Player's winter attire

[Eccles Blue]

If they give 100% on the pitch they can wear long johns over their shorts for all I care. It's their football I go to watch not their dress code!! :-)






Plus I don't even notice what they wear until I watch MOTD or similar later.

Yeah, what have the Roma.. I mean gloves ever done for us anyway!?

Don't if it's just me, or whether it's been a point of note previously, but players wearing gloves really does my head in. Surely if you're giving 100% and running around a football pitch as a professional athlete, you don't need gloves to keep you warm?! Don't get me started on snoods, which were rightly outlawed.

I just think it sends out all the wrong signals. Pre kick off against Liverpool, I remember watching the players line up, with not one Liverpool player wearing a pair, and thinking they instantly looked more up for it. I think it also in some respect reflects on the coaches mentality.

I appreciate it's a football wide thing, and not a dig at city players in particular. Ultimately I just think they all need to grow a pair.

I hate seeing players in gloves as well, they don't keep your fingers warm nearly as well as mittens

I draw the line at the players wearing lingerie, although nothing would surprise me on current form.

What was comical though was all those players wearing panty-hose when it was a bit chilly!

 

[Sir peace frog]

if its cold then footballers wear gloves to preserve energy, i.e. , the body doesn't have to work harder to warm the hands or other extremities ? I may be wrong but so fucking what :)

Covering your head is no more effective at keeping you warm than covering most other body regions. In other words, you’re no more likely to lose heat from your head than other parts of your body – except your hands and feet. So wearing gloves and socks is your best bet.

As much as it's fun to snigger at players in gloves, i know first hand that even if you run around working up a sweat in the cold, if you have poor circulation and have ice cold hands it can make make concentration harder! So don't mock em, it might be medical reasons!

Is that because you can't see from 3 feet below pitch level?
