Truth joke!

Jed

He's already rolling the shorts up 😆

Klaus

Why does he have an oversized band aid on both sides of his thigh?

est

😆 That's kinesiology-tape, Klausie.

I've often wondered why more of our players don't use it. Helps with all sorts of muscle and ligament problems.

Personally, I think it is as ridiculous as that nose tape which was supposed to improve your stamina. I am yet to see any sort of real evidence that this tape has any sort of impact other than as a placebo. Please feel free to point me to some proper studies which can conclusively point to me being wrong on this.

Big Willie

What about that gel Vieira and the guys used to use on their chests that looked like they'd dribbled onto their shirts. That was always weird to me lol.

Patters

Thought Vieira's was something like Vicks and Fowler's nasal strip is all attempts to ease breathing. Not sure about Alexis plasters but hope bruce forsythe's on top of all these weird fitness cures.

Big Willie

Thought so too (that it was Vicks) at first but that'd only help clear your nasal passage and help with breathing. Used to be claimed back then that it did increase stamina. Which may be possible if these guys have chronically blocked noses and find it hard to get enough oxygen. Probably similar reason for Fowler's nose strip.

Rex

All of these things are just bogus; it's basically horse placenta all over again. It is going to take some serious data to convince me that tape on the skin is going to do jack all when deep muscles are activated. Having said that, if a player BELIEVES that stuff helps, and it doesn't do harm, then you should indulge them IMO. Anything that helps confidence is good, right?

Ray

I used to think that was snot on Vieira's shirt. To stop opponents getting near him.

Irishgunner

Ive used the kinesiology tape before, had team phyios put it on before matches. Can't say I've ever noticed a real difference.

Sirius

TIL what that goop was.

Segway

tazmania

Tony Montana
