No gloves 😎

I’ve often wondered whether modern goalkeepers gloves are sometimes more of a hindrance than a help , particularly when it comes to catching the ball .

As I remember it , when they first started to be used on a regular basis , they were of the type referred to at the time as ‘driving gloves’ which had a soft leather palm and aerated fabric backing . I can see that being an advantage over bare hands but as for the latest breed which look more like the things a wicketkeeper would wear, I’m not so sure .

Something for Rammers and his coach to think about ? :)

Throughout my sporting life I had spells playing in goal, (offered terms at Newcastle as a lad but preferred playing out) & never wore gloves, until after a good few years I had a spell keeping in the early 2000's & found that the modern day gloves were a revelation, I found them to be superb, in fact when I see pro 'keepers spill one or punch instead of catch, it is a real head scratch moment because everything just sticks to them, they really are brilliant.

Played in goal for school when ten and eleven, found gloves ,woollen in those days, good on wet, greasy footballs (see the sidestep there avoiding a slip up with my balls 😊) better grip but soon got wet so grip was lost.
I look on the modern gloves like the webbing between thumb and forefinger of wicketkeepers gloves, a bit of cheating going on there.
Regards Ramsdale, its the link between his brain and his feet I feel is the main problem.

Big surprise there , soggy woollen gloves giving poor grip . :)

Did you ever try the type I referred to or did you just lose your balls completely ?
