Re: Rule changes from next season
The substitution is interesting.
I can see the benefit at the top of the game down to semi pro level with enclosed stadia.
The problems occur at grass roots on the local parks.
Here is a scenario.
Billy has just scored a goal and is gloating and winding up the opposition. Gets into a bit of a confrontation. He is substituted to save him getting sent off.
He leaves the pitch level with the penalty area and walks up the touch line to join his mates on the other side of the half way line. Problem is he has to walk past the opposition management and subs who stand between him and his desired destination.
They have taken a dislike to his antics and seek retribution as he passes.
Major problem for the referee (who is on his own) to sort out the arguement or worse.
Laws apply all the way down the system and so needs to be considered.

Re: Rule changes from next season
The wall rule is stupid. `Attacking` players will just stand in front of the wall. rather than in it.Other rules seem ok. Another rule I would like to see is one to prevent `loan` players playing in the same league as their parent club. EG this would prevent Chambers scoring against Chelsea yesterday which could have been to the benefit of Arsenal ( his parent club). Loan system is great for say Jimmy Dunne getting experience at Sunderland.

A manager sets up his team for various circumstances. Defending a corner or a freekick within the final third he doesn’t set the team up the same way he would if they have a corner or a freekick in the final third.
Eg, on paper Tarkowski is a defender and Wood an attacker. Our corner/freekick Tarkowski is an attacker. Opponents corner/freekick Wood is a defender.

Pretty sure the word Attacker means a member of the attacking team ( eg the team taking the free kick). Have to say I misunderstood it at first. Its badly wordedDyched wrote:Not just that.

No rebounds from penalties
If a penalty is saved or hits the bar/post, the game will then be stopped.
So if it hits the post and rebounds and hits the back of the keeper and goes in then is that a goal?
My guess is the rules for a shootout would apply and therefore it is active until it comes to a stop. Ricochets allowed just no new touches from the attacker. However from the wording it sounds as though the ball would be dead if it hit the bar/post.

"No attacking players in wall
Attacking players will not be permitted to join the defensive wall at a free kick. "
So the referees are now that in charge they can determine what every players duties are on the field of play and will be aware this, supposing the manager has dropped a striker to holding midfield can he then apply to use him in a defensive wall for example. These rules are becoming more than a joke nowadays

Re: Rule changes from next season
Q. Are these changes just in the premier league or throughout the football league's as well?
Re: Rule changes from next season
No. Already answered several times.

There's some (relatively to proper) clever folk on this thread, yet half of them don't seem to understand the word 'attack' as in 'an attacking free kick'. It's really bizarre. That is the one new law that I thought wouldn't need explaining, yet here we are!

Re: Rule changes from next season
The problem with the substituted player walking around the pitch is that he would still have on his playing shirt making it possible that the linesman on the opposite side, for instance, could allow an offside opposition player to score believing their was a player on the far side keeping them onside.

Can't see the subbed player going off the pitch at the nearest touch line, then making his way round to the dugout rule lasting long. The hand gestures from opposition fans won't make for good t.v., then there's the missiles such as coins etc. Hardly conducive to player safety.

Re: Rule changes from next season
Given that refs have a hard enough time getting everything/anything right already, adding stupidity like attacking players not allowed in the wall for them to focus on seems like giving them something else to balls up.
As for the stoppage after penalty it will be the only time the game is stopped without a foul, offside or going out of play. VAR should negate the need for anything like this but given the VAR examples they seem to get wrong every time I see it being used it will no doubt become a farce. The Man City game in Germany the other week was a complete shambles of 5 minutes to get the decision wrong.

What a load of nonsense these are.
Imagine if they focused on fixing stuff that matters, such as limiting loan players out, stopping clubs stockpiling young players, putting proper tests in place for fit and proper owners and retrospective banning of people diving.
Oh no - we're all sorted, last year kick offs could go backwards, next year subs don't have to come to the half way line..... Hallelujah the game is f'kin saved.

Re: Rule changes from next season
What does the wall thing actually achieve?
And the penalty change. Not addeessing the core issue. And rebounds are one of the most entertaining parts of the game. It now adds more pressure on the striker to score. When he should be the one gaining the advantage not the defending side.

Substitution one seems a good idea. The penalty rebound one and defensive wall one seem odd.
Re: Rule changes from next season
The wall one will be the easiest of all to enforce. If the attacking player is committing an offence by being in the wall, he won't be in the wall. You know what refs are like for enforcing pushing on defenders - if an attacker close enough to the wall to give the defender the slightest push, then it will be free kick to the defence and the attack will get no advantage. It's not as if a slight push makes any difference - the attacker would need to give a fairly hefty obstruction to do any good. It'll be like the back pass rule - hardly ever enforced because players don't do it.Hibsclaret wrote:Given that refs have a hard enough time getting everything/anything right already, adding stupidity like attacking players not allowed in the wall for them to focus on seems like giving them something else to balls up.

But the clock then stops when a sub is signaled - if he is not off the pitch sharpish (30 sec), the sub can't then come on = down a player.
Clock starts.
The way it is, every game is cheated so much time. Ball not in play.

Re: Rule changes from next season
It's absurd to rule that an attacking player cannot stand where a wall has been formed by the defence, or anywhere else on the pitch providing he is not in infringement of the offside rule.
Why has a wall been elevated to such status in the game from being nothing other than a defensive tactic, to a right of exclusivity in favour of one side? Particularly since a free kick is awarded due to foul play.
How many defending players are required for such a formation to be recognised as a wall?
What is the minimum distance from the wall that an attacking player can stand to be classed as not interfering?
Suppose the ref sprays the ten yard line then a couple of attacking players stand there before the defence get the chance to form their wall, what then?

1) If a goal is scored which last came off an attacker's hand, no matter what the circumstances, it doesn't count and,
2) Entirely separately to 1), a clearer definition of when a handball will be given based on some definition of a "natural silhouette".
1) is rather vaguely extended to include creating the chance. That'll be clear as mud when VAR spots that a breakaway goal started with a "natural silhouette" handball two passes ago in the scoring team's penalty area. I'd also love to see the "natural silhouette" definition. We'll need it for jumping, sliding tackle, standing tackle, in the wall, defending a cross, defending your body when the ball's hit at you etc etc...

It's been defined as 1 metre from the wall. Refs will police this as a 1 metre exclusion zone from the 10 yard marker.

The penalty rule is absolutely stupid for the excitement in football.
It means we’d never have the possibility of anything like this happening again which is one of the best moments of recent football IMO and shows why the game is special.
