Heading is so crucial. Imagine how the crosses and set pieces will become useless

One thing you didn't mention about towel drying the ball, it's only available to the home team! The Football League wanted to reduce home vs away bias is another factor for this rule change

Without heading,it would be difficult for defenders to clear the ball and will help attackers with more tactical plays

Bro had the gloves in Mickey Mouse edition😂

For heading, I feel it depends on the ball. Some outer materials feel harder than others and when properly inflated can feel great for kicking but terrible for heading.

What do you think of the final rule??

Not many people know this, but the main song used in the background of the video was used in my favourite PS2 game of all time, Gran Turismo. Listening to it again after all these years sent chills down my spine like I've never had. What a nice surprise!

2:40 neither can outfield players. Here in Argentina people became aware of that rule when Martin Palermo, a brilliant striker who only played a few years in Europe, scored in the national derby hanging on the crossbar. The goal did stand, but the rule was talked about in every newspaper. It was a summer friendly, though.

That clip with Turkish player Salih Dursun showing a red card to the referee is truly iconic, now he has a statue in Trabzon, Turkey. 😂😂

8:04 I’ve always wondered what boot Harry Kane wore, now I know! 8:54 I remember sock boots, when they first came out everyone only wanted to wear sock boots 😂

Thanks for providing a lot of insight on football! Another banger video! 🔥

Another banger Kieran keep it up

sick video. seemed really well researched and edited. think you could have ended it a bit smoother though as it cut quite abruptly. also, i think the music transitions were a bit hard as well but overall really enjoyed the video!

This video is very useful thanks Ki

I love that Kiran always gets out of his way to give us good videos

I don’t think you can ever ban heading in football as it’s such a big and important part of the game. I completely understand banning it for children though. Also, I play CM and I’m quite tall and win a lot of headers from goal kicks and do have headaches now and then later in the day so I do think something will be done about it. Maybe more padding on the balls, lighter balls or absorbable headbands for players, I don’t know.

Love the Videos Kieran if possible can you please make the videos a bit longer. My fravourite KZfaqr!!

The subsitutes can refuse to be subbed reminds me of the league cup final when arizbalaga refused to come off. Sarri was absolutely furious and almost walked off the stadium. That was rather amusing episode.

Bolton ground in thumbnail bro😂😂

broi love your content so much im a big fan!

I hate the heading ban most of the crosses result in headers I think that players only head 1-2 times a game and the pain only lasts 2-3 minutes

It is called Repetitive Head Impacts (RHI) - lots of research on it potentially leading to neurodegenerative diseases such as CTE. Basically, repeated low magnitude head impacts can be just as bad as high magnitude events that cause immediate concussion symptoms. Very much linked with collision/contact sports (Hockey, American Football, Rugby) and more focus now on Football in light of recent evidence/research coming out and our knowledge of how often players head the ball

i always love your creative videos

I love Kieran’s videos❤

THESE WERE BANGING

Love the idea Kieran 😂😂

Man never give up ur amazing bruv

I honestly thought that adding Vaseline to your gloves would have the complete opposite effect of making them grippy. Don't people use Vaseline as, um......you know......a lubricant? Wouldn't it make your gloves more slippery? Seemed to suggest that was the case in this test, with the ball wanting to jump out of his hands. I mean come on, Ice Cube even brought out a song called 'No Vaseline' that was all about "gettin' f*cked with no Vaseline" lol Now if you tried adding Swarfega heavy duty hand cleaner? Maybe. That stuff has got like, full on grit in it!

Unique idea, implemented well too. Game would be so weird without heading.

I’ve never been this early to a Kieran brown vid, but I love it…

I have only headed the ball twice or trice while playing, I once was in a football training camp, and one time there was a heading session. I tried to hide away or skip turns because I was very afraid of the ball hitting my head. Until this point I only head the ball if there's no other option.

Love these videos

I personally think that the last rule is good because if you head the ball and get a concussion, you cant really play on, but thats just my take, keep up the good work!

Bro waffles on a bit. "This next thing i'm gonna show you broke several rules".

