Watford Walk On Hot Coals

In the Sun today, apparently did it yesterday.

Looks like the same bloke who did it on the TV show Football Saved My life (Weds Bravo).

Aidy must have got the idea from watching that show

 

Maybe instead of walking over hot coals and climbing up 40ft poles we should be...oh I dunno...trying some training drills? Maybe learning now to feed the ball to the front players?

 

lol, what about some shooting practice.

 

What's that all about? Now they won't be able to play because their feet hurt?

I'm with UEA, let's keep it simple and start with passing the ball to someone in a yellow shirt.

 

It seems to me that all these team-bonding exercises are all well and good but we do seem to do an awful lot of them. Maybe the team spirit isn't as strong as otherwise advertised?

 

Walking on Hot Coals isn't a team building exercise though really is it?

I guess its more a mental strength thing.

Look you can do anything if you put your mind to it, sort of thinking.

 

Yeah, but it's not alchemy. It can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. It can't turn lead boots into Ronaldo twinkletoes.

I believe I can fly..................thump!

 

I would hope this is in addition to required training, sort of a work hard play hard thing.

I used to hate all of this personal development stuff in my old job but it did bring the company together.

 

Then why don't we go onto the training ground, line up Darius Henderson and Tommy Smith 2yrds out with no goalkeeper and let them kick the ball into the net?

Thanks Birdy.

I loved:

Skipper Gavin Mahon added: “I remember the days when players used to go on golf days to build team spirit — but the gaffer’s a bit different.”

Bless'im!

 

Okay, well I revoke some of my cynicism as the whole thing was done to raise money for charity.

 

I agree with the passing to a yellow shirt theory! How much confidence doesthat take?

 

I can do all those - i can turn Guinness to water as well. How magic is that.

 

Haha PYA, you're just taking the pee!

Do you think it was organised hurriedly on Wednesday morning as a punishment for Tuesday night, or do you think it was arranged in advance and the players were so worried about it they couldn't concentrate on PASSING TO SOMEONE IN A YELLOW SHIRT?

 

Haven't got the foggiest what this post is about, in all honest truth - not kept up with any news for a few days.

Was there a BBQ or something going on?

 

Apparently so. Tuesday's starting 11 were on the menu.

 

my sister was telling me this yesterday, as she goes to the physio that is often at watford, as u can imagine he was going spare!

 

Why????

Coal is not a good conductor of heat, add the moisture from your feet = no problems.

Mind over matter.

 

lol

 

Really, it was Coalin Winker they were treading over.

 

might give that a try!

 

i was in the shop t0day getting stuff signed, and someone asked chambers how training was, strange he didntt mention that!

 

It's a punishment, becase were rubbish...

 

good;D

 

Charity eh ?

I'll happily donate 50 quid to charity every time Doris scores this season. Fact is unless it sprouts legs and does a runner my money is going nowhere.
