Messis boots are actually custom F30s with a leather upper.

Messi does where f30s cause they are lighter than f50s and they are not as much of a hassle. he sponsors the f50s though.

Tracedogg - I would suggest that your rabid response to this article merely backs up Andy’s point. The non participation by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is more about politics and ‘chips on shoulders’ than it is about sport.

Surely you agree that exposing young Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish players to an experience that is the Olympics would only improve their prospects later in their careers.

As for this article being anti Celtish, I think you are reading far too much in to it. It’s certainly having a go at the administrators but as for having a pop at the nations as a whole….I don’t think so.

yeah messi wears specially made F30s

and the article is a disgrace, as usual typical english ignorance and thinking you are superior to everyone, none of the other countrys like you you bunch of idiots.

‘the Celts can rest easy that they’ve ‘won the day’ and that the Olympic ideal won’t impact on their introverted little lives’

introverted lives?… sorry but english people are clueless about scotland wales and ireland, they are completely ignorant to any country other than their own

dont think ive listened to a game commentated by john motson that he hasn’t mentioned 1966.

Ze Roberto for bayern wore the F30s a few years back. My bros got a bayern calender and on the ze roberto photo you can see the F30 print on the sole of the shoe (sorry cant find a photo) so maybe messi is actually wearing the F30s not F50s with blades

Boot sniper,

I expected much better from a website based on boots. To think that Messi (one of the best players on earth) would actually wear the lesser model of the Tunit line is rediculous. If you open your eyes you can clearly tell that they are specially made F50s wih a molded blade plate.

and there not f30I there the f50;s but in blades because the differance between them is f50 is a stronger and tougher material so its the F50 in blades

Great article as usual!

I had no idea Setanta were in so much bother!

I wonder where the right’s would go if they went under - Sky’s the obvious choice but would the monopoly commision have to prevent that move?

Hey John - 2 things on that:

1)He still kissed it, spur of the moment or not.

2)If his boot did fall off, perhaps they need to look at the lacing!

Either way, I think this is a fun piece and very tongue in cheek.

“Setanta think that Steve McManaman is a top pundit”.

Agree with your comment about McManaman.

I’ve watched games on Setanta and cringe when we’re expected to listen to his so called ‘expert’ opinion.

I say bring back Big Ron Atkinson!
