Yellow And Black Goal Nets

Does anyone remember a few seasons ago when we had yellow and black goal nets? I think it may have been the first season in the Prem. I thought they were pretty sharp.

Why didn't they stay? Did they break rules? Or did most people apart from me hate them?

Would anyone want them back?

 

The players didn't like them and preferred white nets.

 

I think we should wonder if we need nets in the opposition end at all.

 

As long as they are dolphin friendly I’m easy about it

 

Looked great I thought!

 

Another example of to much player power at the club. Get them out

 

This thread sent me down a rabbit hole about football nets..

Surely we can come up with a colour scheme which makes the goal look bigger?

 

That’s nothing. Who remembers the time in the 70s when we painted the base of our goalposts yellow and black?

 

The stripy nets were too dark and made it harder for our forwards to find the target! When we reverted to white nets Ighalo started scoring again. It was the first Quique season.

 

Wtaf...is that a spoof?

 

"There is something about a tight net that is appealing"

 

No. Did we?

 

Totally agree with all of it. When I started my football journey in the 80s I could normally identify at a glance the country of goal net and in England the club. Such a brilliant innocent joy. Around Euro 96 everything became uniform and the magic was lost.

Article misses a trick by not talking of the magnificent billowing goal nets of USA94.

 

Great link .

There’s something sentimental in looking at those old nets that brings a melancholy tear to an old mans eye .

 

Stanchion is a great word.

 

He was a great player, our Stan.
