Tommsith here

I just wonder is the current craze of soom Gaa players wearing White and sometimes yellow boots in Gaa games making a fashion statement or what.
I do know that when Cavan won the All Ireland away over in New York in 1947, ( by beating County Kerry yes County Kerry) that if you wore anything other that the good old fashioned football boot laced up to you ankles.
Agh I just dont know where it will end , cycling shorts, tattoos, bars in the eye brows, ear studs/ear rings ough what next

Its crazy stuff Tom isn't it.
If I had my way, jerseys would still be that wooly material which weighed a tonne when wet, EVERY player has to wear black boots ONLY.
I know you well enough by now Tom to know that a Cavan man climbing the steps of the Hogan Stand to lift Sam Maguire would be met with "would you look at those white boots on him" from your good self. It'd be a pyrrhic victory to you.

Jesus, Tom I wouldn't stop there, I'd make the jerseys out of oul flour bags, bring back the pig's bladder for the ball and graze cows on the field right up to the throw in.

Tom do you find your trolling posts funny?
Serious Question.
It shows how **** the forum is when this has been allowed for so long

To answer question. who cares what boots a player wears as long as theyre legal

Can TomSmith speak English. He has bad grammar. It should be- Are these White and Yellow Gaa boots. Anyway do Cavan players wear them?

With respect TomSmith to use your "lingo": It does be 2023, it does not bee 1947"

Who bought Tom from Caaavan the colour TV or how did he know players wore coloured boots?

I preferred when all players wore black boots which isn't that long ago, maybe late 2000s. Those colourful boots look childish to me.

Also I don't like the socks players wear nowadays but I understand why they changed them.

As Killingfields says, who cares as long as they are legal and aslong as they don't affect the players performance. Just a bit of banter Tom, please don't be too upset.
