Miners have it easy. They get to watch telly when they come home. Probably have an iPhone to watch in the lift. Piece of piss job.
Now try being a chicken on a battery farm. Crammed in, force fed until your legs become useless, then slaughtered.
I never want to hear a miner ever say he has a tough life until he's done at least a six month stint on the battery farm as a chicken.
A footballer’s work is training every day, whether out on the pitches, in the treatment room etc. Actually playing a game is a minute percentage of a pro’s work in ratio to the time spent working i.e. training, tactics meetings, treatment etc. I’d imagine Adams hasn’t missed many days work throughout his recovery, in fact I’d wager he’s been at work more than the regular starters. The lads who played last night will be off today, Adams would have been in, working, training, ball work, running, twisting, turning, then subject to various assessments seeing how his body is holding up. He’s most probably been at work more than the uninjured players have throughout the season.
When players are stretchered off or ruled out with broken legs requiring operations etc....... by this logic they should be celebrating the time off?
OK.........
Tbf I read this thread as tongue in cheek.
Being a professional footballer, particularly this high up the pyramid is bloody excellent money for doing something you love.
He wouldn't choose to be injured, of course not, but it's still a terrific and privileged position in comparison to most of us.
People need to chill.
Bet David Brookes was laughing all the way to the bank.
Fabrice Muamba retired at 24 with a heart condition, retired at 24!!!!!!! Jammy bugger eh.
Get fit soon Adams, come back fitter and stronger than ever, and pay us back for looking after you this season
You had a chance to let this thread die a death and slink into the past….but you bumped it.
That’s even madder than the original post which I have to say is one of the craziest posts I’ve ever read on here.
Exactly, he had the option to let it lie and slip down the messageboard but no, he moved the goalposts to state the obvious, that being a footballer was a privileged lifestyle. He was educated by Tuerto, who’s seen a situation like this close up, telling him that Adams was actually working harder and for longer hours than the uninjured players in the squad.
Nobody was questioning the privileged lifestyle situation, it was his inference that injured players are sat at home, being paid, whilst watching the telly all day munching Milk Tray (Yes, I embellished the last part).
