    help hold shinpads in place as well as hold socks up.

    Cheers fellas.

    Didn't really see it as a necessity back in the day but that's probably because I was wearing my shinpads in the same way someone would wear a shirt with their top button done up.

    Back in the day, 1/2" elastic. Couldn't feel if someone kicked you in the shin, no circulation in the lower leg.

    imagine how bad it would be playing in 50degree celsius temperatures if everyone had different coloured tape on their socks and wore skins

    good thing FIFA is looking out for us and for the players, otherwise this fantastic world cup in nine years would be unworkable

    Skins? FFS I remember playing when shin pads were not a requirement.

    Players today are soft.

    slobs had a gud story about refs/skins

    ref wouldnae let an african player wear black skins becausue they had to be either club colours (green), or "skin coloured".



    srsly though, mismatched taped ffs
    we will loose

    Supposed to be tucked in all the time. Theory is it makes it easier to see when shirts are being by pulled/held etc by opposition

    back in the day that would have been helpful.
    now i play centreback, so this rule would suck balls if enforced.
    cheers for the info though.

    Seem to remember as a young bloke that the laces in boots were that long I had to wrap em under the boots once before tying em up.Then wrapped some tape around tryin to keep em intact.Does anyone else recall this or is it just a bad dream I had somewhere

    p.s obviously a question for the older chaps not the softer new generation lads
    I hope he likes prison food.......and penis

    Can you enlighten me in the Rules of Football where this is said it is so??

    Also point out where it also says you can't call out MINE otherwise you incur a free kick.

    That one has also stumped me for ages coz I must have missed that page when I read it


    http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affe...2011_12_en.pdf

    Just bring up where it is for me

    In Law 12 where it says

    A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any
    of the following three offences:
    • holds an opponent
    .....
    and

    An indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if, in the opinion of
    the referee, a player:

    • impedes the progress of an opponent
    ......

    goes for any other method of holding or impeding that the referee sees fit

    So how is calling out mine impeding the opponent??

    What does that do to impede their progress to the ball??

    Also seeing as you are on a roll the bit where it says your shirt must be tucked in???
