Buff Ban?
Of dear the football premiership has banned the wearing of snoods (buffs to you and me) I do hope orienteering doesn't follow suit - I've actually thought them a great sartorial asset to the sport - when suitably colour co-ordinated - I mean why else would any one go to the oringen but to ick up their free sveasgog buff?

That's ridiculous. It's just like wearing gloves. Or tights for the goalie.

Re: Buff Ban?
Anyone who has played footie at any level (including Sunday Pub XI knows the you and the oppo will try anything to gain an advantage (eg standing on foot or grabbing shorts to prevent jumping at corners - goalies deliberately punching ears or bring knee in to contact with - ahem - lower midrift of centre forwards etc) and so it was only matter of time before a serious injury occured when someone hooked their arm in to the neckband of a rapidly passing snood (remember Crouch's "assist" when he levered himself above a Jamaican defender by pulling on his dreadkocks). Its purely a matter of safety.
Perhaps O should be wary - I wouldn't want to have a branch get tangled in a snood - its bad enough having your beanie continually knicked when mapping in slow run/walk.

I'd never thought of nicking your hat - till you made me think of it!! You'd better guard it with your life now!

Perfectly legal in the NFL - if they don't tuck their hair in their helmets it's fair game.

I used to have very long hair which would I tie into a ponytail for football & (more occasionally) rugby...until the time when, at full speed and having just sidestepped my opposite number, I was tackled by the ponytail. Very painful.
To add insult to injury I was then promptly sent off - it being rugby I'm still not sure if it was for my ungentlemanly language or for punching the tackler in the face

Re: Buff Ban?
It will have been for the language - punching a tackler was never a sending off offence in the days when you and I were young enough to play rugby
Mind you having a pony tail on a rugby pitch was undoubtedly asking for trouble, promise me you didn't have an alice band too?
