For example:

The semi circle on the edge of the penalty area


Rafa Benitez' sign language on the touchline

You would allow them to stand by the corner flag or behind the goal putting the opposition goalie off?

I'm confused as to why the half-circle at the edge of the area is pointless and the full circle in the middle, or better yet, the six-yard area, aren't mentioned at all.

the circle in the middle of the pitch is quite obviously needed so that the opposition team cant stand on top of you as you kick off

amd the six yard area is where the goalkeeper has to take his goal kicks from

For me taking off the shirt resulting in a yellow card is completely pointless.

Both circles/semi-circles are 10 yards (I think) from the centre spot and penalty spot for the same reason. Aren't they?

Rubbish, of course it's useful. It's completely necessary.

It's for sponsorship reasons. Sponsors pay millions for their name to be seen on the shirt, and when a goal is scored there's the opportunity for a close up of the sponsor. Take it off, the sponsor gets nothing.

Ah that makes sense I suppose. I remember hearing years ago that it was because of time wasting but obviously there are longer celebrations with the shirt on so I always thought there was no real point to it.
