Chewing gum

[Martino Robertez]

Noticed a few players again today (notably Ross) chomping away on chewing gum during the match.

How is that allowed in these days if mega-insurance polices for players? How is it not a highly dangerous choke hazard for players who end up falling and diving all over the pitch ever few minutes.

Players from other teams so it as well, is there supposed to be some sort of a tactical advance gained from Hubba Bubba?
Does Spearmimt make you run faster than Juicyfruit or something?

We used to get a bollocking at school for that sort of thing, why is it allowed at a professional club?

I really could not care less.

I'm not bothered about how slack-jawed and uncivilied it makes us look (though that would be a consideration for some)

For me it's the choke hazard. In these times if health and safety regulations how can entering a field where you get knocked on your back, winded and otherwise thrown about, with a readymade neck plug in your mouth, be allowed?

MADNESS!

Far more of a choking hazard under the man in your avatar than it is now.

IT'S AN OUTAGE.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

WITH THE ANGLES NOW.

Dirty habit . Should be like the old days ,sparking up after every goal and necking a couple of pints of Black and Tan (with rum chasers) at half time. Proper mans game, not like this effete gum chewing lot.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

vile stuff

should be banned altogether not just from footy pitches.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Depends on the flavour really.

I don't mind them bringing it onto the pitch.

They can keep it in a little pocket sewn into their shorts or ask Joel if he wouldn't mind looking after it along with his cap and towel.

Arrrr juicy fruit

 

[mmmmsnouts]

If they can chew on a used piece of gum for 45 minutes plus stoppage time they're better than me. I toss it out straight away.

I like chewing gum.
