never really understood the not wanting to wear shinpads thing - copping studs down your shin ****ing hurts
and it's not like you feel them when they're on or that they affect movement or agility in any way

When the rule first came in plenty of people hated the way they felt but I think they more liked the way looked with their socks around their ankles before the rule lolOriginally Posted by boz-monaut
My shin pads broke my ankle once.
True story.
I remember when they had fence palings in them, and more often than not they would end up at the back of your leg, so a lot of players chucked em
You look so much cooler with no pads
Engineering dungeon meetups
copas should be phased out
get with the times, people
What...tripped over em after a night on the piss ?
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
Used to wear full wrap around neoprene sheaths that a guard would be slotted into - stopped calf cramps, aided shin splints. They we're a bitch to get off.
I rolled my ankle in a game, and instead of tutting the damn things off the medico folk ripped them over my ankle with an almighty crack.
i'm not sure tbh, i just know him as old bobby. he's the old ref who i don't even think is a proper ref anymore, but follows around a few clubs like muswellbrook & jesmond & fills in for them when club refs are needed. he's the ref who likes to give crucial calls to teams that are losing, because he wants to see every game end as a draw so both teams win (his words - in that same game he gave our keeper a yellow for saying leave it, he said he didn't call a handball by the opposition in their own box because if we scored the penalty we would have went two up and that wouldn't have been fair). just look into nearly any muswellbrook match report for this season or last, and you'll see a heap of bobby's masterwork described
Use to wear a pair of old school hockey shin pads. The things had a sheet of metal instead of plastic and use to offer a fair bit of protection frm a kicking. Use to get away wearing them as refs never really checked shin guards.
Studs yes shin guards no
I played with a bloke who did the same and the steel slats broke his leg when he was kicked.
