Initially made famous by a contingent of Manchester City players, including forward Carlos Tevez, snoods have become popular across the country and in all forms of the game.

But Tevez and company will now have do without the popular fashion accessory.

"The IFAB agreed that in relation to Law 4 - Players' Equipment, the wearing of snoods should not be permitted," said football's law makers.

I don't understand why snoods/gloves or any other clothing which doesn't impact on the team strip should be banned?? It doesn't alter the game

Well if the unpaid guys who played on my local pitch in the snow can play with just shorts and top, so can these so called mega stars.

If they don't like it quit, and let those talented players who cannot get a break may get a chance.

It still doesn't impact on the game and previous to this the unpaid guys could have worn them as well.. So your point isn't really any point at all

Sorry but what does that have to do with how they play the game? If they want to warm themselves up then who cares, there is nothing clever about 'toughing' out cold weather if you have the means to stay warm.

When i played the game i always wanted to remove articles of clothing to cool down!not warm me up? whats wrong with these so called pro footballers,they should try getting into the game a bit more instead of standing about like dummies! or they could try playing rugby! see how much warmer they want to be then!

So players should expend energy keeping warm than playing the game???
