the yellow jersey (1 Viewer)

[ricohman]

It seems the players will have a weekly vote on WHO the worst player was that week and the offender will have to wear it in training.

With the recent excuses about the players not seeing each other why arnt they using the away kit. Feel à bit cheated for the many fans that bought this.

If true I think this is a great bit of banter and fun in the camp...after all no one will want that shirt! It also poushes the phycology of the players deciding collectively on who has been crap and there is no hiding place. Less heat on the manager, his own players are picking the culprits!

Just give it to David Bell.

Fook the training malarkey.

 

[ricohman]

We haven't really clashed colours away from home yet. We may wear it at Hartlepool.

 

[ricohman]

Is that the only way they wear the away kit because of à colour clash. Home shirt for home games and away shirt for away games is the way it should be. I quite like the away kit

Video does show its all for banter!

Didbt a previous manager introduce something similar where one player had to drive an old car to training when they were judged to be the worst trainer?

Can only make the players train better imo, unless there secretly one player in the camp no one likes and they all vote for the same player each week!?! Hussey might want to start making up with the rest of them

That was at a different club wasn't it? I seem to remember seeing an interview where David James had to drive it? So maybe pompey?

 

[Skybluebenno]

kg82, pompey with david james is where I heard that. He had an interview and said about it

Good point about less heat on the manager

Surprised myself with my memory there!

 

[sw88]

Ah! My mistake. Sure it was us.

 

[Nick]

I think we did too didnt we?

 

[kg82]

Recently or are we talking 20-30 years ago?

 

[Ccfc1979]

Iain Dowie did it here. Old banger. There was a Sky Blue Player with Marcus Hall driving it.

 

[Nick]

I am not sure, within the last 10!

Damnit, back to my usual worst memory ever!

I think Marcus got to keep it, he won it that often

Yes! Thats it! I knew i didnt dream it up...

 

[wingy]

Yeah one of dowies motivational techniques along with self - assessment forms,interesting reading i'm sure.

 

[Tonylinc]

I'm sure that the "yellow shirt," thing was done before by a previous manager (maybe Gould). But a good idea nevertheless. Anything which creates a team spirit!

 

[ohitsaidwalker king power]

Didnt Lance Armstrong wear a Yellow Jersey more than most... never did him any harm...

Just looked that one up.....no sign of it .....wonder why?

I think this is hilarious.:claping hands:
How childish must footballers be if they need this kind of macho, infantile banter in order to do their job properly. :facepalm:
They get paid enough to motivate themselves.
Thank God I work in a more mature environment ... a secondary school. The kids there would be above this sort of nonsense.
Good luck to Robins ... sounds like he's worked out why we have been in such decline.

This sort of thing happens in football teams all over the world, from Sunday league to the top teams. I's not just us. I wouldn't label it as macho, it's about team bonding and I wouldn't say it's nonsense either.

Is that the sort of school where they dont have winners or no sportsday so the fat kids dont get upset?

Childish to encourage team spirit and bonding?
Surely everyone is more motivated at work when they are happy in the environment within which they work?
I work in a mature environment but we still have time for banter etc and during my career can think of many occasions where we have had "best / worst" type competitions. It is some lighthearted fun to help with bonding and in any work environment is good for productivity or results.

To me is another example of why MR is the right man for the job. Identified immediately the need for more discipline but has also identified that a happy ship is more likely to be a productive ship.

I work in aerospace now but hav had many previous jobs where banter would be more expected. But its seems the more educated people are the better the banter gets, sometimes its close to controversial, ha ha!

To sum up the work environment is much better for it.

"Is that the sort of school where they dont have winners or no sportsday so the fat kids dont get upset?"

Quite the reverse. Headteacher is a PE teacher. School a Sports specialism ... proper whole day Sports day ... everyone out on field, no excuses ... full sports awards afternoon, very high profile and successful teams and former pupils professional footballers / in the Olympics,
rah, rah, bloody rah.:guitar2:
The mature staff would take a dim view of any sports crappy bonding nonsense a la David Brent ...

Banter must be a bloke thing ... tedious to the rest of us.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

This works, believe me.
Coventry did this a while back, but the twist was the worst player had to drive an "Old Banger" for the whole week back and forth to training.

 

[ccfc92]

Plenty of candidates after today

 

[covcity4life]

Edge or Clarke for me. Maybe wood

 

[ccfc92]

Why does wood either score, or concede a penalty :facepalm:

 

[wingy]

When did he score a penalty?

 

[wingy]

Think we're gonna have to raid the stock cupboard ,or order another nine.