Kieran smokin the goalkeeper lol

When heading as a kid, it hurt so much that I'd try to avoid heading the ball at all costs. I've not headed a ball since.

With heading, it's not just the ball to head contact that is concerning, at least not for younger kids. The other concern is when the player comes down, doesn't land on their feet, and their head goes down. The ground and other players' feet can contact the player's head causing damage.

For the heading rule I've gotta say something. I developed a chronich illness called post traumathic headache, not very bad, but sometimes I fell like shit. The point is my doctor specifically told me to try and not head a ball when possible, basically telling me to try and avoid football. I understand the rule, and, while being controversial, I think it will be better for the people

I always had a little chuckle when people thought Puma were crazy. I can’t remember the name of the player but when Luton were in League 2 we had a player that would wear two different boots. Same brand but different

Its always been insane that football (soccer) players well go down like they have been shot at the slightest bit of contact, but willing to take bullet shots to the head and move on like nothings happened

Just some more rules for VAR to rule out a goal 😐 (Great vid as always though)

9:08 i actualy did wear them when i was junger. I remember them as great boots actualy

Ayo this KZfaqr is awesome

😊love your vids

Heading can cause lasting health concerns… I never thought of such a thing before. 😯

3:13 - Disney World called. The person who wears those gloves during their shift in the park dressed as Mickey Mouse wants them back.

Kieran brown is the best 👇if you agree

On my high school team last season, we had 3 concussions from heading the ball. It’s just a precautionary rule.

Brudda make this video Making a recreation of famous players’s best goal

I think banning heading would have it's pros and cons personally I don't think it would do much with health bc for me I never intentionally do headers but that won't stop ppl from getting hit in the head with the ball but it would be almost impossible to defend free kicks And corners without being allowed to head

Great vid 🎉

4:29 he looks like mac allister 😂

The rules on kits in the Premier league is different to many. You can't have anything on the kit that looks like something. You can have multiple things that just look like a pattern, but you can't blatantly have something e.g a lion, city skyline, a tree, ect.

I love your videos

For a centre back i couldn't imagine a game without heading, also all the attacking players have to do a bicycle kick, a scorpion kick or just nothing when a ball comes pretty high so i really hope heading isn't getting banned

The game is so soft already. Why ban headers

they should change the first rule and have the sleeve line be where handling offences start.

I said it 35 years ago that heading a ball is dangerous and should not be allowed,nobody listened at all.i was in my teens but boy that ball hurts. I can only imagine the force a player meets the ball direct from e.g a goal kick,meeting it head on and heading it back the way it came,can you imagine the impact.ok it's part of the game and players get on with it but it's not natural.there has to be consequences in later years

3:22 bro brought Mickey Mouse gloves to a football game

With the goalkeepers not being able to destract the taker, they're allowed to dance aslong as they're behind the line as they're not actually on the pitch. Hope this helps

Headers is true tho, few headers gave me a couple light concussions, nothing too bad but could’ve been worse tbh 😂

never expected to see the reebok in the thumbnail of this video

I’m not a big fan of headers to be honest (because I’m not used to it) but it could make it that there might be more volleys

Keiran’s music taste 👌

0:32 how does the ball go from one to the other and then again later on

One of my teachers had a lot of scars on his forehead from heading the old balls which had valves that stuck out from the ball slightly. Ouch.

Please try the new euros ball fussballliebe!

During rule 1, you are also violating another equipment rule. Goalkeepers are allowed tracksuit bottoms, but other players have to wear shorts. You can wear undershorts, but, like undershirts, they have to be the same colour as your short legs. Also, reading the rule, the only reasons why hanging off the crossbar to save a penalty is not allowed are because the keeper must keep at least one foot on the line until the ball is kicked (to avoid keepers moving forward to reduce the kicker's options) and because, as you said, you can't hit or touch the posts before the ball is kicked to distract the taker. With that said, if you manage to hang on to the crossbar after the ball is kicked and still manage to save it, it's fair game.

with the Vaseline, the reason it wasn't working well is because the gloves has to be wet. that will make it grippier

Many Goalkeepers have an extra rubber fingertip pad in their gloves giving them an added inch or so of reach. Pro gloves will also have a rib system behind the fingers to strengthen those tips. So maybe its time for Rule against that.

