas can be a bit off but it comes with being a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlesbrough Robin Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does this mean less of a summer break, less teams in a division, a more crammed fixture list the rest of the season or a combination? I don't see the point of a winner break, just perhaps a less congested fixture list to avoid a buildup of fixtures if there does need to be cancellations. I can just imagine them having two/three weeks off in December / January when it's 15C and then them coming back and it freezing all of February with our unpredictable weather.

stephenkibby. Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Let's hope they bring in the winter break to the football league sooner rather that later. What with the non midweek games it should extend the season to 12 months, therefore stopping us getting bored in the summer. Only problem I can see is when to have the transfer window. Maybe during the winter break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League are already in discussion with the powers that be to extend the lender year to 56 weeks, in order to accommodate the winter break, two transfer windows, players' annual holidays and for the top clubs to have pre-season tours to all corners of the world.

Robbored Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The idea of a winter break is not about players "resting" It's all about money. As others have said theses "tired" players would be touring America/Asia raking in the dosh for their clubs. As for comparing pro footballers with normal working guys - how pointless is that? We all know that SBC and PL players earn in a week what normal working guys in in a year - far, far more in many cases. A £100k a week is a fairly normal salary in the PL......

I am the mole Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 7 minutes ago, tts_city said: Proper incoherent babble, "blind ignorance" you said it. The American Civil War was a civil war in the United States fought from 1861 to 1865. The Union faced secessionists in eleven Southern states known as the Confederate States of America. The Union won the war, which remains the bloodiest in U.S. history. Among the 34 U.S. states in January 1861, seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the U.S. and formed the Confederate States of America. War broke out in April 1861 when they attacked a U.S. fortress, Fort Sumter. The Confederacy, colloquially known as the South, grew to include eleven states; it claimed two more states and several western territories. The Confederacy was never diplomatically recognized by any foreign country. The states that remained loyal including border states where slavery was legal, were known as the Union or the North. The war ended with the surrender of all the Confederate armies and the collapse of Confederate government in spring 1865. The war had its origin in the factious issue of slavery, especially the extension of slavery into the western territories. Four years of intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers dead, a higher number than the American casualties of World War I and World War II combined, and destroyed much of the South's infrastructure. The Confederacy collapsed and slavery was abolished in the entire country. The Reconstruction Era (1863–1877) overlapped and followed the war, with its fitful process of restoring national unity, strengthening the national government, and guaranteeing civil rights to the freed slaves. No no babble in that just pure hard facts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
