Don't know about you but being a footballer has got to be one of the cushiest jobs in the world. Not only do you get paid an obscene amount of money, for not working to many hours per week, but if you don't fancy doing owt, it seems fairly easy to pull a flanker. Read the article and you see what i mean... .. LEE Cattermole and Michael Turner have been ordered to rest until the summer in a bid to solve their persistent injury problems. The Sunderland duoââ¬â¢s comebacks lasted just a month before they both suffered relapses, which have ruled them out for the remainder of the season. Skipper Cattermole felt a twinge in his back during the defeat to Fulham last month, while Turner took a knock to his knee in training off fellow centre-half John Mensah. A sustained period of rest is the only cure for both, although the pair are expected to report early for pre-season training. Black Cats boss Steve Bruce told the Echo: ââ¬ÅThe medical people have advised both players to shut down. ââ¬ÅHopefully, their injuries will settle down with rest.ââ¬Â Imagine phoning work and saying "sorry i won't be in for a few months cos i felt a TWINGE in me back" Wonder what rugby players make of all this carry on...
I think if I was paying someone tens of thousands a week I would want a second medical opinion if they weren't able to play. Injuries are expected in a contact sport but we seem to pick up most of the injuries in training. Time for a revamp of our training, physio and medical staff.
howay he felt a twinge in his back, what the **** is that meant to mean? god help him if he had to have a proper job that actually involved manual labour..
