  13. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment Restarts • If Referee stops play to issue a caution • What is the Restart ? • Where is the Restart ? Indirect Free Kick Where the ball was when the Referee stopped the game

  14. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment Special Comments • If there is a conflict between team colours, which team must change colours ? • Each keeper must wear colours that are different from the other players and the officials. • This is why the officials must have both a Black (Grey) and Yellow shirt at all times. • Never touch a child unless you are given permission to do so and even then really think about whether it is necessary !! The HOME team must change colours

  15. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment Religious Clothing • THE OSA position is that Religious clothing can be worn as long as it is safe in the opinion of the Referee. Hijab worn by Muslims Turban worn by Sikhs

  16. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment Application of the CSA Guidelines in Ontario http://ontariosoccer.net/getmedia/c320db95-b249-45a0-a5e6-6bad77d2b7da/Law-4-Memo---Revised-May-2009.aspx JEWELLERY • All items of jewellery (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands etc.) are strictly forbidden and must be removed. Using tape to cover jewellery is not acceptable. • Loose beaded hair is also not permitted unless tied back or covered by a net. • Exceptions to this interpretation are: • Smooth wedding bands, which, when the referee is convinced cannot be removed may be taped. (not the CSA position but understand in recreational soccer it would be accepted)

  17. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment • Medic Alert Bracelets are allowed. Where possible they should be the soft Velcro style which does not present any danger. If the medical alert bracelet is the normal metal type it should be either covered by a sweat band or taped. If taped the taping should be such that the description of the medical problem is clearly visible. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT • Modern protective equipment such as headgear, facemasks and knee and arm protectors made of soft, lightweight padded material are not considered dangerous and are therefore permitted.

  18. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment Hats • NOhats are allowed on the field of play. Exceptions to this are: • The goalkeeper may wear a hat, or an outfield player may be permitted for medical reasons on the presentation of a letter signed by a medical professional and validated by the District Association and a copy to the OSA. In this circumstance: a. the hat may not be a baseball cap, and b. If cap has a peak it must face forwards and have a soft peak. and c. contains no metal or plastic parts

  19. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment • Bandanas - NO bandanas are allowed • Head protectors: Are allowed provided that its sole purpose is to protect the player physically and it poses no danger to the individual or any other player. They must be made of soft, lightweight padded material. • Eyeglasses: are allowed if they are sports spectacles and are safe for the players themselves and for other players. Referees should show tolerance when authorizing their use, particularly for younger players. Materials such as metal or glass are not acceptable. In recreational and house league games referees are expected to show common sense and allow spectacles as long as the basic principals of Law 4 are met.

  20. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment ORTHOPAEDIC SUPPORTS, E.G. KNEE BRACES FIFA Circular 863 states that the vast majority of commercially manufactured supports are safe to use. Knee and arm protectors made of soft, lightweight padded material are not considered dangerous. The major concern is not the ‘hardness’ of the equipment alone, rather that any part of it can cut or wound another player. Any support must be safe for all players, and adequately padded and covered if necessary. (OSA mandates a covering on all leg braces.)

  21. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment CASTS Hard plaster casts are considered to pose a danger to both the wearer and other players and are not permitted to be worn. The practice of padding a hard plaster cast does not reduce the element of danger. Players wearing a soft, lightweight, cast will be permitted to play if the cast does not present a danger to the individual or any other player. Any player who uses a cast to intimidate or injure an opponent shall be cautioned or sent off depending on the nature of the player’s action.

  22. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment FOOTWEAR Referees are encouraged to incorporate a footwear inspection in the pre-match safety check of players’ equipment. - Poorly maintained studs or blades on the sole of the boot can constitute a danger. - When inspecting footwear, referees are to be alert to the possibility of the edge of the blades or studs developing rough areas on either the plastic or metal used in their construction. -These burrs can become very sharp and have been the cause of lacerations to opponents. A referee who is concerned over the condition of blades or studs should refuse their use until such time as the unsafe condition has been removed. (Remember you are allowed to use metal studs as long as they are safe)

  23. Law 4 - The Player’s Equipment HEAD WEAR – KEEPING HAIR OUT OF PLAYERS EYES • In order to clarify the situation regarding the use of something to keep long hair out of players eyes the OSA permits the following: • The use of a hair bands (see below) • Also permissible is the use of “Pro Wrap” (a pre wrap tape) • Players are NOT permitted to wear elastic bands, hair clips or bandanas. Hair bands Pro Wrap

  24. You are the Ref

  25. You are the Ref Answer No goal. Law 4 requires a player to wear the right footwear, so the goal cannot count. This sort of situation highlights why referees have to be alert to everything going on around them. If you see a player remove a boot, blow up immediately and tell the player to leave the pitch if he needs to adjust his kit. The player must then wait for the next stoppage before he can come back on - and you must also recheck his kit for suitability before letting him continue.

  26. You are the Ref

  27. You are the Ref Answer Show the striker a red card and quickly calm everything down. The away team can now replace the dismissed striker with one of their named substitutes and start the game with 11 players, but that substitute cannot be replaced on the game sheet.

  28. You are the Ref

  29. You are the Ref Answer Show him the red card, and stop the substitution taking place. The injured player may well be in pain, and angry, but you can't make allowances for that: all players must be subject to the same laws. The team can, however, bring on their sub if another player goes off.
