Danish football team FC Midtjylland spent three days in the cold and dark Cairngorms National Park as part of a team building exercise. The team did not stay in luxury and were armed with "very cheap sleeping bags" in temperatures as low as -21C. On the last night, everybody slept in one big group of 32 guys to keep warm. They had to hunt for food, and at one point the group hadn't eaten for 24 hours.

Read that but it sounded stupid to me. Basic sleeping bags in minus 15 temps. Sod that, I wouldn't do it.

Leathered 1-4 v AAB in a friendly at home. Owner said it was a waste of ****ing time and money as his players struggled to acclimatise to the mild Scottish weather and with some even refusing to go haggis shooting, fans on FC Midtjylland.net were not happy either with one fan “Olaf” complaining about the cost of the rowing boat hire as a waste of club funds which could have been spent on a new midfielder. Olafs Wife Olga has threatened to burn her long johns at the next game in protest

Isn’t Raimundo ex-Portuguese Special Forces ?
He talked about pushing yourself to your limits. I’m sure there’s ways of doing that without going on a hunt - really what did they hunt - did they have guns ? Bit nuts.

I believed every bit of that until I spotted the flaw - the Haggis Shooting season doesn’t start until February - you nearly had me there- good effort but no cigar 👍

Think he might be on about the veggie haggis, it'sopen season on them all year. Even allowed to use bear traps to catch them.

Aye, but does he have any inspirational quotes involving lions?

Lunatics! It's been cold enough here that they could have just gone camping out in a local park 😁

Is LJ the manager? Sounds like one of his cunning ploys.

I feel your pain.

Maybe veggie haggi should be Cites protected species and allowed to roam the highlands freely like they did centuries before?

LJ did have SAS training I recall. Just like Partridge.
