Quick questions as there seems to be vagueness with everything I read regards the new rules.
1) I was under the impression that with penalties that once a keeper has saved the ball that play stops and a goal kick is given. I am sure this is what was propsed by FIFA but I am guessing it is not as black and white as that otherwise yesterday players would not have been lining up on the edge of the box ready to run in.
2) I also thought players had to exit from the nearest touchline when subbed. Yet yesterday if I recall rightly every player went to the normal place where sunbstitutions take place. Did I miss a player exiting the pitch in line with the new rules?

Re: New Rules
The first one with the penalties was proposed, but they scrapped the idea.
Second one was mentioned during the commentary in the West Ham v Man City game, but I can't say I noticed it this weekend.

Re: New Rules
When a penalty is awarded ..does that go to VAR,thought the United one today was just given and no checks,football is getting awfully confusing

Re: New Rules
I did notice yesterday that all the players substituted at’t Turf left the field at their own dug out. Even Dwight Mcneil who walked slowly over 3/4 the width of the pitch.
Re: New Rules
Only under certain circumstances would we see a difference in the substitute rule. Eg, home teams losing. Other than that it’d be how it was imo.

Re: New Rules
United penalty. The ref kept Rashford waiting until he got the ok from the men at VAR. Didn’t take long as it was quite easy to confirm.
