Roast why don't footballers wear their socks up anymore ?

[Groupie_]

we have the best looking socks in the league, they look like farken tiger stripes. I feel they are an important part of the Richmond uniform that unfortunately has gone the way of the dodo bird because of modern players preference of wearing em down to show off their perfectly waxed legs (unless you're chimp or bachar houli of course)

I thought they would be great for compression reasons in the modern game also ? if not surely puma could use compression material to make socks so we can get a leg up on the competition. wear you're farken socks up so we can see your tiger stripes. we dont look like tigers anymore with the socks down. nobody wants to see men with hairless waxed legs

where u find that

prob only game he wore em down

Nank's left leg for the shin guard is about the only proud sock up we have left in the team. Talls especially shouldn't be getting fancy with the socks down but even they've succumbed to the peer pressure these days. Who will be the brave trailblazer to come out one day with the socks up, take a stand against the modern day f'ery and get everyone back on board?

there were a few things you could take to the bank with KB.

1. Wispy hair sticking out backwards as he accelerated away from the likes of Stan Magro.

2. 29 kicks 1 handball every game as listed in the Sunday Observer and Sunday Press.

3. Average 3 goals and zero point zero goal assists.

4. Fish N Chips the night before the game.

5. Two arms straight up with both hands making fists to celebrate every single goal.

6. Untucked jumper and socks down.

But there was only one KB, the way it should be. Totally agree with you these modern campaigners should pull their socks up to look like Tigers.

His legs too skinny to hold the socks up. Photographic revisionism the only way I can explain any photo where KB has his socks up. I never saw him with his socks up once.

Socks up is only for cats who lurk on the outside of the contest

I had no idea how outraged I am by this!

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Socks are now shorter .

Socks are now shorter .

nah, they have both the shorter and longer old school type available for the players. chimp is wearing the shorter ones and nank is wearing the traditional

I think the last campaigner to wear them up all the time was jacko !

I definitely think the women should be wearing the longer ones

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Boy O Boy it's gonna be very long pre season.
