Brak języka polskiego!

Jak możecie tak lekceważyć piłkarską społeczność świata i wypuszczać apkę z przepisami tylko w 4 językach?
Skandal!

Excellent, comprehensive, and far better than the written books we used to receive!

Glad to see the laws of the game digitized. The physical book was great while it lasted all those decades ago, but this is so much better. Much easier to search and the question and answer section could be a book all on its own. Might need a better organizational method on the Q&A, but the laws are organized as they always have been, which is great. Really appreciate the standardization.
