I hear people like that at most games... Recently I was sat behind a 'family/group' at Grimsby giving the Assistant Referee quite a bit of 'verbal' at each corner because the ball was outside of the quadrant at the corner, when we all know that the ball only has to be 'over' the line, it doesn't have to be actually touching it. It couldn't have been anyone on here could it? Because everyone on here knows all of the Laws, don't they? We should have an obscure law of the week. To that end what can every player in the team wear bar one player and why?

A complete set of his own team's colour's apart from the GK who has to be separately identifiable because of the unique laws applying to him.

That as well, but not the example I was on about. Excluding shirt colours?

That one has stumped me? Either an obvious or obscure one but I assume that the one player is the keeper? Even keepers can wear spectacles. Regarding having an obscure Law of the week, we normally have at least one provided by our games each week anyway.

Regarding having an obscure Law of the week, we normally have at least one provided by our games each week anyway. I was told that keepers can’t wear short sleeve shirts or are allowed to roll their sleeves up. This is so the referee can more readily identify a handball in a crowded penalty area. I thought you’d get it, so I have an uneasy feeling you’re going to tell me it’s bóllocks:

Yes, it is bollox as demonstrated by a number of goalkeepers around the world. Still doesn't look right to me but it is allowed.

Appere was quite good on Saturday but I’d say he’d be the one to make way for Leonard or Fox initially. I’d then be bringing him off the bench and challenging him to compete with the front three of Hoskins, Hylton and Pinnock for a starting place. What we want is genuine competition for places and some genuine game-changing attacking options off the bench (neither of which we had last year).
I’d keep Magloire at centre back and challenge him to keep Shearing out of the team. Lintott was decent and showed the virtues of playing round pegs in round holes at full back.
I think there is little doubt we will end up playing 3 at the back when players are fit . Neither Guthrie or Magloire are comfortable on the ball but Sherring is . Magowan and Koiki will be wing backs . We will then play 2 up front in the true sense .

If that was the case I think it would be Hoskins as right wing back.

They can, as long as they are under the shorts/socks and the same colour as the main/lower colour of the shorts.

Back in the 70/80's did not some players wear tights during some cold spells? Pretty sure no Cobblers player ever succumbed to this type of apparel. Can also remember some Keepers wearing some form of tracksuit bottoms.

I remember watching Keith Weller at Filbert Street when he wore white tights. Many keepers have and there's a few who still do today.

From the internet;
After a bit of a dig around it would seem that long sleeves on a goalkeeper were never actually 'compulsory' or part of some written law. Rather, it appears that the only law referring to goalkeepers in this way refers to them wearing a different coloured jersey to the outfield players.

I also felt that summer recruitment pointed to three at the back with three central midfielders in a 5-3-2. Again, the three could be McWilliams, Sowerby and Leonard/Fox. However, the big issue with that is how Brady would accommodate Pinnock and Hoskins in a 5-3-2. Pinnock doesn't really work as a no.10. Hoskins can do a job as a wing-back but it isn't his best position and Magowan is obviously much better defensively.

It's a strange one this, because we were told dating back to our school days that keepers had to wear long sleeves. A lad (part time referee) I later worked with told me that keepers could wear short sleeves but were required to wear gloves when doing so. I accept that keepers nearly always wear gloves these days, but do you know if the sleeve/glove thing is correct?

We used to have keepers jerseys long sleeved with padding on the elbows and chest without gloves. It's never been a requirement either way. They only have to be distinguishable from their own team, the opposition and the officials. They should also be distinguishable from the other keeper but that isn't part of the Law.

Ok, cheers. Seems a bit weird really, especially in these times where the majority of players opt for short sleeves. Doesn't really assist the ref when a half-dozen bodies are colliding in the box.

Neville Southall, (and probably others), did that his own way. I was specifically meaning tracky bottoms instead of shorts for outfield players, like some of the keepers used to wear. Wasn't meaning the lycra/tight ensemble worn under shorts like Deller seemed to start.
