FIFA to ban snoods?

[Holtenderinthesky]

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

Correct.

You can just imagine it.

About time too.

I commented on Ashley Young running around the Old Trafford pitch on Tuesday wearing a snood and gloves.  It wasn't even that cold.   

[Ruxspin61]

I agree they are a needless accessory and very often not in club colours  and could even prevent a choking hazard first time FIFA have got a decision in order.

"The International FA Board has announced that the wearing of snoods in matches will be banned from 1 July"

 (from BBC Football Live just now)

So Ashley can wear one against Liverpool then.

when did most footballers become pansies ?
I remember Keith Dellar of Leicester playing football in tights in the early 80s - but it was effin cold

then came the cycling shorts, then shorts down to the knees

then those poncey tight under shirts

now it's any excuse to wear gloves

reading the Allan Evans thread, can you imagine him wearing anything other than a short sleeved shirt even on the coldest of days 

[Chris Smith]

Keith Weller.

[the-farmer]

Keith Weller.

beg your pardon you're absolutely right, was I thinking of a darts player or something

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Quite right, I hate those bloody snoods.

While they were at it, they should have banned gloves too and made short sleeved shirts in all weather compulsory.

And bring back big heavy leather balls with a lace. If these soft bastards are going to get £100k per week Im entitled to see half their skull taken off when they head the ball on the lace in the rain.

[JUAN PABLO]

If you pulled a player back in the penalty area by pulling his snood. would it be a foul? you are not actually pulling the shirt are you...  Ban the horrid thing now.

I might have missed something, but is there any logical reason to ban them beyond "they look a bit wussy"?

Dangerous apparently, you can strangle someone with one or something.

You could probably beat someone to death with a shinpad if you really wanted to.

[JJ-AV]

Really don't have any issue with it tbh. Especially not in Ash's case, he works as hard as anyone in recent years down the Villa.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Young will be very cold on Man Utd's bench without his little snood to keep him warm.

[greenwichvilla]

They are very comfortable.
