with balla playing for another 2 weeks at leastOriginally Posted by abbeyvale
remember pike played a lawson cup final on the thursday after the forms were released a few years ago. Every one got 3 weeks off before starting back training later than normal ... it rightly screwed us up that following season and we won f all if I remember correctly
anyone hear the boro are back training already?
Yeah, I heard they either went back last Thursday night or this week, not too sure.
heard that also.think its madness myself personally.teams are still playing this season.lads will be totally sick of it the time the new season comes around.mid to late july is plenty of time to be back training.at least lads have the hunger back by then if they get a break of 3 or 4 weeks.all i can see that doing is causing burnout.id like to hear the opinions of leather,oscar and pearce4t3 on it?
Mid to late July is a bit late in fairness, especially for a top 4/5 team in the Prem.
I would suggest maybe Tues 8th or Thurs 10th July to go back and have 6 weeks pre-season done by the time the league starts.
i think that the players wanted to go back as they felt they had fallen off of the pace last season...
6 to 8 weeks is madness abbey... there's prem teams who dont even do that!
4 weeks(2/3 a week) of tough sprinting sessions is more than enough for pre season.
I think its way too early to start pre season, boro were struggling to field a team for games this season... Give players a nice few weeks off so that by the time they come back the hunger is there again.
Is it true they've signed a few underage players for the junior team next season?
Shane Guerin leaving Balla alright but going back to L37
personaly I think its a bit early myself but like leather said it was the players decision
you have to remember that boro's season ended 3 weeks ago,so they did get some sort of break, i think it shows the players are upset with they way results went this season and are trying to put it right, time will tell if it works.
EVERYTHING is black and white
Thats just textbook................
No forms out yet so they cant, they have youths and 17's sides so id imagine underage players would sign for those teams!!

heard wayne o donovon from pike is signing for ye heard this last night from a boro player he said he didnt turn up with pike suday went away with his missus instead had a fallout with conny
Point out to me where I posted 6-8 weeks???
I said 6 weeks for the top 4/5 teams in the Prem (which would mean probably 4-6 weeks for the sides outside the top 5, a minimum 4 weeks is definitely required for any team in Junior football).........
Not if he's father, grandfather & unlce in law have anything to say about it.
Would be a great signing for the Boro though IF it did happen.
5 weeks is plenty of time for a preseason, most players will keep themselves ticking over and do a bit before the preseason starts anyway. Not totally convinced about the decision by the Boro players to go back so early, bit of a knee jerk decision but again it would depend on numbers attending and the type of training they are doing so early (or late) in the season. Only time will tell.
monty, peter clark, darren naughton, to star pa barry to stay, new manager going to be in soon, most of last season to stay wiht the odd few leaving.