How are corners gonna work without heading?

the way he was hitting the header😭😭

Can you try American football gloves as goalie gloves? Keepers for my teams say they're way stickier than normal gloves

IM NOT LETTING TOP COMMENT BE "ONLY REAL KIERAN BROWN FANS CAN LIKE THIS COMMENT."

Bro, you know I’m gonna be a football player when I grow goalkeeper and a striker 1:08

One of the old headlines for preds was “100% legal, 0% fair”

11:10 Matt Clarke wouldn’t stand a chance without headers

The league caught wind of Ben Tozer’s throw ins and decided to nerf him lol

The long-term effects of too mmany headers is not something you can actually feel in form of pain or any kind of discomfort. The symptoms are likely to surface much later.

I've got an interesting rule. If a player is not on the field of play, the player is considered to be at the point on the pitch closest to them. That means that if, for whatever reason, a player is behind the goal line, they are considered to be on the line for the purposes of offsides. Obviously, in most scenarios, this would not be a useful rule to exploit, however, if your opponents also had 2 players behind the line, it wouldn't matter if you were in the next city over, you would still be onside as you would be considered level with the 2 other players who are also off the pitch. This rule is most commonly interpreted to be used as the place a free kick (or penalty) is taken from if a foul occurs off the pitch, but I think this is an interesting interpretation of the rule that could be exploited in a goalline scramble that ends up with multiple players in the goal mouth/net and/or over the touchline near the advertising boards. I think it also means that if a pass is played from on the touchline, as long as a fraction of a millimetre of the ball is off the pitch, no one can be offside as the pass would always be considered at least level with play, if not backwards. This is more easily exploitable as you could intend to pass to a teammate who was just coming back from the end of the pitch, but you could wait for the ball to be on the line before kicking it to ensure your teammate is back onside.

Bolton stadium as the thumbnail 🥳

Bolton stadium in the thumbnail the macron on the seats is gone im pretty sure.

Problem with banning heading is that it will make corners less significant because the goalkeeper will be able to dominate the area close to him

i think if we had no heading defenders cant block as many shots incase it is a high shot and the keepers cant grab it and under 12 s cant header witch is the same problem!

Imagine a corner kick or an indirect free kick without headers bro we never would have had the Flying Dutchman goal without headers

Next, they'll want to get rid of keeper in general since it's the most dangerous position

anther banger so good i wthe all day long

It’s so funny because no one sits you down and explains the rules of the game when you’re a kid. You just play. I had no idea about foul throws until I did one

the wierdest law in football is if its a penalty shootout after a draw and you're team has less players on the ptich because of a red card the other team has to reduce their palyer's to the numbers of player on you're team so bassicly remove one player

The only heading problem is heading other heads, not the ball... 😅

Those old footballs were like heading soggy cannonballs so you can see why past days footballers could get head traumas. But modern footballs are coated so don't get waterlogged and too heavy. I think head traumas will gradually disappear.

Anuther Great Video Ki Like How Are You So Consistent lol

The header rule is ridiculous. Improve the ball (new matrials, less air pressure etc), limit practice sessions, improve head techniques etc. It seems something that can be solved without removing such a vital part of the game.

5:40 the goalkeeper looks like Mac allister

I cant see heading being taken out the game at all. A ball is played long, instinctively you go for a header, same for a corner, you head the ball, although if they want to kill the game of football, it will come into force.

Great video

What was the issue with the legel scecher boots?

They should have a dedicated header player in the team, and if current players aren't willing to do that for £100k+ a week I'd quite happily fill that role for them.

I saw a newspaper article that said that every time your head gets hit some of your brain cells completely die off

If heading is illegal then my little brother (who is U12) and his team are in deep trouble. They practise heading every session and are told to head the ball and dont be scared
