Orange Boots

Post by God is an Englishman »

I think these should be banned. In fact all boots not black should be banned. A little bit of colour should be allowed but the blacker the better.

I think if you wear a rediculous colour pair of boots the first tackle of the game on you should be free of cards.

I like your thinking.

Maybe now with sock tape having to match your socks, you should have to have boots to match your socks as well?

Might be easier to just change clubs? GIAE, any expert advice on that?

Re: Orange Boots

in my case it was pretty simple. A few clubs rang me when they realised I was looking. I went to their training and made the decision to join one of them.

I then signed the forms and a week later enjoyed my first game in my new clubs shirt and didn't look back.

The most enjoyable part is when you get to play against your old club :D

Spot on, divers should get the same, refs should carry a couple of pink head bands so any players deemed to dive instead of giving them a yellow card they have to wear the pink head band until tackled, that tackle will be exempt from any free kicks or cautions, in fact if you stretcher someone wearing a pink head band you guarentee yourself to be in the best players that day.
The head band is given back to the red after the wearer has been tackled once, so teams don't want to waste the opportunity to fix up a diver.

With comments like this I would like to see you get free lunches and trips round the world and large bribes in your position as the head of FIFA.

You must be looking at a TV rather than a mirror.

The photo from the cougars game is not very flattering.

He didn't get my good side, I've told him to only photograph the right. Anyway, my mum says I look very handsome in that photo, are you calling my mum a liar?

I wouldn't say she is a liar but they do say that love is blind.
