Laws 1:
The goalposts and crossbar be made of wood, metal or other approved material. They must be square, rectangular, round or elliptical in shape and must not be dangerous to players.
Reason:
Goalpost and crossbar of other shape are not permitted.
Guidelines for Referees:
Injured Player:
Exceptions to this ruling are to be made only when:
- a goalkeeper is injured
- a goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided and need immediate attention
- players from the same team have collided and need immediate attention
- a severe injury occurred, e.g. • swallowed tongue, concussion, broken leg
Reason:
It is considered unfair that players of the same team who collide are currently required to leave the field of play to receive treatment leaving the team concerned at a numerical disadvantage.
The stretcher bearers should only enter the field of play with a stretcher following a signal from the referee.
Reason:
Stretcher-bearers’ mandatory entry onto the field of play for all injuries where a doctor is requested frequently causes unnecessary disruption to the game.
Amendments will be enforced on 1 June 2010 in the World Cup 2010.
