    Rafa's Hand Signals

    What are they all about? Has anyone been able to translate. He did a new one the other day it looked like he was doing a little dive like signal

    Any other translations? And can the players even see from that far away anyway?

    compact - i know that one

    also "wide" is common

    "over the top" too


    and "Riise you are coming off now!"

    but you dont have to be a phd in body language or semiotics to grasp that one...

      I sit by the bench and have got on to most of them by now but he did one to Kuyt the other day which I was cluless about - he seemd to be warning him about getting pregnant!

      When Cisse was playing his favourite signal was to grit his teeth and say something to Paco whilst shaking his head

                      He did a over the top dive type signal in the Chelsea match which seemed to result in Aurelio's chipped freekick that he over hit and no-one ran onto. Obviously worked better in training.

                      I hadn't appreciated Rafa had such influence on the way we play our set pieces. I always presumed the person taking the kick decides what to do.

                          I have played a couple of games in my younger years.
                          Nice try though.

                            Rafa picked those hand signals from baseball I reckon

                            I'm still waiting for this hand signal...

                              Rafa's increasingly manic hand signals, as well as his steadfast refusal to look the slightest bit pleased when we score, cracks me up totally.

                              If we're talking rapid gesticulation here, I reckon he puts Ted Rogers off 3-2-1 firmly in the ha'penny place. Go Rafa!
