Rule Changes for Next Season (2 Viewers)

[Gazolba]

I wanted to see a rule where the first person to touch the ball after it goes out of play must be the person to take the throw-in or corner. No handing it off to someone else.

If you ever read "Sport bible" for journalistic reasons you were a long way off the mark.

The story was reported by Sky sports and Marca in Spain, not a bunch of students on Facebook/Twitter creating clickbait

Sorry, the sarcastic quote marks should also have incorporated journalism.

I understand why they are tinkering with things like this, but the easy way to stop any sort of time wasting is simply to add the time on. Why don’t referees do this? If time added on regularly 8, 9 10 minutes in stead of the current 3, 4, of 5 it might make teams stop doing it. Perhaps timekeeping needs to be done by a separate official.

This.... if only there was a "Fourth" referee that has almost bugger all else to do. Use a stopwatch to record the whole time the ball isnt in play. I do think we'd end up with about 15minutes every game though which could be an issue.

When watching players ambling off i always think that they just shouldn't stop the game for subs, new player cant come on until the old player off and the game goes on, they certainly wont be walking then. Could make a rule that if there is a physio on the pitch maybe game stops, i think there's things that could be learnt from Rugby in this respect.

Massive time-waste opportunity that would be. One of my desired rules is that once a decision (be it a throw-in, free kick, etc) is given the opposition cannot touch the ball until it is back in play. Stop this rolling the ball around with your foot which seems to have replaced kicking the ball away.

Nick would say two foot them to get it back

That's the standard way when people are trying to time waste with the ball in the corner.

It means more if you don't say anything, just get up and walk off.

Next season for FA cup games there will be a panel assessing all dives at the end of the game. The team with the best dive will be awarded 1/2 goal. This is to obviate the need for replays, extra time and penalties.

They need to come up with ideas to stop the keeper time wasting and stop this stupid taking the goalkick on whichever side takes longer.

Subs if it takes longer than twenty seconds to get off the pitch book the player coming on and don’t wait to restart the game while they get into position as soon as the player leaving gets off blow the whistle and start

I think they just need to start dishing out cards properly for time wasting and be consistent. It's OK giving people warnings over and over but they will just keep doing it, the first time somebody gets a booking and then sent off for doing it twice in a game (and they keep doing it) then people will stop it.

The waiting to get into position thing bugs me as well, if a player isn't properly injured getting treatment then there should be a time limit on how long a sub can take before the game goes on. If they mess about, then when the player goes off they have to wait until the next break in play to bring a player on.

Time added on should be counted from any time wasting. Inc subs, celebrations and so on. Really when a goal is scored the clock should stop until the restart.

In the Leeds game last night. 5 mins was added on the ball was in play for no more than 2 mins of that.

For tactical subs they should just get the 4th official a board that counts down from 30 seconds from when the ref blows his whistle to stop the game. After that 30 seconds if the player isn't ready to come on, the game continues. Less arguing over the time added on for subs then too. Suppose it would just end up with no tactical subs though and everybody being 'injured'

 

[Houchens Head]

Strikers should be allowed to pick the ball up and throw it into the goal if they feel that would be more accurate!

i think this gives a decent summary of the rule changes
The major rule changes that will impact English football next season

So goalkeepers must stay static when waiting for the penalty taker to take his pen?, that's bollocks that is.

they dont have to be static just have one foot on the line when the penalty is taken
