Wiltshire Saint Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 Not trying to be pendantic but 8 and 9 used to be the strikers (IR and CF), 5 and 6 the Centre Backs and 4 and 10 the Central Midfielders. This is exactly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 28 March, 2009 Share Posted 28 March, 2009 LOL, just in case it goes down that road, bagsie/shotgun number 9!!!!!! I did also mention this in my original email just in case as well, not that I'm obsessed or anything but note my username I'm wondering how Steve's going to wangle himself 7 though! I guess seeing as we're having names done on the shirts there will have to be a name/number list somewhere first. As for the 8/10 supporting striker argument, you can make a case for either, the numbering scheme derived from the W- and then W-M formation and in that the CF was 9, wingers 7 and 11 and Outside left and outside right supporting the CF were 8 and 10. Seeing as no-one played 4-4-2 at that point some teams had 8 and some 10. England's 4-4-2 1966 World Cup Winners had 9 and 10 up front in Charlton and Hurst, Argentina and Brazil have always had 10 as a creative midfielder. For similar reasons Brazil have 4 as a centre back rather than defensive midfielder. Squad numbers would be ok, but 1-11 will be easier to sort.

The9 Posted 28 March, 2009 Share Posted 28 March, 2009 Also, what *is* the deal with "red shorts on the away kit"? Saints wear them, but they don't sell them, and no-one's going to be able to get them - plus it's always bugged me that teams would change shorts anyway... Socks for clarity on rebounds and throw-in decisions, shirts for quick recognition, but why change the shorts when there's a clash, all grey clashes much less with a red/grey/red kit than grey/red/grey does cos there's only one minor colour clashing rather than two, albeit on different bits of the kit?

The kickabout tonight was actually a very fast game, I was seriously surprised that I came through it at all. During the game I had really bad pains in both my lower calfs. When i got to my car, my left leg hurt so much that I had to walk/hobble around the car park for 5 minutes before I could drive home, it really did hurt that much. I know that I am very unfit..
