Head Protectors for Goalkeepers?

[RED Tezza]

Heard this being debated on Sly this morning and almost choked on my cornflakes, when it was suggested that maybe goalkeepers and players should wear specially designed head gear to protect them from serious injury as suffered by Cech at the weekend.

 

they asked opinion of a couple former players what they thought and both Cascarino and Wilson said it'd be a joke (paraphrasing slightly) to have head gear being worn by players and keepers.

 

personally i'm getting a bit feg up of the ruination of the beautiful game by the media. just because a chelsea player gets injured would ths outcry have occurred if not for the inane ramblings of a mad man?

 

I blame shit coat for all this bollox

Jens Lehman was first to compain after being impeded by his helmet.

A disturbing look at the future of football ;)

[Guest Jay W]

What a load of bollox, even some rugby players don't wear headgear...

 

Pathetic...most lads laugh their bollox off at being knocked out anyways, well, I did..

This all stems from Mourinho being a big tart.

 

Would be Hilarios if Barce knock in four or five tonight.

Yes, most Hilarios.

Has anyone heard Mourinho the toad, going on about the ambulance? He reckons it took 30 mins to get there were as the Ambulance service confirm that it took 7 mins to get there! How can he argue that, he's a twat, I want him dead!

And only one forward pass per play. Players like Hamann, butch Wilkins and Jamie Redknapp would come into their own. David Batty would come out of retirement and win the MVP in his first season.

In Norway there is a goalie playing for JAR's old club Aalesund Adin Brown from USA that wears some type of "helmet" for some insurance reasons. He's supposedly had a lot of concussions earlier in his career.

No offence to the guy, but he looks like his brain may have liquidized and leaked out his ear over the years.

From the looks of that picture, he's wearing the head gear that was being promoted this morning by a representative of the company who was doing a hard sell by saying they use it in parts of Europe and the US. mainly the US so no surpise there :whistle:

Stu Monty?

I don't doubt it.

 

For me, this is just the latest crock of shit media knee-jerk reactionary bollocks. Unless Blatter owns shares in a headguard company, this sorry tale will soon become the chip papers that are so clearly it's destiny.

 

What happened to Cech is bad luck but it's not like it happens every week is it?

Ashley Cole is not a big fan of the new helmet laws.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Cudicini, the big baby, is complaining about the lack of protection given to 'keepers in the Premiership. IMO they are given too MUCH protection. Everytime a forward challenges the goalie, he is penalised. You get fuckwits like Lehmann whining at any player having the audacity to challenge him for the ball, but the ball is there to be won, the 'keeper does not have an automatic right to the ball.

Goalies are big girls blouses who need to toughen up and stop crying about getting hurt once in a while.

I heard he's tasted, errrrr... tested out a helmet or two in his time.

You bastard.

 

Looks like a new Will Ferrell film that we've not been told about yet if you ask me.

Eh? Why would you run an off tackle run to the left side against the Raven who have a strong front 7. Play action pass to freeze the LB's. fullback picks up corner blitz or audiabalize a draw play:

 

 

Blue Red 33, Mongo Mongo 47-deep 'touch the ears', 'touch the ears', HUT HUT HUTTTTT.

 

0-6 Crouch 34 yd run,

0-7 Reina convert

I'd go for a shotgun.

*Riise, Finnan, Gonzalez and Pennant all sprint to the opposition goal-line for a long pass*
