@Duckiedoggo
why would having one cleat off be any reason to stop the game?
and where do you see anything worthy of the ref stepping in? everything so far has been fair game and no fouls were commited.
@stonefinger because that's not allowed, duh. The player are prone to injuries from tackle, from body contact, etc.
and where do i see anything worthy of the ref stepping in? When the cleats are off, duh.
also FIFA's rule on equipment :
"A player whose footwear or shinguard is lost accidentally must replace it as
soon as possible and no later than when the ball next goes out of play;
if before doing so the player plays the ball and/or scores a goal, the goal is
awarded. "
