Players nowadays are too mollycoddled and happy to sit around on their collective arses feigning injury, as another 30,000 pounds plops into each of their bank accounts.. easy money. There's no heart or desire there anymore. It's years since I last saw a Mick Lyons-type attitude in a player who would play through the pain barrier and make those around him do likewise... then do it all again the next match.. Well said, agree with you totally on this, the players sneeze today and they're reaching for the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Being a footballer must be one of the greatest and enjoyable jobs on the planet. Being an injured footballer must be one of the most frustrating. Living your dream, being deemed good enough. But always being injured. Don't know about faking unfitness. I suspect id be telling porkies to try and get back in the team ahead of schedule such would be my desperation to play again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you but for every grafter, there's a shirker. Happy to sit on his 'arris & collect a wage. Makes my blood boil, but it's a fact of life / society, sadly.

But I just find it incredible that with such a dream job, and such a short career, anyone would waste any chance they had to play. It's not as if they are up scoffolds working on roof tops in the freezing weeing rain 8 hours a day. Ahh...for the days when the wage slip was 75% appearance and bonus fees. Folks weren't out long injured then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering approx. one in a thousand who play, make the grade at pro level, you'd think they'd be banging the door down to get on the training ground.

mike312 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Interesting too that the powers that be have made tackling almost illegal to "stop players getting injuries" and yet they seem to get more these days. Pitches like billiard tables too. More musle strains I suppose these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are often reminded it is just a job. If I could get paid for not doing an essential part of my job I would love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The vast majority of players want to play - they generally don't feign injury and illness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Was told by a very good friend of Tony Toms many years ago that a certain striker didn't feign injuries but whinged about the slightest knocks and pulls all the time. Didn't get much sympathy though Edited January 1, 2018 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
