Evening gentleman,
Theres been an increase in this over the season with directions given to referees now to enforce. Just a reminder re the wearing of jewellery and players believing it can be taped up.
From the referees direction
The Laws of The Game prohibit this.
- If a player has tape that can clearly be seen covering jewellery, eg stud earrings or a ring, these must be removed before you can play.
- fitness bands such as a fitbit can't be worn on the wrist, even if covered by a sweatband.
- GPSs worn under clothing are fine. Bobby pins are also ok.
- a medical identification bracelet or necklace is allowed if taped to the body.
Just to clarify, you cannot simply tape up jewellery, it must be removed.

Technically speaking not allowed but I guess could classify as a body pin. Wear at ones risk I would say as you wouldnt want to go to ground with a fall and body slide - tape it at worst.
