llkj wrote:Just looking at some photos online of the Championship games last weekend and I am seriously worried about the future of games in this county. Nothing to do with the conditioning of the players or the amount of spectators at the games, no. This is a much more serious issue with far reaching consequences. The issue I speak of is lads wearing Tennis socks out to play Senior Championship games. Yes, that's right - white sports socks, like your father used to wear with a pair of sandals.
From the pictures I've seen, Edenderry were the big culprits, with at least 5 or 6 of their team sporting the finest from Umbro, Puma and some vintage Wilson's. I thought that maybe they were just wearing them for the warmup at first, but no, from corner back to corner forward, they represented with pride. What do I have against white tennis socks? Well, firstly I think players should wear their club colours. Secondly, I think each team member should wear the same gear as the person they are playing with. Thirdly, this is obviously nothing other than a fashion statement, as the gear is exactly what you see the soccer teams wearing during their training sessions. (check the link below). Finally, my main gripe with this fashion trend, is this - The F%*king state of it - plain and simple.
Let's get a grip here lads and ban white Wilson's from the 2012 Championship. I think the best way to do this is to name and shame. If you are at a game this year and see a player sporting their White Wilson's - take a pic, stick it up here and let's all have a laugh!!!

Aye i take ur point kingscounty, but when Offaly resolved to take on the Dubs in the late seventies one of the first steps that was taken was to have proper matching gear as the Dubs always had, it didnt make u a better player but it encouraged a different mindset, a mindset that said were a team, we dress the same, we are the same. A small difference admittedly but from an acorn becomes an oak.kingscounty wrote:id be more concerned about the standard of club football in offaly rather than worrying about what colour socks a player wears for fuck sake
