Trouble is unless a law is brought in a boot weighing only slightly more due to protection would cost half a yard of pace.Comparing the slippers that pass for boots today to what they were back in the seventies, I wonder if there's a need for a redesign?
Yes, but if it was compulsory for all players to wear similar boots, that advantage would disappear. I know I'm at least half a yard slower than I was - but I'm 66!Trouble is unless a law is brought in a boot weighing only slightly more due to protection would cost half a yard of pace.
My mate who imarched the game with called the injury. He saw what looked like blood on the sock and wondered if the bone had pierced the skin. Not sure if that's what happened but such a shame.

Do you really think he'd have walked off the pitch if that happened?
Do you not think he'd have looked slightly more concerned and in pain if his bone was sticking out of his foot?
