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.
Ergh oops wrong thread. :P

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
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

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
