Players wearing gloves

[Parson Henry]

The wearing of gloves and dare I say it tights by footballers is the single most laughable side of premiership football. Need I say that the foreign legion from Arsenal started this trend.

Sammy Nelson would have never dared set foot on a pitch with bloody gloves and tights. Next thing you will see is a customised lightweight all in one suit with a nike logo on a furry hood. All done up in Arsenal colours. Optional extras will be a balaclava, ear muffs or even a journey man English pro paid to play as a player double, whilst the overseas foreign parasite sits in the warm.

I say stop this trend NOW!!

Rant not over

People who wear gloves are poofs. The withdean must be full of them.

I'd like to say that was a funny comment but I cannot because it wasn't.

The tights business seems to make sense, if you are coming back from injury and keeps your muscles warmed up. But gloves Silly people. Mind you, I wear gloves to the football sometimes. Withdean is a little drafty at times.

Didn't Cameroon have a 1 piece kit in the last World Cup

and gloves are fine if its bloody freezing I wear gloves when I play football

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Any one who wears any kind of clothing when playing or watching football is a poof in my book.


















Mind you, my book is often wrong.

You can

They're probably paid a fair wedge by the companies to wear them.........

Wasnt it John Barnes who started this gloves and tights nonsense. This was well before the prem.

 

[ManxSeagull]

It makes me laugh when players wear gloves with a short sleeve shirt.

Ok, maybe some are superstituous, but surely if it is cold enough to wear gloves it is cold enough to wear a long sleeve shirt.

Stop ruining my rant with a clear presentation of the facts.

I think that it was Keith Weller of leicester who started the tights, may be wrong.

It is said that you lose most heat of the body through your head will the players who dont head the ball very often start wearing ski caps or will Sett Blatter change the rules to keep the ball below head height as per indoor 5 a side.

I think the boys would like quite dandy in blue and white balaclavas.

Isn't it a circulation problem for our coloured friends?

My brother in law is black and tells me there are physiological reasons why he is more likely to feel cold more quickly than caucasians. Hence he wears gloves and hats even when I don't feel too chilly. And he was a marine and a pro rugby player.

It's about bad circulation in the extremities (hands and feet) and so doesn't affect the arms. Being a sufferer myself (two pairs of socks in bed during winter and all that) I am totally sympathetic to outfield players wearing gloves in winter.
