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
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.
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.
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
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'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.
So goalkeepers must stay static when waiting for the penalty taker to take his pen?, that's bollocks that is.i think this gives a decent summary of the rule changes
The major rule changes that will impact English football next season
they dont have to be static just have one foot on the line when the penalty is takenSo goalkeepers must stay static when waiting for the penalty taker to take his pen?, that's bollocks that is.
