Footballers wearing gloves...yes or no?

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Anyone remember John Barnes in tights for Watford against City in the 4th round FA Cup 2nd replay in 1986?
He looked a right twat........... but played us off the park as Watford won the game....

If they play football for City as long as they wear a City shirt and shorts I don't care what else they wear!! I go to watch the football not a fashion parade.

I only ever want one quality from players - 100% effort.I couldnt give a fook what they look like while providing that.

Besides,there could be medical reasons for gloves.Raynauds is debilitating,as anyone who suffers with such will testify.

No - It's more mincing than a Marks & Spencer's Family Value Pack of Mince Pies.

No problem with them of course, though short sleeves and gloves (I'm looking at you, Dzeko and Kolo) are just ridiculous looking.

I could agree with that one though.

You pair of Gok Wans its a footie game not a fashion contest ;)

suarez likes them as it gives him more grip when he handles the ball

i wear gloves when it's freezing to play 6-a-side, it does help when youre not getting frost bite.

don't mind it.

I prefer to leave this kind of debate to cunts like Alan Green. They seem to be horrified by anyone daring to not want to be cold whereas I couldn't give a shit either way.

Running around doesn't stop your hands and fingers in particular getting cold so the whole short sleeve and gloves thing is justified imo

Wouldn't be at all surprised if its at the request of doctors that players wear gloves in certain temperatures

Dzeko wears gloves but with a short sleeve top, noticed that recently and thought it was odd. if he's cold why not wear a long sleeve top aswell?!
