Even their example doesn't qualify.. There's at least 7cm from this guy's shinpad to his knee.

there's a bigger gap between the ankle and the bottom of that shinpad!

can we get some rubber socks that'll go the lenght and mean we won't have to wear shinpads?

what is the avenue of appeal for these regulations? they'll never be met

be sensible, they're not going to come round with a tape measure. As long as your shin pads are a decent size then it won't be an issue.

so make a ridiculous rule going too far in the hope that people half follow it and thus improve the standards?

Didn't want to go down this path but,

as soon as someone puts some detail, eg length of so and so on, minimum size then they open themselves up to a whole raft of litigation. The FIFA rule is sufficient enough in saying that the shin guard will provide a reasonable degree of protection. 'Reasonable" being the operative word and able to be defended, but to put an actual definitive, "within one to two centimetres" leaves not only the lawmakers but the law enforcers (referees) with a case to explain. But so be it, if the 'LOCAL' lawmakers of the beautiful game want it measured in millimetres then who am I to tell em "BE TOLD"

Of course back in the old days when people took responsibility for their actions it was left down to the individual but that can't happen now that everyone tries to find someone else to blame when they do something wrong or their decision is proved a wrong one.
Never argue with an idiot - they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
