VectisSaint Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 I think its great we are doing team bonding stuff, but given our recent record with injuries could we have picked too more dangerous activities then ice hockey and skiing?! They could have taken them to Pamplona or sent them cliff diving or bog snorkelling. Horse riding is supposed to be the most dangerous sport in terms of deaths. By the way its "two" not too.

Goatboy Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 I ski. In fact it's where my poster name comes from. Sorry Bill Hicks fans. I have never had a skiing injury. I have, however, wrecked my knee falling up the stairs at home. Looks like they are having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 I think most injuries in skiing happen when someone crashes into you or by going to ski parks and doing jumps. I expect the players are skiing in a slightly more controlled environment, not just mixing it on the slopes with random holidaymakers. Hope so anyway. I know it's possible that players could run into each other, or someone could fall awkwardly, but I think once you take stupidity (from strangers or themselves) out of the equation it's probably no more dangerous than football training.

Lets B Avenue Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 Fraser Forster out in the snow and blazing sun light without eye protection will definitely improve hiss eye sight. Can't believe some of the risks being taken. Surely those in charge should have prepared the players. March Hare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 After tweeting JWP this morning about Forster not wearing sun glasses I delighted to see them posting a photo of Forster now wearing them. I assume this is a joke as the glasses are clearly on Forsters head - just lifted for the camera which is not unusual. Otherwise, it must have given JWP a good laugh.....

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 6 March, 2015 Share Posted 6 March, 2015 Clyne should be allowed to wear those goggles during games, it'd be like having one of the X-men at full back and would certainly put the sheet up Hazard in a couple of week's time.

The9 Posted 7 March, 2015 Share Posted 7 March, 2015 I've been slightly worried about the dangerous sports aspect of this, haven't they all got clauses in their contracts specifically prohibiting exactly this kind of thing?

CamberwellSaint Posted 7 March, 2015 Share Posted 7 March, 2015 Seeing Jay out there is amazing. (I'm pretty sure it was him!) That's exactly what I thought. He was with the others at the ice hockey (in the photos) but I'm assuming he didn't join in. However, isn't that him in the skiing video at 1:55? If so, he can't be that far off returning to training, at least? Here's hoping. Even if he was only ready for a sub appearance or 2 before the end of the season, the lift for the team as a whole, and the option to replace Pelle for a spell could be a real difference.

Not to mention the bloody coaches veering up and down icy precipices to and from the airport. The whole point of these exercises apart from the more obvious bonding opportunity is to push players way beyond their comfort zone and to take risks that normally they would not take to prove to them that they can do things that normally they would be scared of doing, that the only thing to fear is fear itself, fear of not knowing. Few if any of the players appear to have been on ice skates or skis before and probably like you would be scared of falling over, getting hurt or making a right tit of themselves in front of their pals. They have taken unusual risks mainly not to lose face - safety in numbers - and have come out of it intact physically and with pride. Nobody feels like a tit, in fact many will glow with pride. The have proved to themselves that after all they could do things they never thought they could. Highly motivational and expect a reaction against Chelsea. PS ...and OK wags, they'll all fall flat on their Arses in the penalty area! Just joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
