I would tend to disagree. As you also said, it can be read either way but the more likely interpretation (IMHO) is that it applies to both parts of the sentence, especially when the explanation of the change on page 132 of the Laws refers to, "In particular, approved ‘drinks breaks’ "the use of the word or instead of and suggests that time is allowed for drinks breaks, period. And a secondaey allowance is made for other medical breaks permitted by the competition rules.
Ah yes I see that now. I only looked at the law itself. One would assume that when the 17/18 is published we'll lose that section (it will be there but for the 17/18 changes).I would tend to disagree.

Having said that, I'm not arguing that referees should refuse drinks breaks just because they're not mentioned in the competition rules, if the weather conditions are such that they are required for the health of the players. I think a "spirit of the game" argument would apply here. My original point was simply that since drinks breaks should be mentioned in the ROC, that would be a good place to start looking.
So you gonna run risk of players on one side becoming ill due to the decision of players on the other side? You are the referee, you are responsible for the safety of the players, you make that call !!!
"oh sorry your number 7 passed out, the other team said he was not to get a drink"
aye ok.

Oooh trying to tie me in knots with double negatives.
Believe what you want. You have never attended any of my games. You don't know
At the top levels players treated on the pitch all the time as well!Show me one public park referee who does not allow injured players to be treated on the pitch?
its called common sense. And it far outweighs the courtroom examination of a referee manual.
I'm really impressed you think so highly of me but again you demonstrate your lack of knowledge otherwise you'd know about the diagnosis of my heart condition which curtailed my training and fitness. You keep on going though, you seem to think you know a lot about me.Never even had a player go down with cramp and a team mate or indeed opponent gives him a stretch?
If you are the referee who force a 12 yo on the centre spot to be taken to the touchline in the pouring rain by the one club official who already has his hands full and is losing 7-0 with no subs, to be given a sponge or spray (regardless that we know these things dont cure malaria) then i am glad i have never seen you referee as i would be left shaking my head as to how officious and without regard for the spirit of the game you are.
I decree that a lot of what you post is to make you appear as some kind of moral guardian of the lotg, when in reality, had you practised half of what you preach, you yourself would be, or would have been, the Premierships top official.
