Ankle socks?? waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/05/2017 11:15:45 1991761 Link 0 |

I am quite sure I saw some of the more dedicated followers of fashion within our adult teams wearing these at training over the last few seasons so don't think they are some new fad. I have never seen them been worn on the field of play before and if I was in charge of a team the player wouldn't be stepping outside the changing room door with them on match day until they are replaced and he'd be getting a kick on the arse for good measure.

Very strange look to be fair. I would of thought the boot would of cut into his ankle with no sock to protect his ankle. Anyway if he was comfortable that's all that matters I suppose The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 29/05/2017 11:42:06 1991769 Link 0 |

Yeah he shouldn't be wearing them. No male should wear ankle socks. I don't know what happened, but im sure ankle socks started off as a female item of clothing. But everywhere you go now you see teenage young lads wearing ankle socks. I don't get it. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 29/05/2017 11:58:22 1991775 Link 0 |

It would be a fool that would think they would.

Ankle socks and skinny trousers, tight tops today and then in a few years time as your average male sits in the hospital delivery suite, awaiting to go through childbirth (which thanks to modern advances is now possible in males) scratching his head wondering how did it all come to this.

If he's comfortable with them i see no big deal. But as another poster pointed out you'd imagine they's slip down and the boot would cut the heal. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 29/05/2017 12:51:24 1991795 Link 6 |

I'm a huge fan of Liam Rushe but I thought it looked bad, it completely stood out for what is a team game. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1898 - 29/05/2017 13:08:02 1991798 Link 0 |

I said it before and I'll say it again: the world is gone to the dogs altogether.

You can't be wearing normal socks with shorts in everyday life. Thats ridiculous looking. Not as bad as socks and sandals but still not great. I didn't like the look of what Rushe had on him and I hate when a team isn't coordinated looking. It really irritates me even when a guy wears a different pair of shorts from the rest of the group. While we're broadly on this topic. Lads tanning their legs is something I find really embarrassing. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4210 - 29/05/2017 13:51:31 1991818 Link 0 |

I just think that if you are playing a team sport and there is a team kit then that's what all the panel wear with the only things that should be down to the individual are their boots, gloves/hurls/helmets and whatever way they fancy wearing their hair!

Guys, they are not a fashion statement. Did it ever occur to anybody that perhaps they are a necessity? They may prevent blisters, and it's impossible to get the product as a long, football type sock. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 29/05/2017 14:22:44 1991834 Link 0 |
