I follow @JG_Chilling on twitter and earlier he posted "Tough day. Hope the hard work starts to pay off" and later on in the day he posted "Would love these massage chairs to work right now !".
Wonder if they are getting worked hard?

just had a look at his twitter history and he posted this....
'Time to step up, big things ahead' on the 22nd Oct, wether thats in connection with his parent club or Hibs who knows, but at least he realises that whats been happening isn't good enough if he is talking about Hibs.
Good to see that CC is working them hard

CC has a reputation for being tough on player fitness.Certainly hope its true as it can only benefit results.

They should be in 8-5 daily IMO for the massive wages they pick up. CV in the mornings, ball skills/strength/going through videos in afternoons.
Would love to see the team as fit as they were under Collins.

I think the team we have now are fit, but they look like they're not because we lack genuine pace.

What do people on this board actually expect a footballers training schedule for the week to look like?

As for "days off", I guess 1 of these (or a half day) will be necessary for to rest muscles at some point during the week, but the reports of players skipping home by <insert ludicrously early hour here> under <insert recent Hibs manager here> really get on my wick, for the wages a lot of them earn as well.
And finally, anyone bunking off/walking out of training should be fined, and should apologise to team-mates and fans alike.
How hard can it be???

Don't you know, football supporters are undisputed experts on every aspect of other people's jobs. Whether its coaching, coach drivers, or first aiders at the ground, these guys know their stuff.
The best way to avoid making this mistake in future is to apply the following test:
1) Is the person shoddily dressed? eg Wranglers and Adidas Bamba.
2) Do you detect any signs of bad skin?
3) Does their trousers fit?
4) Is their forehead creased and their eyebrows lowered?
5) Is every second word they say an expletive?
6) Do they have a brother or friend in the pub who knows about "these things"?
7) When they are challenged do they prove their expertise by calling you a muppet/Yam/numpty?
8) Do they visit the pie stand more than once in a game?
9) On questioning, can they name three other towns other than the one they lve in?
10) Do they have a bad hair cut.
Sorry, I'm still getting over some pillocks shouting at the first aiders at the ground to get a move on, whilst they stood themselves and did nothing.Last edited by Phil D. Rolls; 27-10-2010 at 10:26 AM.

Diddums, the players are getting worked hard? Try a real job, working 8 - 5, five days a week while earning a *****pence in comparison to what they 'earn.' Hopefully Calderwood won't accept slacking from anyone. We must be one of the unfitest teams in the league and it's an issue that needs adressed ASAP.

Fitness work and ball work could be done at the same time - you don't need to spin it out over a whole day to get your money's worth!

The big difference is that they all eat breakfast together, train for the 2 hours, eat lunch together, spend a bit of time getting massages, injuries looked at etc then spend an hour or so going over videos of opponents, set piece routines, discussing mistakes from previous games and how to correct them and so on. The average day starts at about 9 and finishes about 2ish unless they want to stay and do a bit gym work, extra work on a certain area of their game. Pep Guardiola is very strict about professionalism, something lacking under the previous regime. There is also strictly no alcohol 72 hours before a game and players hydration levels are regularly tested.
I'm certain the Barca players don't all rush out of training and head straight for el bookies then onto el volley for a few pints and a game of pool.

Would like to think that they won't be too tired to put in a bloody good shift where it matters most - George Street.
