,and continuing on the Science has proved it theme , from the very fine When Saturday Comes site... This is true, our U13 team failed to score against a keeper in All Red.

Dr Iain Greenlees and Michael Eynon at the University of Chichester looked at the performance and the expectation of success of 40 university footballers against goalkeepers wearing black, blue, green, yellow and red strips. The fewest number of goals were scored against a goalie in red (54 per cent success rate) followed by yellow (69 per cent success rate), then blue and green (72 per cent and 75 per cent respectively). Dr Greenlees said: "These findings lend support to the idea that red clothing could give a sportsperson or team a small but meaningful advantage in a competitive encounter.""
"Dr Boffin from the University of going a bit red in the face, Helsinki said 'More research is needed. We intend to study this in many leagues and tournaments over the next ten years. Can you give us a reseach grant please?'"
In breaking news Velaphi endoresed the idea that goalies stand still. 'It makes it easier to bend down and pick up the ball when Dadi shoots' he said before rolling on the ground in hysterics.
