"Seasons in the abyss"

I remember always been fascinated with the concept of the painting of the "Forth rail bridge" over the Firth of Forth in Scotland. It is such a monumental effort that as soon as they've finished the job for a layer of paint they have to start all over again.
With this in mind we can now redirect this concept to rugby in Sweden.Just as soon as you feel your finished with one aspect you have to start all over again, and again and again.Of course the main difference is the fact that the painters have better teamwork by all wearing the same overalls..the classic bonding of a team argument , everybody must dress the same (c comments..)

As already mentioned my coaching abilties or lack of them have landed me the title of Förbundskapten. Some would argue this is basically down to a default as there simply wasn't anyone else at the time of Guys departure from the job. There have been many firings and hirings at National level, last count was five and all down to not really enjoying the task.Well, nobosy said painting was enjoyable.More on national level further doon the road.

With the weather being the way it is, ( and just now its debateable as to just how it is..) my 2007 season kick off started out quite well two weeks ago with some running and interval training, only to end last night with a crook left knee and a sore hammy..disappointment as I was left running in with the straglers from south africa who actually felt they were doing well.Of course, one should never compare to the worst, lets just say I wasn't last but on the otherhand my trick of doing every second sprint is being noticed...

Looks like thursdays training may be out for the count due to the knee, so I'll head off to the extension bench and see if its the medial or lateral ligament playing up..we shall see!
