He isn't very good ,much prefer Targett another disaster made by the club.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

He was on the field for the actual corner.

It's all very amateurish though. If Ref had issue he should've spotted it in the tunnel anyway and told him to take it off then rather than minute into the game.

I don't think it's the ref's job to inspect players ear lobes before the game begins.

It is.

really he's twice the player Targett ever was.

Seriously? Is it also incumbent on the referee to inspect all of the players hands before a game?

Only at The Sty where they have to check the number of fingers.

Technically, it might be on the Ref but the responsibility ultimately lies with the player, utterly ridiculous and bizarre.  Concede a goal while down to 10 men because a defender is removing jewellery, pretty much summed up the whole day really.

[dave shelley]

Pre-match protocol would go something like this: Referee or Linesman would enter the dressing rooms, inspect the footwear of all players and then say something along the lines of: Gentlemen please ensure all jewelry is removed and rings taped up.  The fact that Digne didn't remove his shows that he and the referee/linesman was derelict in their duty.

Pretty familiar to anyone that's played Sunday football I would've thought, not every ref bothered but some would always check boots, rings, chains etc.

What about knuckle-dusters? Or do they come under rings?

Keep it tucked in your Peter Withe wristband for when it's needed. Joking aside, I used to play with a lad that kept one in his kitbag which he always bought out to the pitch, just in case.

... and rings taped up... 

Seems a little extreme

Sovereign rings can do a fair bit of damage.

Wake up call. Back to work now, stop fucking around with jewellery, switch on and get back to earning your living. Fucking diamond earrings, what a ponce.

I once refused to start a game when I saw a goalkeeper throw his cap and spare gloves into the back of the net along with a flick knife, think of that if you will.  What I learned from that is:
a) I should have sent him off immediately, I didn't.
b) I should not have started the match, I did.
c) I should have called the police, I didn't.
d) I should have reported it to the league officials, l didn't.

I was a novice at the time but really that was no excuse.  I learned.
