Rebadiah Hongfield Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A Premier League player (Van Aanholt 3) was allowed to play in an FA Cup tie last night with blue socks, white polka dot ankle socks and black tape. Allowed in professional football, but would delay the kick off in SSML. The mind boggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethegreek Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It seems that the sock is cut and is OVER the ankle sock.Tape is dark blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebadiah Hongfield Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is the old cut off football sock allowed over a different coloured ankle sock then? Interesting. I'll have to remember that one. Haha! Another interesting point there though, would navy blue be accepted over sky blue socks as they are both technically blue?

Why someone would cut the bottom of their football sock is beyond me. Just wait for the next installment from FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoldend Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I remember an Enfield Town game at Harrow was delayed for one of our players to change his pants to white ones as he was wearing black Silly rule in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle T Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Under shorts and sock tape rules are very silly. This season in the SSML prem I have seen different colour socks, shorts under shirts and sock tape not matching the team colours. The standard of referees is some what confusing too. I have seen a referee pick up the ball, go and talk to two players 20 yards from the free kick and then let the kick go ahead in completely the wrong place. I could go on and on about this subject.
