How many players did we have today with standard black boots on?
From recollection - we had :
Basey - electric blue
Sam - illuminous yellow
Racon - Red
Llera - Red
Semedo - White
Spring - White
Dickson - Red
I am sure there were more - and that's why we won't win anything this season - we have a team of players more interested in the colour of their boots than playing!
I sound like my dad - but it used to be that only "special" players wore coloured boots and now feckin' rubbish division 3 players are all wearing them!

Having said that, Lloyd Sam's boots look radioactive
Not sad - but reflective of our players caring more about standing out by wearing different boots than standing out by being the best player on the pitch!
Are they good enough to play for us, then fine. Wear what they want.
What next to moan about. Not enough filling in your meat pie.
So what did you think about tonight's game? Or were you taking notes on player's boots?
I thought we were the better of the two teams - though I did think that Ipswich's team was very young and lacked a lot of their "bigger" names. However - you can only beat what is in front of you.
Basey was more accomplished than he has been for a while, but the intensity of the game meant he wasn't exposed. Christian Dailly was pony at West Ham in the premiership - but we ain't West Ham and we ain't in the Premiership, so I'd sign him.
Solly reminds me of Kevin Dickinson from way back when - I like him and think he'll grow into a crowd favourite. Youga did well when he came on - I'm not a big fan of Wade Small.
Spring is tidy but ineffective really, Dickson does himself no favours when he comes on, Burton is the best of a bad bunch - but why we persist in lumping it forward to him is plain daft.
I thought Jonjo had one of his poorer games - lots of running but nothing really happened when he was on the ball. Bailey is wasted wide at the level we will be playing at, Sam was effective but his end product still isn't what it should be - if he hadn't been brought down for the penalty, I think he didn't know what to do with the ball and he would have wasted it.
Racon is a class above, Fleetwood was better than I expected, Elliot will be one of the best keepers in our division, Llera looked equally good one moment and equally poor the next - but we have to give him some time.
I think a real cutting edge up front and some nervous moments at the back will mean we don't run away with the division, but keep the midfield together and we'll win more than we lose - I hope!
Excellent response and no mention of boots at all
Ssssh, keep it a secret, but only last season I turned out in blue boots for the Charlton Life games - and even graced played the Demelza match at The Valley in blue boots.
And d'you know what? Nobody complained.
Not even SupaClive.
;o)
Otherwise I would have
;-)
we are in division 3 ffs not the poncey prem
Or even the poncey East Cornwall or Plymouth & District Leagues .......?

"Shorts don't matter! It's the pumping muscles underneath that matter, the two legs of iron for running around kicking the ball! It doesn't matter if they're blue serge shorts, white cotton shorts, green flannel shorts, monogrammed shorts, hand-stitched shorts, signed shorts, shorts made in Austria or pink shorts that light up at night. They're not important!"
Boots on the other hand (foot?) ....... that's a whole different thing ......isn't it?
In my own playing days, I always found it odd to have to turn out in light-coloured socks. Sadly I was cursed with teams that generally played in yellow socks (yes, I know). Just found it sort of strange to be aware of the lower part of the leg. Might explain why I shinned it so often.
When I rule the world gay boots will be banned
BBBB
Bring Back Black Boots
we wont win as they are too worried about the colour of there boots
get real
On the subject of boots I look at the shape of the boot if i like that and they are black red or white i'll buy but not Green Yellow or Orange or Pink no no no.
I'd get pink boots if I were you, Gay Gordon.
;o)
What about Heelys?
Coloured boots,
a) sign of a player confident in his own ability and you don't care what they wear or
b) sign of a poser more interested in his own appearance and should be banned until performances improve?
Lloyd Sam - have you seen his GREEN effort - they are shocking and so has he been!
Neon Deon Burton - his boots gave him a hernia!
"Pacey" Basey - those boots are slowing him down
Racon - great in the August sunshine and has disappeared since
Our best players this season - Elliot, Dailey, Sodje + Richardson - all wear black boots
:-)
