If clubs have requested a stoppage before the game, the referee will signal for a break, allowing Muslim players to eat and drink at pitchside. Everton's game against Tottenham was stopped in the 26th minute to allow players that had been fasting during the day to take on energy supplements.
But wait, wasn't that after sunset anyway? Reader, you guessed correctly...
Although sunset was before kick-off, allowing players to break their fast, a drinks break was pre-agreed with the referee when both teams - including Toffees trio Abdoulaye Doucoure, Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye - came to the side of the pitch to take on fluids.
It's not doing its job - which is not the job they claim - if the kuffar don't see it, is it?
I never thought I'd say this, as an Englishwoman born and bred, but...why can't we be more French?
Meanwhile, France's football federation (FFF) has told referees they must not pause matches to allow Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan.
"Football does not take into account the political, religious, ideological, or syndical [trade unions] considerations of its actors," read an email to officials. "It is up to all of the parties involved to make sure it is respected."

"Actors" - such an appropriate word to use for players who "take a dive".
So once again, it was clearly "all for show" to rub our faces in Islamic supremacy. Quel fookin' suprise!
