earpiece instructions

"At first you feel it but after a few minutes you hardly notice that
it's there. And no, the coach doesn't tell me which way I have to
dive"

- Genk goalkeeper Jan Moons explains how he's using an earpiece
to receive instructions from the bench.
BLIMEY!!!!!

is this legal? has anyone else heard of this before?

i dont know what to think, surely that gives the team an unfair advantage over their competition!

if its o.k. for keepers to do it, will ALL the players soon be wearing one?

what does everyone think? good idea, bad idea?

I've never heard this before..

Doesn't sound very fair though?

Well, it works in American Football! 'Cept they wear helmets.

Load of bollocks really - can you imagine Wenger going to Mad Jens 'Ok, dive to the left now, no no no, dive to the right, no, er, left' .... and then they score.

i don't like the sound of that at all. imagine giving instructions to henry, it woudln't be the same. stupid idea and i hope it doesn't become something common.

Jan Moons actually had a walkie-talkie in his keepersbag in goal.
He was known for talking into his keepersbag!
Now we now why! :wink:

ridiculous.

it would be too easy to bork a player, put them off...nope, ****e idea.

players are there for their own ability to read the play, not the managers point of view.

 

[Jinn]

Don't like it at all.

Turns the game into a game of chess instead of having players make their own decisions.

 

[Natnat]

and when you talk the otherplayer will counter move .
silly should be made not legal
