'Powder puff' snood wearers?

[Trig]

Alex Ferguson thinks we are cissies! REAL MEN DON'T WEAR SNOODS

Should the fell running Buff/Snood wearer be concerned?

Snoods - the beloved neck warmers of precious and pampered footballers - have been banned by the International FA Board
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson quoted: "Real men don't wear snoods."
And writing on Twitter, United defender Rio Ferdinand said: "U won't see a Man Utd player wearing a snood."

I am proud of my Noonstone buff and would invite Rio and Alex to join us at Mankinholes for next year's race - thats if they're not too cissie......

My noses drips like a tap when I'm running - the buff soaks this up like a sponge - does get a bit clammy round the neck tho

Top notch observation. I agree!

Might be an opportunity to develop a new line of "REAL MAN" logo-ed buffs - no publicity is bad publicity

Edale 2007. On the run out up Ringing Roger my hat was ripped off my head by the rather strong wind.

Thankfully I had a Buff in the bum bag and was able to at least engineer face protection from the driving snow and hail.

Wouldn't have finished without out it.

Not sure what the 80 plus who did retire were wearing. Might have been a few Buffs amongst them. :wink:

Footballers and powder puff in the same sentence; can't think why? :wink:

No sane person listens to Bacon Face. And there's a big difference between a football stadium and the top of a mountain in the snow, wind or rain...

Although I do remember travelling to watch Northwich Victoria play at Blyth Spartons in 1980's - ice, snow and wind striaght off the North Sea - no roof - brrrrrrr

Exactly the same thing happened to me Morgan, hat blew away on Ringing Roger. Thankfully my windproof coat had a hood on it otherwise my race would have been over. What a day that was, unforgettable :w00t:
