Without permission of the referee, no person shall be allowed on the field of play during a match other than the linesmen and players. It is the duty of members of the Council, officials of clubs, and referees to report to the Council all cases of misconduct likely to bring the game into disrepute; and officials of clubs must report to the Council any infringement of rules without delay. All Clubs connected with the Association must have bills printed and posted in their grounds, threatening with expulsion any person who is guilty of insulting or improper conduct towards the Referee. Any misconduct towards a Referee away from the field of play will be dealt with in the same way as if the offence had been committed on the field. Clubs are expected to provide a private way for players and officials from playing ground to dressing room wherever this' is practicable. It is misconduct for any Association or Club, or any player, official, or member of any Association or Club to offer, or attempt to offer, either directly or indirectly, any consideration whatever to another Club, player, or players of any other Club, with a view to influence the result of a match. It is misconduct for any Club, player, or players to accept any such consideration.
