FIFA and Rules/Regulation.

[Ashley]

FIFA have introduced a Rule/Regulation where if a player is wearing tape on his/her socks the tape has to be the same colour as the sock how pathetic.

Why? What's the reason?

Why? What's the reason?

I don't know. Trying to find out how pathetic though. I wonderd why Leicester had been wearing a light blue tape with our socks

[Petchy]

I noticed this happened in Europe last season, but was quite happy we didn't have it in England. Looks like it's caught up with us now... so stupid.

[leicesterisme]

That's what they spend their time discussing, issues like this. Absolutely pathetic.

[Corky]

These are the important issues that need resolving.

Next, they should sort the rankings out to give us our rightful position, whatever that is.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

So it's like the rule enacted that stops under armour being a different colour to the kit, it's just to make the players' kit colours unambiguous in case the referee or linesman has to tell which side got the final touch in a crowded area.

[Bert]

Don't they wear the light blue socks, cut the football socks and tape them so they don't have the full football sock on if you get me?

[Petchy]

I know that last year they cut the socks just above the ankle, wore normal white socks underneath then taped the two together where they overlapped. I guess they'll do the same this year but with coloured socks and tape. Just a bit silly really!

Probably health and safety
