newsted Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 When did it become acceptable for goalkeepers to wear short sleeve shirts ? Thought it wasn't cos the ref can't tell whose hand is up in a crowd. Who's got away with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I knew someone would do that Casillas was the one that instantly popped into my head when the question was raised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I knew someone would do that Casillas was the one that instantly popped into my head when the question was raised. Nah, I reckon he probably popularised it along with Barthez and global warning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 When did it become acceptable for goalkeepers to wear short sleeve shirts ? Thought it wasn't cos the ref can't tell whose hand is up in a crowd. Who's got away with it? I was always told that and believed it. Never crossed my mind that keepers rolled their sleeves up all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never crossed my mind that keepers rolled their sleeves up all the time. Maybe I'm immensely gullible then My memory's got it linked to Lionel Perez for some reason and an actual ref saying it. Ah, now I see where I went wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've always done it when playing in goal, right back to when I was playing as a kid. I guess I started it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it wasn't cos the ref can't tell whose hand is up in a crowd. Who's got away with it? That was what I always thought too. I have just seen it more and more and yesterday, I saw a goalkeeper in League 1 with short sleeves and it led me to ask the question. Does that mean that there was never a law after all ?

Robster Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wouldn't the big white glove be a tell tale sign? It should be, but I am becoming less trusting of the officials to spot even the most obvious things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out as our schools GK, no gloves and fuck me the ball stung like you couldn't imagine. Even when we did get gloves, they were the ones with patches that were like tyre treads. When they got wet it was like wearing rubber knickers on your hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Barthez, knew there was a more obvious one! Didn't Barthez go through a phase of cutting the lower sleeves off with scissors at half time? Or am i on acid again. I'm sure he did. Because i can remember a commentator, way back when, saying how it was against the laws of the game for a keeper to have short sleeves.
