Clubs need to stand together and get it sorted.

 

It has to stop.....we could line up saturday minus salah, mane and vvd....

 

In what other industry are you forced to hand over your prized assets and just have to accept them returned to you fucked and live with the consequences of that.

 

Play these pointless, worthless games at end of season and stop this interference with what matters

There is another fucking break in less than a month and the ingerlund cunts play the fucking USA in a friendly....i mean seriously what the fuck

That’s part and parcel though. Senegal’s next game is an ACN qualification game, and who knows, maybe Mane loves playing with his country mates. I’m not comfortable with the idea of the employing clubs monopolising football. Little as I care about international football, loads of fans and players seem to love it. Even our very best of players e.g., Suarez, Gerrard.

The other clubs don't seem to get affected as much as the others. Taggart had it right, either players dropping out with trivial injuries and back for next game or agreements that the players only play bit parts. We need to play hardball.

As far as i am concerned the players are the clubs assets - acquired at huge cost and paid huge wages to represent the clubs.

 

If you worked for a big company in an important and extremely highly paid job do you think your company would just allow you to go and work nights at the asda stacking shelves and then call in sick because you are too fucked to come to work after dropping a box of stella cans on your foot on one of those night shifts?

 

As far as i am concerned international football should be an amateur pursuit....all it is is teams of accidents of birth lumped together - let it's so called corinhian spirit be just that and leave the proper stuff that players are paid millions to do and clubs invest billions in building to the professional club game.

Ronald Koeman on Virgil van Dijk: "He's back to Liverpool and he's ready to play for next week. He takes a rest. The medical staff of the Dutch national team spoke to the medical staff of Liverpool and we made the decision that he was only playing the Germany game."

I dont think I could agree with you here an tha. Just seems a very capitalist way to look at football to me. Maybe not I’m reading your post right. And a lot of big companies give their employees all sorts of leave. I took a year unpaid leave a couple of years ago for example... they give employees study leave, shared parental leave, over and above their stat annual leave. Probably the most high profile case in the corporate world in recent time involved the CEO of Lloyds Bank who took some time off due to fatigue a few years back now.

Moreover, If we start playing hard ball with players it’d give other clubs an easy opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in attracting players.

The company i work for don't allow me to work for other companies - in my view (and i realise it will be a minority view) all the clubs should adopt this policy.

 

As i have said what other industry enforces that you have to release your prime assets to do the job you pay them a kings ransom for for somebody else and then just accept them being returned to you fucked and you have to deal with the consequences/lose important games etc.

 

I despise international football and yeah not everyone feels same but for me it has no place in its current format and the way it impacts on the season in the modern game.

 

 

[Jairzinho]

The reason all of these fucking pointless friendlies and this new shit competition exist is for capitalist reasons.

 

Have two international breaks a season to play all the Euro or World Cup qualifiers. Have three or four games in each break. Better for the clubs, better for International managers, and probably better for fans of International football as well.

 

Ban all friendlies that aren't within a fortnight of an international tournament starting.

How would you implement that? Say all the clubs in the UK agree to implement this ‘policy’, what’s stopping the clubs in Germany from going “Come to us, we won’t pay you as much, but we’ll treat you right!”?

[TheHowieLama]

Many of these assets appreciate in value due to their performance on the international stage.

[sir roger]

I have no interest in International football, but it has been around for nearly 150 years and is going nowhere, so realistically if we buy international-class players they are going to go away for international games.

I realise it won't happen and yeah i am venting but as i say i fucking despise international football and would love to see it fucked off.

Just go back to playing one midweek game and fuck giving up a whole fortnight just to have a kick around with lads born or naturalised in the same piece of boundaried earth. Jumpers for goalposts,goalie in and out and no blammers from close range.

I don’t know what’s more tedious.  International football or people comparing football to other industries and working conditions.

Obviously the latter. The entertainment on display last night was excellent. I don’t remember an England team playing as well as they did last night (in the first half especially) since France 98.

The most tedious thing is option C - people moaning about international football.

Admission prices season 74/75

 

 

[Mudface]

First game I went to was in 1978 and I think prices had shot up to a £1 for the paddock.

[razor]

...and STILL have enough change for a tray of chips and your bus fare home...

[Grinch]

Bet our wages haven't shot up by the same percentage.  Cost of living is becoming a joke tbh.

[moof]

Arsenal have always been flash cunts. One pound fucking ninety? Rip off 

[sir roger]

It was 20p into the Boys Pen , with a surcharge of every other penny you had in your pockets & most of your clothes being stolen also by children turned away by Fagin ( not Joe ) for having a bad attitude.
