    It's not not being a man to demand better treatment from your employer. No one should suffer outside their work hours to make someone else money. Thinking it's manly to destroy your body is ridiculous.

    When I was union rep, I walked 15 of us off rig duty because we hadn't been given the right welding masks and safety equipment. Happily do it again. Allowing someone to get injured or even die, isn't being a man, protecting them is.

    Now let's leave it. I shall write no more.

    Someone, somehow, has to sit down with Acun, and explain to him how Championship football works. Though parachute payments have somewhat skewed the level playing field, it is still a league where anybody can beat anybody. BUT, the golden rule is, Do Not Lose. A pragmatic 0-0 away from home is a good result. And the dog-pooh mess we are in at the moment, 0-0 at home is a bloody good result. And nick a goal? Perfect. Lifted from the Steve Bruce book of championship management. There have been suggestions we play 5 at the back. I would suggest 10, and the team bus. Acun, and us, we are all going to have to sit through some turgid stuff to stop the rot.

    Come down off cloud nine mate
    I was a labourer for years even with the right safety equipment picking up a Jack hammer for years isn’t going to do anyone any good
    Having safety glasses wearing gloves and ear muffs still isn’t going to stop vibrations going through you or affect your hearing
    Rattling your spine
    Digging holes and bending your back isn’t going to do it any good in the long run no matter how many lifting and handling courses you go on
    Kneeling on a cold wet floor isn’t going to do you any good even with knee pads on
    I could go on
    I got out of it
    Some do some don’t

    Professional footballers, the most maligned and oppressed section of the proletariat.

    Maybe the players should complain to PFA about the unreasonable working conditions Walter put them through. Asking centre-backs to rotate into midfield is up there with the Haymarket affair as far as worker disputes go.

    Judging by Baz's latest article, it seems the opposite, that the intensity of training was lacking.

    The players were definitely unhappy with what they considered to be over-training, they blamed it for tiring in games and some of the injuries picked up.

    Over-trained and tired and training lacking intensity are mutually-exclusive excuses.

    Maybe they’re just wetwipes and soft as ****. They certainly play like it, shirking tackles and getting bullied by any team with a decent bit of physicality.

    And that is the word 'assumption' which I used to believe they gave up too easy on more than one occasion because it was too tough for them.

    I would expect him to get a job at an Elite level club within 12 months. Maybe not here but his reputation before coming here was strong enough for him to be employed again.

    It is a definate possibility, and that would in part back up my theory the players have given up on Walter which is unprofessional.
