No Warm down session = Injuries

Since the game, after which the warm down session was cancelled, we have had 3 injuries.

Any basic sports guru will tell you that warm downs are essential in any sport, professional and amateur.

Considering, we had a 5 hr flight the next day and then 3 players injured immediately after, my suspicions would point to a lack of warm down as of being at fault.

If I was a club manager and read in the paper that the Irish manager had cancelled the warm down, id never release that player again for international football while that manager is in charge

Just read on the Betfair soccer forum .. which admitedly is not the first place to go for reliable info .. that Mc Geady has been injured in training?

Hope its not true ....

Plus the fact that the flight home was delayed by 2 or 3 hours.
The Squad was not back in Dublin until after midnight Sunday night at a time they should be in bed.

They could have warmed down in the dressing room? I am sure that room was heated. :D :eek:

I know they cancelled a training session but a warm down session is something that doesn't get cancelled as players just warm down themselves I assume?

"Paddy Kenny and Stephen Ireland both woke up yesterday morning with tightness in their hamstrings and Staunton suspects it may be related to the long five-hour journey from Larnaca."

That worries me though. We now have 6 injuries, none of which occured during the match.

From somewhere in the direction of Sunderland I can hear the phrase 'Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail'

Yeah the flight was reason for the hamstring. It was not the reason for O Brien or Mc Geadys injury or for Doyles. So only Kenny and Irelands injury could in anyway be ajudged to be the fault of the medical and coaching. team etc.

I am not saying it was their fault but I am saying the others cannot be their fault. To be hones after you play a game a 5 hour flight the next day is never a good thing but it has to be done and if you have torn your hamstring in anyway or even stretched it badly it will flare up after such a flight. It is all just speculation that lack of preperation has caused this problem.

reminds me of a old joke I heard where an old-sytle manager told his centre-forward;" Warm up, son, I'm taking you off" at half-time

Kenny might have pulled his hamstring gettin the ball out of the net. Is that 9 goals in two games ?
