Fair enough, I thought it was too close when I saw it on telly.

Have they relaxed or changed the rules on the lenght of the sleeves on goalkeepers shirts? I thoughty they had to be long and not short so the ref could see who had handled the ball in the area.

That's never been a rule, has it?

If memory serves me well Peter Bonnetti was the first English keeper to wear a black top in European games for Chelsea as he said it mingled in with the crowd behind him and was difficult to be seen by the attacking side.

I can never understand why keepers wear bright colours for this very reason. Surely you don't want to be easily picked out by the opposition
