Seems the same as the one @Roo posted but from a better angle and it looks like the stitching around the cockerel hasn’t been done by Stevie Wonder. Simple yet stylish. I like it.
Here's the full image, to save people a click or two: please log in to view this image As someone pointed out, the shorts and socks probably aren't part of the kit, but are just generic Nike ones. Also, Barca are going for a Croatian tablecloth look.
VAR has given penalties when they weren't penalties,in my mind......and why so many operators and screens?.....and how much is it costing?
The Prem are not going to adopt VAR for goalkeeping infringements with penalties, they are going to leave it to the ref, common sense at last.
Strictly the rule has been made looser I think - didn't it used to require you to have both feet on the line? Agreed about not booking the goalkeeper though.
I had a feeling this would be the design. Gotta say, the collar looks a lot better that I thought it would. Like @bigsmithy9 says, Shame about the red! But we know we’re stuck with that, sadly. I’ve seen some other “leaked kits recently”. Obviously another fake, but this could well be the design. And this could be the training kit to go with it...
They should change the rule on run-ups now, as the players are just taking the piss and the refs don't know what to do. Make the taker have a smooth, unstuttered run and then feel free to say that the keeper has to be level with the goalline. Not touching it, but you're not allowed in front of it. Then it's all fair and not reliant on dubious officials, a la Son's disallowed one.
This away kit won’t stop doing the rounds either: I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure we wore VERY similar training jackets in the tunnel before the champions league final. The badge appeared to be iridescent, just like this new kit. - and coincidentally enough, the design of this kit is just like the new home shirt we’ve seen. Same sleeves, same collar.
Isolated from VAR, I agree, it is. The problem is that VAR is making a nonsense of things. Like intentional handball and describing elephants to someone who's never seen one, it may be difficult to put into words but if you watch enough football, you'll know when you see a keeper gain an advantage from leaving his line. You know when transgression of those laws has occurred and needs to be punished. The keeper being proved to be a centimetre over the line isn't a realistic or appropriate test. Unfortunately, in trying to achieve certainty, the balance of common sense is being totally removed. Football fans need to rail against this nonsense, not accept it as a given.
These seem to be the two picking up the most traction. Have to say I like both of them, a lot. The kits this season were far too complicated for me. Simple n smart is the way to go.
About the shirts......has anyone ever asked the fans to send the makers their interpretation of a Spurs shirt by their own drawing? I can't draw myself but......
