players on holiday (20 Viewers)

[Happy_Martian]

Time off between seasons reduced due to our playoff endeavours and the World Cup interruption mid-season. So players won't have had the break they were contracted for. Guess the club have allowed the players some time to themselves and their families as keeping the players happy is as important as any attempts at fitness in this weather.

If we were bottom and looked like we couldn't string 2 passes together, I'd be a little concerned. MR and AV will have had this in hand so no need to be upset.

Do you fancy working every Saturday or Sunday? Tuesday or Wednesday nights? Most employees can ask for 2 weeks holiday between August and May, footballers can't.

My heart bleeds for them, dee dumms.

A lifetime as a service engineer working 24/7 doing a full days work leaving home at 6am and getting home (if you're lucky) at 7pm and then being called out anytime through night regularly in an area from the North Midlands to Devon and Cornwall including the whole of Wales was my lot.

Holidays.... I lost track of how many days/weeks/months I didn't have off due to constant resourcing issues.

No wonder I'm fit for f**k all now I've finally retired.

Professional athletes eh, yeah when it suits.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I wish you were my boss Harry, I come back from a 3 month break, and a month or so later you send me on holiday for a week! Lovely!

Preseason is often the hardest part of the season in terms of training intensity.

A few days to unwind and relax will do them no harm, it’s a long old season.

They've got time off and can afford to go somewhere nice, not seeing the issue.

Some people have had a hard life and we’ve drawn too many games, so the players should be handcuffed to a treadmill for 2 weeks.

Sounds like you hate all footballers and football, because your chosen career made you bitter and twisted?

I think you misjudged the notion that anyone cares.

 

[Boicey]

For the hard of thinking...
if you are a fit athletic professional committed footballer have a nice holiday.
If you are blowing out your arse after 60 minutes game after game, google ‘athlete’ and ‘professional’, have a look at yourself and sort the fooker out pronto.

Kasey Palmer's not on holiday

No, I love football, not all footballers though.
The written word often doesn't convey ones true sentiments and can be misconstrued
Chosen career.... Loved it, prepared to put the amount of work and reap the benefits but it was at a cost, not bitter and twisted. I ain't no victim Hobo.

 

[Bad Boy]

Yep I misjudge everything on this forum and in general.
I'm just a twat.

If you left at 6 and returned at 7 you didn’t do 24/7. Did you get Christmas Day off? Footballers don’t. New Years? Not there either. Saturdays? Lol.

To begrudge them a couple of days off after a shortened close season is ridiculous. Just because you disregarded your employment rights doesn’t mean everyone should

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The bitterness towards professional footballers is odd, they’ve had to make sacrifices from a young age knowing only a very small percentage make a career out of it

Yeah whatever shmmeee.
Christmas Day, New Years Day, Easter, Saturdays, Sundays.... yep worked, ever been a service engineer on call have you?
You have no idea just how many people in this country work crazy hours for a variety of reasons.

 

[AOM]

Don't see the issue personally. Obviously they're paid a lot, but they can only take certain weeks of the year for holiday so as long as it doesn't impact when they're playing, I'm not arsed.
Mark Robins doesn't come across as the type of manager who accepts low fitness levels in the team either

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yeah whatever shmmeee.

If it isn't spite then why do you care what hours a footballer works?

 

[Sick Boy]

Fair play to them. Let’s not forget they don’t get time off over Christmas and New Year like most people either.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

This thread is weird.

I have been a service engineer on call. I didn’t get called out for 24 hours a day and I doubt you did either. No footballer ever gets NYD or Christmas Day because there’s always football scheduled.

If you are seriously claiming you never slept or had a day off in 40 years of working well then

This thread is weird.

This thread wouldn't exist if we'd beaten Watford

We didn't though sadly, and it enrages the fans seeing photos of Palmer and Latibeaudiere on holiday in Jamaica.

£37 a ticket. No shirts. Doug doing photo shoots instead of signing a CM.

H.M.S Piss Off The Fans

 

[usskyblue]

Farkinell..

There’s a whole new generation of melts joining the old guard. All on a football forum, while they should be working, complaining about people that aren’t working.

Not sure if serious. But let me know and I’ve got a couple of gifs to post either way.

Sent from Tenerife on my third week in a row off work.

These are young lads earning half a million a year. Why are we shocked they go to Dubai and Ibiza for a long weekend instead of Weston-Super-Mare?

Oi what's wrong with Weston-Super-Mare lol

 

[San Francisco]

Just like @bad boy that's their choice. No one forced them to become a professional footballer.

At the end of the day, if I was on £15k+ a week I probably wouldn't give a toss about working on a Christmas + New Years Day for 15-20 years.

Let's not get all sympathetic towards people earning ridiculous amounts of money for what is a piss easy job that we all wish we were good enough to do.

That's the thing though, the majority of us are not good enough to do it, so no need from jealousy from anyone. I will never be a brain surgeon, I'm not jealous of the time they take off and their working hours, especially if they are private, just an example by the way, there are more jobs out there that I couldn't do

Don’t sell yourself short mate, you could definitely be Brain Surgeon…it’s not rocket science.

hows it piss easy if only a tiny percent of the population can do it?

Cheers Terry, although I think I may be a bit too old re re-training

 

[TomRad85]

Cba to catch up, what's the issue? People using their spare time to go away somewhere for a couple of nights? Who gives a fuck.
