Has this always been the case? I thought they'd still be at the club training etc? During the last international break it looked like players didn't come back until about 3 days before the next game. It looked like players didn't come back until 3 minutes before kick off!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Reach always jets off when internationals come round. Nothing wrong with it really, players need a break and to get away from it for a bit. But I mean don’t think a manager like Megson would stand for it after four losses and a a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an issue with them having a break. It can be great to rest up and come back refreshed, but we're now on our 3rd international break of the season after like 4 months, seems a bit much to be going away on each one, especially when we're struggling for consistency as we seem to be. And after each break we've looked really sluggish. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not another player heading into the mysterious treatment room, the room where players enter but never leave until their contracts are due to expire.

Costello 77 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 We need to get this borukov character in the first team immediately..he can play up top on his own and be made captain to give him a bit of confidence IMHO. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Bulgaria U19 6-0 Gibraltar U19 Thanks in part to Borukov's first half hat-trick, Bulgaria took a 5-0 lead into the break and then eased off the throttle a bit Not too sure how this competition works All groups consist of four teams but some games are played on neutral grounds ... which suggests teams only play one another once? If that's the case, then Bulgaria will need to beat Greece on Tuesday to progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a break from what? They train 4/5 hours a day in the morning/afternoon and most get a few months off in the summer (if they’re not involved in any tournaments, our lot certainly aren’t) What about us who work 9-5 with 25 days holiday Edited November 17, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Albania 0-4 Scotland If Carlsberg did international recalls? Steven Fletcher starts this one and caps an impressive 1st half performance by grabbing his 10th goal from the spot Taken off right after the Scots scored their fourth goal, saving him for Tuesday night's group decider?
