alanmidd 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Read a story in the metro today saying players are barred from tackling in training. Seems a bit odd to me. I can understand from a preventing injuries point of view but I think Le Gaffer knows better than me! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,153 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Take the story with a pinch of salt mate... Most training ground injuried aren't from tackling but from strains and pulls through not warming up properly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I see Lee Martin is out for a month with ligament damage, maybe this was a sarcastic remark made in reaction to that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark-RFC 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Stevie Lennon said theunder 19's were sometimes banned form tackling in training games to improve the technical side of their game. Not a bad idea although I hear most young rangers players careers are ended by the hard astrograss surface of the pitches at murray park 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinogattuso 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Speaking of steven lennon - he's been tearing it up for the scotland u-19s this week, someone i'm really excited about and will be watching closely. Banning tackling would not only reduce injuries but also vastly improve the players movement - so IMO can only be a good thing as movement in midfield/up front is something we could definitely improve on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Here in Holland in indoor football there is no fysical contact or slide tackles allowed. It makes the game a quick passing game. Pass and move,i would imagine that is what Le Guen is looking for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass and move,i would imagine that is what Le Guen is looking for. This should be part of everyday training anyway, it makes much more sense and improves passing and movement. Its the way all the asians play aswell and really makes the game quicker and fitness shoots up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
