First It Was Gloves Now Its Snoods

Don't really see what the problem is tbh. I get cold hands when exercising in winter, and they can be very painful. I don't see why footballers should be immune from this.

If gloves and snoods keep them warm and don't impact on anyone else, why shouldn't they use them?

Sensible chap.

Perhaps the club should consider giving some of these away on cold February nights to encourage more than 1,600 fans along to watch.

I bought my snood for a trip to the Alps last winter. Whilst there's no doubt that it came into its own on the slopes, it's a pretty handy piece of kit for keeping out the cold morning air and exhaust fumes on my bike commute to work.

It's kept me warm at Wycombe and Barnet so far this year, and it’s next football outing will be at Aldershot in a month's time

I just don't like them. Players in short sleeves that wear gloves and snoods look so stupid.
During my own football days I never wore any gloves during matches. Only in training I would wear them occasionally, but I would get rid of them after 10 minutes because my hands felt like exploding by the time.

It's more of a fashion thing if you ask me, just like those tight long sleeved shirts they wear underneath a short sleeved match shirt.


It says enough when Ferguson bans them at his club...

Is that really so then Lambie seems the wearing of snoods has now been banned by the International FA Board and about time to if you ask me. its meant to be mans game after all but I understand some ladies play it as well, mind you I have never seen any lady wearing one during a game.

Anyway, The IFAB agreed that in relation to Law 4 - Players' Equipment, the wearing of snoods should not be permitted.

So thats the end of wearing of them for such players as Carlos Tevez, who was one of the first players to wear one in this country.

Paul Ince had this to say on the subject

"I'm sick and tired of seeing players, even when it's mild weather, wearing tights and these things [snoods] around their necks. It's not right,"

"Back in my time, and I sound old now, it was black and white boots and that was it.

"Now you've got snoods, people wearing headphones when they are doing interviews, which I find disrespectful, pink boots, green boots, you name it they've got it, tights - they'll be wearing skirts next."

But as expected Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who has a number of players in his squad that wear the neck warmer - including midfielder Samir Nasri - defended his players wearing them

"I get advice from the medical team - that's why we let them wear them,"

I loved what Paul Ince said at the end about would they want to be wearing skirts next even the ladies who do play the game don't wear those for the match.

This one did sitting in that family stand last Tuesday night

Your wrap up really nice and warm for the Aldershot game Lambie, get home and write us a good match report and then I might even forgive you for wearing a snood on the night
