I think it is misplacedIs it really a misplaced rule when examples have already been given of serious injury occurring because of jewellery though?
Out of interest, at this time of year, how do members of the brethren check for rings underneath gloves...?
The referee in question was fighting for a spot at the World Cup finals. He wasn't going to let someone play with a ring because that would've been the end of his competition.When a ring on a finger is considered a safety issue but the solution is to cut it off with a grinder then the person who made that decision must consider his decision making!
It was much closer to this (though the grinding "blade" was soft and barely abraided the skin when it went against skin.While I am imagining this used by a jeweller or a surgeon

Don't go looking for trouble. Similar to wristbands covering festival bracelets. Unless it's obvious, you don't know about itOut of interest, at this time of year, how do members of the brethren check for rings underneath gloves...?
I know the type. The blade doesn't actually spin. It vibrates so it cuts solid material but tickles the skin. Similar things are used to cut the plaster cast of an arm.It was much closer to this (though the grinding "blade" was soft and barely abraided the skin when it went against skin.
Could I have these examples of LOTG we're choosing to not enforce?
Encroachment blah blah blah6 second law for goalkeepers....
6 second law for goalkeepers....
That's one, you promised plenty
Six second law.
Encroachment at penalty kicks.
Dissent (certainly at top level).
Unsporting Behaviour (ie feigning injury/assault)
Time wasting.
All the above are given the "laissez faire" treatment in the Premier League.
We're not discussing Premier League here (unless we have a few hidden Prem refs), we're discussing the LOTG that we apparently don't follow at the below levels

Didn't say we were or weren't.
In any event, the first 4 examples given could be said of "some" referees at any level.
