Spitting on gloves 16:14 - Jun 15 with 2382 views | bluehook | Why the feck do modern day keepers spit on their gloves? Can understand why they did it in the days before the ‘80’s when they didn’t wear gloves, but...... [Post edited 15 Jun 2018 16:16]

Yeah I assumed that as in the pre gloves days, but don’t they have stickability built into modern day gloves? I thought at first that it was force of habit, but modern day keepers always have worn gloves. | | | |

Paula Radcliffe was allowed to take a dump during the London Marathon without reprimand and she won. I'm surprised goalies don't just do the same on the penalty spot to put players off during shoot-outs. | | | |

They made that, but only gave her one. Unfortunately it was that time of month. | | | |

No one spat on their hands pre gloves. I really don't know where you've conjured that memory up from. Wet hands aren't the best thing to have when catching anything. | |

They do, but not so much if they are dry. Bit moisture takes off the dust. | |

No they don’t, they have new gloves sent to them regularly from the product manufacturers. | |
