When to call the Technical

That's what I was talking about. I didn't even realize anyone was talking about undershirts at any point other than the guy talking about the Australian national team. Where in the world did I "spout off" like you're "some rookie looking to make up stuff?"

Anyway, to get back to the actual topic, I don't have a T for the kid leaving the bench after fouling out. If you do, I don't have a problem with but that's not something that I'm going to chase down and worry about late in a game where the action is likely intensifying.

Players with blood on their jersey get inspected by the trainer first. They are not instructed by us to change their uniform unless it cannot be appropriately cleaned.
