Snoods Banned!

The International FA Board (IFAB), confirmed today that players will no longer be allowed to wear snoods. They have banned snoods on safety grounds with immediate effect. The neck-warmers had already been outlawed by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and several other clubs (including Leeds United). FIFA believe snoods posed a safety risk if opponents grab them when players are running at speed. FIFA president Sepp Blatter: "It can also be dangerous, it can be like to hang somebody. "I was a football player in winter and summer and have never worn that and we must also pay attention to the law that says what the equipment is."
