I'm pretty sure there is. I mean...playing soccer all the way up to men's league for years and years, even in Rec, if you dont have shinpads, you cant play.

I remember numerous times where a teammate has forgotten their shinpads and used rolled up paper towel under their socks and hope the ref didn't notice because otherwise you can't play.

Thats why I was confused because, like I said, I know guys that hated wearing shinpads so they got those tiny, tiny ones just to be compliant with the rules, so seeing a player in the EPL who clearly had none because his socks were rolled all the way down? I thought it was odd.
