After reading the discussion on Lillywhites and how their in-store goalkeeper product selection is poor (and generally the same over here for the bigger chains) I was wondering where TGBers brought the bulk of their gloves and other football equipment? With TGB providing so much sizing recommendations and/or advice, do you have a need to try them on before buying? Note that I am not working for any shop nor do I own a shop but it might prove useful information for those that have one! I was also curious as to how many people brought mainly from eBay? Where do you buy MOST of your gloves?

Seems to be a point of discussion at the moment so ... Easy Question. What is your ideal latex thickness?

As well as Arsenal and Manchester United, Aston Villa are also (again!) starting to be linked with a few goalkeepers. Do they need to sign a new goalkeeper and if so who? or do you think the Brads (Friedel and Guzan) should keep their places?

Thinking old school for a little minute ... If you were given a choice, out of all the "old school" brands (and I classify this as anything over 20 years old), which one would you like to see re-release an older looking glove but with newer materials etc. Have included a couple of companies that do not actually exist anymore but you never know .... (For the more obscure ones you can find their old catalogues in the Albums section)

Posted on behalf of Damon. Just wanted to know what everyone's thought's are on internal latex model gloves

Posted on behalf of Damon. What's your views on fixed protection spines or the built in finger protection models?

First of all I want to start this by saying I am not doing "secret" research for a glove company :) I've always been curious .... What makes you buy a particular brand/glove? What is the MAIN reason for buying a certain pair of gloves?

Who do TGBers think has been Germany's best ever goalkeeper? Quite a selection and apologies if I have missed anyone obvious .... only allowed 20 names.

After Englands "goal" was disallowed this morning, I thought it would be an interesting poll ... Should FIFA introduce Goal Technology?

Following on from the topic in the equipment forum, thought it would be good to run a poll as well. Easy question, what is your preferred glove cut?
