Full-time setup

[John83]

Yes.

I can roll my eyes too.

Pro footballers don't do 40 hours of training a week. Therefore you can fit a pro footballing schedule around 6 hours of lectures without too much difficulty.

Or you can roll your eyes.

dmanetc - you're wrong. Simple as that.

Read the interview with Clive Delaney in the UCD match programme a couple of years back - he was "working" from 10 to 2. That's pro football.

I read your first post wrong.

You can't. What Bald Student suggested is what we currently do. No point giving players an increase to full time salaries for doing no extra work. Your also not accounting for the fact that not all of our student players do the same course.

I don't need to be told what pro football is, I know.

And it's 10-3 btw.

Not going by your posts, you don't.

I stated Clive "worked" from 10 to 2 at West Ham. And he did, per his interview in Blue Review 5 - UCD v Pat's, 23/05/03. Your petty comment only serves (a) to imply you're trying to point-score and (b) you aren't reading other people's posts.

Not being petty, it's relevant. You're trying to say that you can still fit in college after training so we might as well get the times right.

Neither of you have outlined how you imagine to fit in time for college afterwards in a few hours. There's not enough time for lectures or tutorials.

[pineapple stu]

You leave Monday free for lectures, train Tuesday to Friday, with a match on Friday. Simple.

Also, you've not offered any evidence that full time football is 10 to 3, whereas I've quoted a former full time footballer. I don't see why we should be expected to take your source over mine.

You've clearly never seen a sports management timetable.

I'm going to stop having this conversation now.

[Schumi]

You obviously won't fit the likes of an engineering timetable around full-time football but sports management wouldn't be difficult. I've read several newspaper pieces about players who were full-time footballers when quite young and most talk about the boredom in the afternoons after training so there must be plenty of spare time. Having lectures in those times might actually be beneficial to their football.

[Bald Student]

Whether Clive trained 10-2 or 10-3 it's still 4 or 5 hours. There are 16 waking hours in a day and 6 hours weekly in the most common college course. After that, it's maths and timetabling.

first of all you wouldn't be able to change the timetable like that (outlined below). also if you don't train on the monday then it's part time football.

I saw it somewhere on the internet before- I had a quick check on google there but couldn't see anything. if you're that bothered you'll try yourself.

not as simple as that. in college lectures cover more than one course so it's not as simple as moving everything to do with sport management to the late afternoon as you then have to juggle other courses. you all keep ignoring the fact that there's more than one course in the college- there have been and are players that are doing courses that aren't sports management- alan mahon, tadgh purcell and darren forsyth to name a few.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Actually Dman the Sports Management diploma classes don't clash with any other course, they're standalone so they would have no difficulty moving it around.

I don't work on Saturdays. Am I still full time?

So let me get this right. I've asked a (then) professional football for my source. Your source is "I saw it somewhere on the internet before", but google showed nothing. And I'm the one whom, you argue, needs to check my source?

I seem to recall you exhorting a fellow poster a while back to recognise when he had lost the argument. May I advise you heed your own words before things start getting really silly?

[DmanDmythDledge]

1- you're not a footballer.
2- you work 5 other days a week
3- name a full time club that doesn't train 5 days a week?

Call me a liar if you like that's what it said. I only looked at the first few entries on google- as I said if you're really that bothered look at it yourself. Also where have I said that your source said anything different?

Silly? You still haven't proven how you can fit a full time schedule around being a student. You're the only one that looks silly.

Could Schumi close this please. Dmanetc's embarrassing himself.

Yeah because the 2 of you have proved me wrong.
