In my league half time is 5 minutes unless otherwise agreed by the referee. Most teams just gather by the touchline. A team I reffed a few weeks ago disappeared at half time (presumably to their dressing room although I didn't check that) and didn't emerge for almost 20 minutes.
The league rules do not specify a sanction for being late out. I included the information on my match report.
I have the same team again this weekend on a 2.15 KO. If they play that trick again we'll lose light before we finish. I'm guessing that I would be within the laws of the game to abandon the match at the start of the second half due to one team having fewer than 7 players present? In practice, how would you handle this?
