I played upfront, the @#%&!s used to get away with murder at corners

remember once going in a 50/50 and leaving my foot in on a particular @#%&! of a keeper, he was £#%&!ing livid

instructed the monster centre half to batter me, he hit me once and I decided it was better to stay down because if I got up he might hit me again

i see nobody has got the sarcasm in your post after getting these truly horrible and ineffective gloves
the keepers union (© grimson) understand

Excuse me TNWRA. They were £50 and there was no £#%&!ing sarcasm in it! Id never dare wear them in a game but they will do me right for training!

They are also Stiff finger which im not a fan of but i just couldn't resist.

Most importantly they are a bit shit compared to my match gloves, and secondly its a bit like a striker wearing pink boots, best not to draw too much attention to yourself!

what level are you playing at roggers?

Fair do's. Don't seem too garish tbh. Didn't realise they went much past 50 quid for some gloves, what do top of the range cost then?

Nothing major, amatuer.

Played AUL in dublin for a few years, Playing MDL now closer to home.

Got in the first team squad for dundalk when i was 16 on the bench a few times. Not sure if thast was due to my ability or the fact they had no money left and were t#@&%! the £#%&! out of the wage bill!

they look like those flimsy sports world ones
no wrist protection there at all

i much prefer selsport/sells/uhlsport
ho are okay too

you can go anything up to £100/150.

I used to buy uhlsport all the time, ranging between £90/100.

Was given a pair of "ho soccer" ones a few years back to try out.

Wore them and had the game of my life. Never looked back since! They only cost £50 but the wear and tear on them is poor enough, for every two pair of them id go through id only go through one pair of sells/uhlsport so its much of a muchness really.

Just love the "ho soccer" at the min.

Thats exactly what i thought till i opened the pack. They are actually the real £#%&!ing deal. They wont be a patch on sells, ho, uhlsports etc etc but i only bought them for £#%&!ing about in training tbh. I ripped my training gloves last thurs and then ripped my match gloves on sunday!! needed new training ones and new match ones so these will do for training!
