FIFA to ban snoods?

[Toronto Villa]

FIFA rarely do anything right, but I'd be all for this one. Players wearing scarves during a game. Fuck me.

And yes, I'm talking to you Ashley.

Fifa consider snood ban as they could pose 'a potential danger to players' necks'

Players could be banned from wearing snoods on safety grounds.
 
Snoods have become increasingly popular in the Premier League after Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor started the trend last season, but they are not officially-sanctioned kit.

A Fifa spokesman said: "We want a debate over the snood and whether it could be dangerous. There may be a safety issue - if for example a player was running through on goal and an opponent grabbed his snood, that could pose a potential danger to his neck."

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has banned his players from wearing them, with club captain Rio Ferdinand saying on his Twitter account: "You won't see a Man Utd player wearing a snood."

Roy Keane has also declared his opposition to snoods, saying: "They've all gone soft. I don't know how they do it and focus on the game, it's weird. That's the way the game's gone."

Personally i agree, surely your neck doesn't get that cold when running around.
 I do think Ashley just loves to wind people up though, and since he has realised that by him wearing one winds people up he thrives on it.

If you are cold you aren't running enough!

I couldn't agree with FIFA more i think it was a stupid idea letting the players wear snoods.

Good to see FIFA tackling the real issues like snood wearing rather than minor matters such as rampant corruption in the game.

Watched Inter V Bari last night and Cesar was wearing one as a 'wooly hat'! Looked such a plonker.

[PaulTheVillan]

I would ban long sleeves and those tight under tops they wear.

Short sleeves only.

[eamonn]

Body-warmers, snoods...all endorsed by wankers.

they're hardly going to ban things that are making them money now are they?

Expect to see all players wearing snoods with the word FIFA and Qatar stretched across them sometime soon.
