well a whole debate has now started at work, because we've found conflicting evidence, but apparantely...... a GK is not allowed to roll his sleeves up.... it's something to do with being able to distinguish between players when for example a keeper is going for a punch from a corner. makes sense, but barthez always used to wear short sleeves, so I'm not sure where that all fits in.... very annoying
It was a rule many years ago that goalkeepers could not wear short sleeve shirts but as far as i'm aware it was lifted allowing the likes of barthez to start wearing them. There are many daft rules regarding goalkeepers, i know because i used to play in goal - but as for knowing which one is a bookable offence i couldnt say as i was never booked in the 12 years i played sunday league football (only 10 of those were spent in goal though) 0:-)
