[Albion] Jacks Pads

[mickybha]

Anyone think of a tune for this "Jack Hinshelwood is one of our lads he uses prawn crackers as shin pads

 

[zefarelly]

I think players need to start wearing football boots instead of lounge lizard slippers. Shin pads are kind of irrelevant these days.

Maybe the boots could have special inserts, er, inserted, to stop them wellying over the bar 9 times out of 10

Jack Hinshelwood's a seagull
Just like his old Dad
He uses a prawn cracker
Instead of a shin pad

Under Law 4 in the Laws of the Game, shinpads are “basic compulsory equipment” - they have to be worn by all players on the pitch at all times. (https://www.thefa.com/football-rule...ws/football-5-5/law-4---the-players-equipment)

However, it doesn’t say anything in the Laws about their size or effectiveness.

Many players (including Hinsh, apparently) simply wear tiny ones like that as a token to fulfil the requirement, foregoing protection for comfort/mobility.

With the number of times you see players diving in studs raised I’m surprised that they don’t wear something more practical and safe. You can lead a horse to water ……….

With the speed and strength of athletes at the top level, this is insane to me; a certified wuss.

Also, Mike Dean is still a prick.

Why do you feel that shin pads are irrelevant these days? I went without them for a few years, my shins were black and blue all week, until the next match. I was told by someone that you could end up with poor circulation and ulcers in my legs.so I decided to go all in on a biodegradable retractable Bamboo that tucked into cotton sleeves shin pads.

they are becoming very popular with young kids

Or a pair of these. And then we can enjoy the renaissance of the toe punt and the pea-roller.

On new shin guards and boots. My mate got turned away from football training in the late 60’s because he was wearing ballet shoe’s according to the old git that trained us. I think they were like Alan Balls….

And maybe, by the rules, they don't have to be worn on the shin... perhaps strap them to an arm so the legs are unencumbered for shooting.

my 10 year old uses the same ones, don’t even cover my hand

If my 10 year old had wanted to wear those he wouldn’t have been playing.

I can't believe that after 60 years, my first pair of football boots have turned up on here!

Or that’s a huge hand.

That might explain Pascal's pace if he has cricket pads on instead

He just needs an alice band and we have got our own sock-boy.
