Snoods banned

[Lord Bamber]

With immediate effect by FIFA - Thank f*** for that.

 

[Albalbion]

so does that mean that NO footballers can wear them? or just for internationals?? i get confused where fifas juristiction lies.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I thought MOTD said effective of July?

 

[Lord Bamber]

I understood it was from now but I could be wrong.

FIFA have banned them from all matches so this means premiership, championship and of course the good old Sussex Leagues

Its to be from the 1st of June, I have never undersnood why players wear them. If they wear them cos they cold, managers should sub them because they are obviously not helping the team enough and standing still

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Looking online, it looks like it is immediate effect, either MOTD got it wrong or I misheard.

 

[beorhthelm]

while i think they are worn by pussies, i really dont get why the ban?

 

[Lord Bamber]

personally, I thought gloves were for jessies but snoods, what next, parka coats

best thing to ban them.

Knowing the way FIFA operate it is suprising that they didnt say they had to be the same colour as the shirts of the players wearing them.

Just another stupid fad that supposedly has a physical benefit but that will fade away in time the same way that lycra shorts and those anti-snoring nose things did, and the underarmour type shirts soon will.

Quite, and that sticky tape stuff players stick on their legs.

As a wearer of the underarmour shirt on the golf course and football pitch, I can assure you they're not a fad, they really are brilliant. You look like a massive condom, but they keep you nice 'n warm.

(Snoods are ridiculous)

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Did i hear that they are banned necause they are not part of the football kit?

If thats so does that mean no more gloves, tights, all the above mentioned items?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

And sticking Vick's Vaporub on your shirt.

Jeff Stelling said this on Soccer Saturday as well. I'd be surprised if both Sky Sports and BBC got it wrong.

 

[clippedgull]

Kishishev won't be amused!. But i'm glad the stupid things are being banned.

Why do people get so upset about footballers wearing snoods, gloves or even tights ? Get upset about injustices around the world but snoods.
