Wearing of blades

[Seagull over NZ]

Heard a rumour that the FA is close to bannign the use of blades rather than studs or moulded boots due to the number of injuries to ankles and feet that have involved blades. Anyone else heard about this at all?

Yep, when El-Abd was cut by one against Millwall in the JPT the club sent graphic pictures to the FA as part of a campaign to get them banned.

 

[Rookie]

got a pair but still think they should be banned, don't give the balance of studs and can prove to be dangerous as El-Abd injury showed.

Was it blades that caused the horrible cut to James Vaughan?
