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 |

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? |

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. |
