    Do these 'men' have some sort of skin condition that requires them to wear gloves? I can probably understand the recent cold spell but the rest of it is a joke1

    It does make sense, your body loses heat most from your head, hands and feet, not your arms.

    Unless your hands are part of your forearm, it makes perfect sense.

    The body loses most heat through the head, you should be wearing a hat as well. You may as well go the whole hog and wear a balaclava and a scarf

    Something I have never understood is how good African or Brazillian players are able to maintain their standard playing in away CL games in fcuking Donetsk in October. Surely it should be too big of a shock to the system?

    The one true glove. All other gloves should be banned.

    might be worth lookin into fingerless (well finger-tip-less) gloves that they've got in rugby these days. They look quite good.
