Rule changes from 1st of June

[jimmycase]

The IFAB has decided that a team kicking off can play the ball backwards into their own half instead of having to play it forward into the oppos half.

 

Apparently they got pissed off with the team kicking off having a player in the oppos half to receive the ball. Why not just enforce the rule that the player cannot be in the oppos half until the ball has 'travelled' one full rotation?

 

Keepers conceeding a pen will only be shown a yellow card provided there was real intent to play the ball and not just take the man out.

 

A player may now be sent off before a game starts but can be replaced by one of the named substitutes meaning the team will still start with 11 players.

 

When a player is injured and the opponent gets a yellow or red card, the injured player can now receive quick treatment on the pitch and not have to leave the field for treatment

[njackets]

Im a bit pissed and tired, but that sending off and being replaced by a sub makes no sense, is this a wind up?

Manuel Neuer is gonna love that keeper one, the kamikaze bastard.

Its only if the red is before kickoff

You are going to get a shit load of pens now as players will just take out the attacker and make it look like a attempt for the ball. Its worth the risk. Fat Ssm/Pullis will love it

.

Actually not sure what problem this rule solves?

 

I see time wasting as a bigger problem - when players fake injury.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Keeper rule sucks dick

[Paulie Dangerously]

Stops the "double punishment" of a red and a goal which makes some games so interesting kudos to the rule makers

[Anubis]

That sending off rule is great. Just detail one disposable player in the starting 11 to punch the fuck out of Lee Mason before the game starts.

[Trumo]

A 4th substitute in extra time is also being trialled at this summer's Olympics.

[Lee909]

That one i like

[Gym Beglin]

Name skrtel in the starting XI for Seville and then get him to punch their first team goalkeeper before kick off.

[Lee909]

Wouldn't make much sense with the rules not bring brought in till June

[Trumo]

Trying to think what the last really significant rule change was - one that had a direct and immediate impact on the flow of a game in general. I reckon it was the back-pass rule, and I think it was Euro 92 when it was debuted.

Golden and Silver goals rule, I reckon. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Golden and Silver goals rule, I reckon. 

 

Quite liked the Golden Goal rule, worked well for us and France.  I can see the unfairness for the other team though should someone score a calamitous own goal in the first 10 seconds of extra time though

The Golden Goal rule was a great rule and should still exist,no doubt. Extra time games have turned back into snoozefests since the demise of the Gold and Silver goal rules.

I like the Keeper rule. I always thought a penalty + a sending off was too much.

[Lee909]

Why is it too much?

You make it a yellow card and its in the keepers interests to take the player out. Wait till we are 0-0 with Stoke/West Brom/Sunderland and the keeper takes out Sturridge and we miss the pen

[Russ Atmosphere]

I'd like to see timewasting tackled much better. Really bored of the pretend keeper injury or just anything that is done to spoil the tempo of the attacking team.

 

There's also currently a comical situation where the keeper gets a yellow for timewasting on 4/5 separate occasions, then timewastes after he gets the yellow because refs barely ever enforce a second yellow.

 

I also think cynical fouls like a trip or blatant rugby tackle to stop a counter-attack are poorly punished with just a yellow.

The various 'interfering with play/opponent' tweaks to offside, I reckon.  Killed the offside trap, alas.

I always thought that to award a penalty and to send off the keeper was to penalize the team twice.

 

And not all penalties are deliberate from keepers. Plus a lot of the time the striker is looking for the penalty. A penalty + yellow card is good middle ground.

 

Wait till we are 0-0 with Stoke/West Brom/Sunderland and their striker dives in the box when Ming breathes on him.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Wouldn't mind seeing penalties given where there's also a yellow to the attacker for exaggeration/simulation. Sometimes it's still a foul but there's no need for the scene out of Platoon.

They allow this every single game, not to mention players walking off the field slowly, taking forever with throw-ins...then they claim that using video technology for decisions would slow the game down too much!

For fans at least, couldn't it be done that there's a clock showing the end time of each half that is shown during the half. You could actually see when additional time is being added on by the officials.

I love cynical fouls to stop counter-attacks. It reminds me of watching Serie A on channel four.
