On field football trends

We've had the snotty patch of Vicks. Now it seems to be slashing the calf section of your socks. Next?

Playing with their cock out.

That could have a big impact on tight offside calls

Glans across before starting your run?

What is this hole in the socks thing meant to achieve?

My lads are in to the grip socks trend at the minute which involves cutting the end of your socks off and replacing them with another sock with grips on it.

Absolute bollocks.

It's apparently supposed to free the calf muscles a bit

I think the cutting off of the bottom of the sock thing is so they don't end up with a thick sock on their foot

Basically, it's to get rid of the feeling of wearing football socks whilst still wearing them

A kind of street football thing

Simply playing the game without the need to continually "commemorate"?

It'll never catch on though.

My understanding is that some modern players have Grealish sized calfs. Put a pair of shin pads in there and their socks are just to uncomfortable.

Remember the snood faze? Ffs

Tights. I remember a player called Kieth Weller playing for Leicester in the 70s wearing a pair. John Barnes too. You get the odd one doing it now but it never really took hold.

This one really gets on my wick. Socks pulled up above the knee like they are St. Trinian's schoolgirls. What is the fucking point of that?

I thought the same, but apparently he’s in Europe. Probably wearing his chainmail onesie in Spain. Sorry, Gibraltar.

[Dr. Feelgood]

In the 70's, at a Bolton Schoolboys match at Bromwich St., coached by the sweariest man in football, Charlie Wright.

It was bloody cold & two lads turned out with trackie bottoms on & shorts over them, plus gloves.

Fckg Hell. I still cringe thinking about CW's reaction. It did include phrases like "if you find it too fckg cold fckg fck off & don't fckg bother coming fckg back" & lots of descriptions about their virility & probable gayness & their relationship with tjeir mothers, sisters & dogs that would be questionable today.

We've got a couple with those little ankle socks, Fk me... you're playing on the side of WINTER Hill not at the San Siro

But do you not perform better when you're not freezing?

No one dislikes the cold more than me. But when I was playing football in Baltic conditions I didn't feel it too much. Box 2 box engine room, that's me.

I was a goal keeper so I was all about the layers in winter

As Mr. Wright pointed out ... you fckg play better when your fckg moving and when you're fckg moving you get fckg warm.

 

Or wtte.

When Neil Lennon first came he stopped player wearing wooly hats for training I think. There was a video on the WanderersTv of the day.

I hated it when you blocked a casey with your inner thigh/ bell end leathered at you from a yard away in the snow. Fucking stung.

Not too hot, not too cold - there is definitely a perfect temperature for playing footie.

Well that would get you nowhere. The weather is what it is, wet, dry, windy, sunny, cold, hot ... you may enjoy some more than others but you have to put up with it.

If I had an opponent who clearly didn't fancy it I'd be all ever them.

Worst thing about that was your mates taking the piss.

I caught one like that on Walkers one time and the bloke who did it came over, put his arm round my shoulder and wispered 'rub it lad, we know it hurts'.

I was a keeper as well

Got called a poof for wearing gloves  

They were my dad’s old cricket gloves. Them from the 60s with knobbly spikes on the back cos the tightarse wouldn’t buy me proper keepers gloves

[Dr. Feelgood]

Day-Glo fckg boots.

That's all.

Nay laddie. Not foam, it's bile. Surely even you orange warrior types are over all of that virtue signalling bollocks by now?

Not even 2,000 miles matey. Watching the Euro's in a much better time zone.

Only 'thought'? I would have said 'deduced'.

You should be a detective. Picking up on impossibly vague clues like "My (still EU) UK passport was stamped crossing into Gibraltar yesterday". Does the CID know about you?

You S & M types need to stop fantasising about blokes in chainmail. It's not healthy but rainbow tendencies must be hard to shake.

I will be back in Gib for an event on the glorious 12th. No chainmail, junk mail or e-mail.

Meant to add, bumped into a fellow Wanderer from the Chorley area is some random supermarket the other day. He commented (favourably) on the BWFC tatt. Apparently "a good mate of Matty off Wanderersways" . There's more than one I think?
