Didn't realise we were down to ten men last night....

When the cobblers scored their second.

Because Mutch had put white tape on his socks instead of blue.....FFS
And was changing the tape to blue while Northampton scored.

What's this world coming to :old:

I'd been there before last night but it didn't seem as much of a shithole as it did last night, :ayatollah:

Might have just been a very picky referee. I've seen players wear white tape on blue socks loads of times :roll:

Yeah, even in Lazarou League they've made this the rule. It's awkward for us because we have very unique socks! Not sure we can find tape to match it! Seems a pointless rule unless someone can educate me on the reason it has been brought in?

the reason we were given before our game monday was because if your tape was the same colour as your opponents socks it can confuse the officals when there making an offside decision therefore it would be easier if all players tape matched there own socks

If you are looking through a stack of legs from 40 yards away then yes it's a big help. Especially with the amount of players who cheat & claim for everything these days.
