Keep the beard or kill the beard?

I take it from your user name that you would favour a tache ?

Personally I couldn't give a flying one about any given player's face furniture - unless it was affecting their performance of course. But unless Vine kept growing his beard to the extent he was tripping over it I don't see how that could be an issue. You could argue that it creates extra drag but then again he could probably hide an extra ball in it or something as well.

Birmingham City paid Ģ3m for this beard. QPR later paid Ģ1m for the same beard.

Solution is simple, keep the beard - lose the player.

Collins and McPake need to grow hair as they look like thugs or Handling has to lay off the highlights. Ridiculous thread

There once was a player named Vine.

They said, 'shave your face, cause your beards a disgrace'.

Now he's down in Conference South doing fine.

Good shout there. Spot on.

Bootom line: players should care about their appearance - IMO at least 1/3 of time spent at East Mains should be devoted to instruction on personal grooming and hygiene.

Look right, feel right, play right. FACT.

Whether or not he is fit, the ****gy beard makes him look like something out of CAMRA, not generally known for their athleticism.

His foot co-ordination is tragic.
Not sure that the beard is not to blame.

I met him after the game in Malmo and nice bloke as he is, I only half joke when I say I couldn't get that bad ******* from This Is England 86 out of my head (I know I have said this before, but it plagues me).

A couple of really good points amongst the nonsense about this not being an issue. It's no wonder this club's falling apart. There's no point in having a couple of 15-page threads every year about what the players will be wearing if they can't pull their weight too in the appearance department.

Stevenson needs to lose the stubble, it doesn't suit his baby-face and really isn't becoming of a Hibernian player. :bitchy:

How about a goals related beard?

0 goals = no beard

1-5 goals = goatee

6-10 goals = full beard kept short

11-15 goals = big bushy beard

15+ goals = zz top beard

Nae beards .............. The only athletes who should have them are Shot Putters and Discus throwers.

Nae shirt outside of shorts ......... unless you are George Best or the brilliant Matthew Le Tissier.

Nae coloured boots .......... unless you are Messi, Ronaldo or Robin Van Persie.

I've noticed a few of our players recently with all of the above when they run out onto the pitch. Time for them to bloody well smarten up.

Hibs once got a player from Perth
Because of a goalscoring dearth
A man with no pace
Of goals not a trace
So he grew a big beard
To hide his red face

Despite this un-serious thread I was going to comment on a potential link between his beard and the game, that perhaps it slows him down?

It could be the difference between getting the ball in a tackle and getting a yellow card. :offski:

We have semi-regular racism, homophobia and misogyny on here. Personally, I think classing some light-hearted chat about a player's magnificent facial furniture as 'pathetic bullying' is a bit OTT. It's no more bullying than commenting on a player wearing gloves or a player's hairstyle.

Unless I've missed some particularly horrendous post...
