So which do you think is more prepared to return to action after the 10minutes in the bin? The guy on stationary bike or one day on chair?

Static stretching was the done thing by all the pro sports for a long time until they were finally shown the error of there ways and confirmed to dynamic stretching pre game. I'm sure people had the discussions like us of course they are right with static stretching there paid huge money its pro they can't be wrong, but lone behold they were and boom they changed there method of stretching

No I have zero interest in man utd are English soccer or living in England so why would I want to apply for a job there???
Where have I said anybody is an expert I asked people to view it logically if anything it's you who thinks soccer and rugby are experts and their word is gospel that they cannot be wrong but you fail to look at the logic and the fact that the guys doing the warm ups aren't the ones who have the ultimate decision on when its done as more than likely there are match day scheduling reasons as to why its done at the wrong time, possibly to do with tv or crowd reasons or to make a big thing of them coming out of the tunnel together before game starts. There are plenty of non player conscious decisions taken in all sports that benefit others over the player's you need to accept that just because those two sports are professional doesn't mean they don't make them.

Ormond
so the guy who remains active and keeps his body at a game functioning level is exactly the same prepared to return to the pitch as the guy who sits on his backside on a plastic seat????
Come on even you can admit that is ridiculous

hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts:11275 - 01/11/2016 09:48:44It isnt ridiculous. Surely all these professional teams that have players just sitting on sideline doing nothing would have them doing something if they thought doing nothing was so harmful/non beneficial then?

they do they warm up before they are introduced and most of the game theres always players sent out in groups to keep active

Replying To wexico15:  "Firstly I'm not saying lads should be getting legless every weekend but I think this whole culture at club and county level where lads don't go out cause they've a game in 2 or 3 weeks time is going a bit far.

Look at professional teams they're even allowed to switch off there's the famous picture of the ireland players in the dressing room with bottles and pizza after the Italy game in Euro 2016,even on Saturday the munster players were having bottles after there game against Glasgow,some of those players are coming up against new Zealand Saturday week"
Those bottles didn't do zebo,stander or Murray any harm on Saturday!!

Does 'going out' have to equate to going on the booze and getting legless?
