Football (Soccer) Has SOME Standards
From the Danged Rulebook, Law 1, Decision 3:
No kind of commercial advertising, whether real or virtual, is permitted
on the field of play and field equipment (including the goal nets and
the areas they enclose) from the time the teams enter the field of play
until they have left it at half-time and from the time the teams re-enter
the field of play until the end of the match. In particular, no advertising
material of any kind may be displayed on goals, nets, flagposts or their
flags. No extraneous equipment (cameras, microphones, etc.) may be
attached to these items.
Note, however, that a player lying on the field of play is exempt from this regulation.
In another rule excerpt, stoppage time is completely at the discretion of the referee. This has struck me as odd, but I guess people accept it.
Allowance is made in either period for all time lost through:
- substitution(s)
- assessment of injury to players
- removal of injured players from the field of play for treatment
- wasting time
- any other cause
The allowance for time lost is at the discretion of the referee.
