[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's dumb, but it's a thing.  The rules (laws of the game) just say a player must wear shin guards, but it does not specify the size.   A lot of pros don't wear shin guards, except for games. And when they do wear them, they are small or even comically small.     [/quote]

"Reasonable Protection" is still decided upon by ref for safety... but spineless refs believe the futile interpretations of others nowhere written in the rule.

Player is responsible to choose to wear  shinguards that comply within Law 4... (size + comfort/suitability)

Ref is still responsible as always for safety which is determined by "reasonableness"... + suitable material

note: suitability and suitable material are 2 completely different tenets of rule.

appropriate size is not the same as size... appropriate size goes with "reasonable protection" while "size" goes with player responsibility to choose for their size... which may or may not be an appropriate size. Players who select based upon fashion statements are the least likely to choose appropriate sized gear which offers reasonable protection.

reasonable safety is determined by ref.[/quote]
