Article today Lennon saying mobile phones are banned from training at Hibs. If you could have it your way what other things would you change and revert to more ''old school'' ways for the modern day footballer?

in the general world of football or can be specifically something you would like to see back at hibs?

I read an article a while back about the All Blacks and how they all pitch in to clean the changing rooms and carry out any tasks that need done. It's part of the honour of playing for the side.

Whilst it's hard to translate that to football because players will just go elsewhere I'd like to see young lads given a bit of a grounding like they were back in the day. Maybe helping to wash strips, sweep changing rooms, wash boots and so on. I don't think there's anything wrong with reminding anyone that they have a chance to live a pretty privileged life if they have the right work ethic.

Bloody schematics!!

Bring back booking players who stop free kicks being taken. Bring back the 6 second rule for keepers but mostly bring back footballers being real men. The women are far harder than the men from what I can see. Any player rolling about should be given a one month ban for bringing the game into disrepute.

[WhileTheChief..]

I long for the days when fans didn’t tak about freedom of information requests, compliance officers or bringing the game into disrepute!!

[RossScott1991]

Banning dressing room team photos unless you win something. Arsenal a club often criticised for posing for changing room photos after beating likes of Bournemouth at home.

The Dev Squad have those daily chores at HTC.👍

[wandering_hibee]

Book time wasters, players not retreating at free kicks and players questioning every decision made by the ref. Lets get the game flowing.

[Smartie]

I'd go back to the days when bad fouls were punished by fouls and red/ yellow cards, and that deliberately retaliating or striking an opponent merited a red card and that the card would be upheld if appealed.

It’s part of the all blacks No Dickhead Policy. Japan were praised for the way they left the changing rooms at the World Cup and a few days later Hibs XI played at Berwick in a pre season friendly and cleaned up after. A good and class habit to get into and keeps players feet on the ground

I'd ban this hand over the mouth nonsense you see when players talk to each other. For no other reason than it does my head in

Not really a surprise nowadays when there’s god knows how many cameras at the top level games. Do Hibs players/SPL players do it?

[Bangkok Hibby]

Put them all on normal wages

Agreed - It would be brilliant if some lipreader came ut on a monday and said - "Jose apparently called Klopp a total ****er" It would make press conferences more fun

I disagree with this, they work in an industry that generated billions of pounds and I'd much rather the players (that people pay to watch) got their share of that cash than it going to owners or shareholders.

Movie stars get paid millions, why not footballers - if they're good enough?

Yup. Majority of people wouldn’t even play football if it was for a normal wage seeing as you’d need to start from the bottom in a new career when you retired. Footballers are paid what they’re worth due to their on pitch ability, marketability etc, even if it is astronomical amounts.

[Risboro Hibby]

Ban the spread of VAR TV replays and endless pundits on TV giving their expert opinion.
Lets get back to the days when the Ref made the decision, without all the mod cons scrutiny, and only the fans then discussing with only seeing it live whether we were robbed or not

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Longer training sessions. Get them doing more weights, yoga, swimming etc

Who decides what a normal wage is? Plenty people watching Hibs that will be a earning more than the players.

Yes but what about the bollocks spouters on here? We are an intrinsic part of the game and these days most transfer rumours you read about in the paper are direct lifts from fans forums. Where would the highly trained and highly talented footballers be without the wonderful army of dedicated Bollock talkers that fill up fans forums ? Half players wages and pay fans £100 a post for all the crap they can muster I say !

(My invoice is in the post)

I subscribe to this point of view.

Which always was the case. I don't know the answer but the obscene money in the game nowadays is surely wrong. Perhaps something akin to the salary cap in the NFL?

Just tax them higher. AND ensure they pay FULL tax in the country they play in. Make sure that tax is then punted into the Grassroots game.

Eh? How does that work then?

Should teachers income tax be used solely to pay for schools? Nurses and doctors for the NHS?

Gonna be a bit of a funding gap there I think!

Top earning footballers pay way more tax than the rest of us already and help pay for the public services that you and I enjoy.

Unless they were paid via ETB's
