Great looks - poor performance - Nike Tiempo SGT Gloves

Advantages: Stunning looks, very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Very poor grip

...Since being young I have been borderline obsessed with goalkeeper gloves. In my late teens and early 20's I was buying up to 8 pairs of gloves a season. Outrageous, yes maybe, but I was hooked with the feel and optimism that a new pair of gloves would bring. My mates bought boots by the, er, boot load, I however always opted for gloves. Imagine then my disappointment with this purchase. They look the absolute part, having an excellent colour scheme and that massive Nike tick, reassurance usually of a well-made product. I fell for these gloves immediately and parted with something in the region of £65 for them. I had made a mistake. The main problem with these gloves is the foam. 4mm latex palms are what you would expect from professional quality gloves, but by my own admission the SGT technology was an intriguing concept...

Review of Nike Tiempo Premier SGT Goalkeepers Gloves

No serious goalkeeper should be wearing anything but fingersaves!

Advantages: Protection from breaks and increased control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit strange at first if not used to fingersaves but easy to adapt to!

...I thought I would write this review as I have had a great experience with this product. I'm no professional, though play football at a respectable level and consider myself to be a promising young goalkeeper. I had never bothered with fingersave gloves before I broke my index finger in a game last year. I decided following it's recovery that I should invest in a pair of fingersave gloves. I must admit I had my reservations about these in particular with respect to mobility. I thought the bending of the fingers would be restricted too much but I was wrong. I invested in a pair of these and they have been brilliant, no problems whatsoever. If there is anyone out there not wearing fingersave gloves, then invest in a pair, because you only need to break a finger that refuses to heal properly and you've got problems. These gloves...

Review of Adidas Fingersave Replique Goalkeepers Glove

Natural Rubber Gloves.

Advantages: A good quality product that is durable.
Disadvantages: None.

...Rubber gloves are not on my list of favourite things to buy, I rarely wear them for anything else other cleaning drains or unblocking sink traps. But saying that I always keep a pair in my cupboard for dealing with those unforeseen emergencies. Getting the right type of rubber gloves can be tricky, some are so flimsy that they tear on their first outing, others can be so thick that you cannot feel your fingers and if you manage to buy the right size first time around then you are a far better woman than I am. The cheap rubber gloves are very hit and miss, they invariably have no lining and will end up damaging the skin on your hands. I find that the supermarket own brands often make my hands sweat so when I take the glove off my skin looks wrinklier than ever. Pay a little more for a pair of rubber gloves and you seem to get...

Review of SuperGlove Household Gloves

Ebay

Advantages: different types of auctions, feedback system, safe/well known
Disadvantages: can be some fake items/bad sellers

...Ebay is probably the most well known and recognised internet auction site. It allows buyers and sellers to meet in an electronic style marketplace. It is an auction site so just like in offline auctions you have to bid for a good if you would like to purchase it. The site has three main types of auctions. These are: Auction style listings-the seller offers one or more items for sale for a specified number of days. They can also set a reserve price. The winning bid will be the person who bids the most before the time is up in the auction. This is referred to as proxy bidding and the current winning bid is always displayed but the highest bid that some one has made is not always displayed. For example if some one has bid £10 for an item but they have a maximum bid of £12 then the £10 will be displayed until some one has a bid...

They Fit Just Like A Glove.

Advantages: Provides relief and protects hands.
Disadvantages: Not widely available on the high street. Need to come in other sizes.

...moved as much. When it is on our hands it is not as easy because they are being used all the time, and if the skin is dry it is more likely to crack. So I try very hard to take extra care of my hands during the winter months, and I'm always on the lookout for anything that will help to protect my hands to avoid my them from becoming dry and sore. Prevention is always better than cure. In the cold winter months when I'm out and about walking I wear gloves to keep my hands warm and to protect them from the harsh elements. This helps prevent my hands from drying more. However wearing regular gloves in the house limits the movement in my hands, and makes certain tasks difficult. One winter when my hands were suffering quite a bit, I went into my local chemist to ask for advice, to see what would be best to use on my hands to keep...

Review of Jasmine Silk Cotton Moisturising Gloves

My Ebay, Your Ebay, Anyones Ebay.

Advantages: Unusual presents, easy to browse.
Disadvantages: Addictive, spend too much.

...I know there are many Ebay reviews already, but as I have been a member of Ebay since 25/09/01 before it became a household name, I thought I would write a review. What is Ebay? * * * * * * * * * * Ebay is an online auction shopping site. Almost anything can be bought on Ebay (except livestock) from normal, everyday items to weird and wonderful. There are other online auctions but Ebay is the most popular. I have bought from others, but Ebay has an extensive equestrian range which is really useful to me with my horses. Think of something, put it in search and it will display any items that are available. You can also go into the categories to find what you are looking for. I won`t bore you by listing everything as you can look yourself, or probably already have, but just for an idea, clothes, sporting equipment...

The Highs and Lows of eBay!

Advantages: Many Buyers, Sellers & Items, Bargains, Shop at home, Sell your stuff, Make Money!
Disadvantages: Time wasters, dishonest users, competition, Fees, Risks, Unjustified auction 'pulling'

...Start your own Online Business on eBay eBay is an online auction house, but more commonly referred to as an 'online marketplace' because many items can also be bought at a fixed price. eBay is one of the most visited websites on the Internet and can only be described as an online phenomenon, even being featured in blockbusters such as Men in Black, Transformers, etc. With hundreds of millions of items listed worldwide, and millions of items bought and sold daily, it's the behemoth of auction websites. I first signed up for eBay in 2002 and have since bought and sold hundreds of items on the site. I even achieved Power Seller status from all my selling for a while. The idea of eBay is that a seller lists an item for sale, either at a fixed price, or as an auction. With this in mind, the seller can sell off their unwanted...

That little Extra Strength

Advantages: Excellent support for fingers, good grip, good punch
Disadvantages: None that I can find so far

...also much more fun, however I've found that the reinforced backings make punching a little more difficult as the backs tend to be rounded off rather than flat, so be careful on punches until you get used to it. Grip is good, both in dry and wet weather, so far my gloves have not worn down enough for me to comment on how the grip acts after continual use. Final words, in door footie these are also excellent, for when you need to go in close up and dive in at players feet giving good protection for kicks and being stepped on. Over the past 4 years I would say these are the best gloves I have bought. I would recommend them for all levels of players of all ages. Cheers Kwai...

Me on Ebay

Advantages: Loads of sections and addictive
Disadvantages: Listing fee

...I signed up to Ebay.co.uk about a month ago. It's free to join, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Now i am addicted to the site, it's just brilliant. There are lots of sections to choose from and look at what people are selling. It is a good way of getting rid of stuff you don't want for money, and it's good for buying things you need. I usually look in the football section (being a mad footy fan), and i've bid for quite a few things, football shirts mainly, but i've also bid for a couple of football programmes, that i was missing out of my collection. I was the highest bidder for an England shirt (£11.50), so i sent my cheque off a few days ago. And i was the highest bidder for quite an old Leeds Utd shirt (for my collection) for £5.50. Now i have received both of these shirts, in very good condition. I have also...
