The Gasman Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Anyone else find it strange when you see a 'keeper wearing short sleeves?

tweegy Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Was it not the case that it used to be a rule that keepers must wear long sleeved tops to assist referees..? Not sure, they were for a long time only allowed to wear one of four colours. Gordon, Buffon and cassilas excepted, I get the same feeling seeing a keeper in short sleeves as I do with a left footer taking a penalty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyscott82 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Correct, he did this because Gigi Buffon was the man he looked up to most in football. If I remember correctly.I'm sure I read ages ago that he said he felt long sleeves restricted his movement. I could be imagining it though, but possibly to do with his slight build when he was breaking through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiHMFC Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If i was in goals I'd copy the Gabor Kiraly costume, Pair of grey cottons on with the football socks pulled up over the ankles, looks comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Craig Gordon liked wearing short sleeves.............. Iker Casillas too. I remember reading Gordon said he did this because Buffon and Casillas were his goalkeeping idols. Anyway, short sleeves are nothing. I want to see more keepers wearing joggers.

ematsone Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm sure I've read somewhere that if a keeper starts a match with long sleeves he's not allowed to roll them up at any point during the 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Grappelli Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 When San Iker came on as a sub for Madrid at Hampden in 2002 he had to quickly cut the sleeves off his jersey before coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of The Cat Cafe Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Was it not the case that it used to be a rule that keepers must wear long sleeved tops to assist referees..? I think that is a quiz question that does not bear scrutiny. The law has always been that the goalkeeper must wear a shirt of a colour that distinguishes him from both teams and the referee. Does not mention length of sleeves. Anyway, another question: Why do so few goalkeepers have beards? Because have too many close shaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
