I'm one happy bunny, if Longy gets a decent run of games he'll be more than adequate replacement for whosit? ..err Edwards

LD, can you throw some light on to KL's playing position????

I know that Sunbeds played every game, but I thought that KL was a L(CB)??

Tweated ealier, that he wished football had a two week break, someone phone talksport going mad saying how can any football playing for accrington stanley say that, and he doesnt even want to be there and hopes he goes to have a good career but if he doesn't and has to get a normal job than he can complain if he doesn't have two weeks off

That's the joy of being a pro, you don't have a xmas or new year ,its hard on the younger lads when there mates are partying are there training

lancsdave · 23-12-2011, 21:57

Saw the tweets earlier, some of the replies were a bit harsh, he wasn't complaining just commenting it would be good to have time off at Christmas. I'd love 2 days a week off never mind 2 weeks off

, just because I say it doesn't mean I'm complaining, goes with the job.

He is a bit of a wind up merchant on twitter

Thing is he's a kid, many senior players n managers have argued fer a winter break fer years, aint seen no-one ever knock them.

smudgie · 24-12-2011, 08:53

I wouldent take anything that Kev says serious on there,

He is the number 1 stanley wind up merchant !!!

Stanley usually get a winter break every season. Its just that this season the pitch has been a lot better than it has been in previous seasons.

You've got to take in to account that players such as Kev and Podge aren't English and their families are back home in Ireland. Christmas is a time for family and friends and they won't get to be there. I mean if you had to spend Christmas in a different country to your family because of your job, you'd probably fancy a two week winter break like some of the European leagues have as well!! I know I would!

The German football has a Winter break (plus they don't have as many cups & trophies to play for) so reducing the work load of the players & that is probably why the German national team continues to perform so well.

Perhaps they should have had one of them in WW2 n give Russia a miss.

Well no, if they left Russia alone, they would have had more resources to throw at us.
Then there would be no football on Boxing day, for us, and less cup competitions to exit early.
