FIFA president Sepp Blatter said: ‘A snood is not part of the equipment and it can be dangerous, even like hanging somebody. The decision was unanimous. There was not even a discussion because this is not part of the uniform.
‘I was a player in both winter and summer weather and I never wore a snood. We must pay attention to the laws of the game. It was rejected unanimously not only by the board today but, before, by all the technical staff and by the secretary-generals. It’s a non-issue.’

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said: ‘Ban them? No, it’s cold.’
Bolton boss Owen Coyle added: ‘I don’t have a problem with players wearing them, if that’s what they want to do.’
