Admin phantom Posted May 23, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I see that there are new rules being brought into the game from June 1st, some interesting - some just plain obvious. . . . Law 1 - the field of play Logos permitted on corner flags (previously banned). Mix of artificial and natural surfaces allowed on field of play (previously banned). Law 3 - the players If a substitute, sent-off player or match official interferes with play, causing the game to be stopped, it will result in a direct free-kick or penalty (previously indirect free-kick or drop-ball). If a substitute, team official or outside agent stops a ball going into the goal, the referee can apply the advantage rule and award a goal. Law 4 - the players' equipment Players wearing undershorts or tights have to make sure they are the same colour as those worn by any team-mates - and they must also match their shorts. A player leaving the field of play to change their boots can only be allowed back on by the referee. Law 5 - the referee Referees have the authority to take action from when they enter the field of play for the pre-match inspection, not from the start of the game - which means players could be sent off for an offence committed while warming up. But yellow cards can only be issued from the start of the match. Players injured by opponents who are then sent off do not need to leave the pitch for treatment. Law 7 - duration of the match Time taken for drinks breaks can now officially be added on at the end of a game. Law 8 - the start and restart of play The ball no longer has to move forward at a kick-off - it just has to move for the game to start. Referees should not 'manufacture' dropped ball situations, in terms of who takes them, or the outcome. Law 10 - Determining the outcome of a match Deciding which end a penalty shootout should take place is to be done by a coin-toss, subject to condition of the pitch, or safety concerns. It is no longer the referee's choice. A team with more players than the other when the shootout starts must reduce the number of takers so they have the same number of eligible players - this will stop teams who have had a player sent off having their better penalty takers available sooner. Law 11 - offside Hands and arms are not included when judging offside. Free-kicks for offside can be taken from where the offside player received the ball. Law 12 - fouls and misconduct A free-kick or penalty can only be awarded while the ball is in play. Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity in the penalty area is no longer a straight red card - unless the offence is holding, pulling or pushing; there's no attempt to play or no possibility of making a challenge; or it's an offence which is punishable by a red card, no matter where on the pitch it happens - violent conduct, for example. Violent conduct is punishable by a red card even if no contact is made. An offence against a match official will result in a direct free-kick or penalty. Law 13 - free-kicks When fouls are committed off the pitch when the ball is in play, the match is restarted with a free-kick on the touchline nearest where the incident occurred. A direct free-kick will be awarded for direct free-kick offences - and a penalty could be awarded if it happens parallel to the penalty area. Law 14 - the penalty kick Players who feint to kick the ball once they have taken a run-up when taking a penalty will get booked for unsporting behaviour. Feinting in the run-up is allowed. And goalkeepers who come off their line too early will also be booked. Law 15 - the throw-in Opposing players who try to impede a throw-in will be cautioned if they are standing under two metres away. Law 17 - the corner kick The wording has been changed in the laws to say: "The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves." This is to stop players "unsportingly" touching the ball and pretending the corner has not been taken, to gain an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a video online a few weeks back where a ball boy stopped a ball rolling into an empty net - guess the ref can award the goal now?

1960maaan Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Law 1, isn't our pitch a mix already? Law 5 , Players injured by opponents who are then sent off do not need to leave the pitch for treatment. about time Law 12 , sending off for cynical fouls, I can see that being interesting. Law 14 , good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 No manufacturing of drop balls either. Hopefully this means a return to good old fashioned contested dropped balls again. Always a farce when you're attacking and the ball ends up back with your keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Until the authorities punish persistent fouling with 10 minute sin-bins, and use video technology in some instances, with say 3 challenges per side permitted during a match, then football refereeing will remain in the dark ages.

downendcity Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Will there be new rules for offsides, free kicks and penalties and a new version of "Fergie" time at Old Trafford now that Mourinho has taken over at Man U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Law 4. What about goalkeepers undershorts? If the keeper has different colour shorts to out fields players, he can't wear a pair that match both his both own shorts and undershorts that are the same colour as his team mates' undershorts. And what if the referee spots such an infringement? Will we see the linesmen hold down Richard O'Donnell while the referee de-bags him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 As is said, some interesting ones. Not sure if these are the actual words used in the law changes, or somebody's summary of them. If the former, my OCD hates some of the drafting; Law 3 - no advantage rule allows a goal currently to be awarded were the ball has not crossed the goal line. Therefore applying it makes no sense. Simply should just say '...the referee can award a goal'. Law 4 should just say undershorts or tights must be the same colour as the players shorts. Law 8, not a drafting point, but I think it is saying a referee should not manufacture it. Players can chose to just have one player boot it back, but a referee should not have any part in encouraging it, or even insisting on it, which feels right Law 13, no idea what it means about parallel to the penalty area. Lines can be parallel, not areas. If talking about the lines that make up the area, you could be parallel to them anywhere on the pitch, depending what direction you are running. I assume it simply means to extend the point that if the foul is committed off the pitch, but the nearest touch line is part of the penalty area, that a penalty should be given. Breath.

I don't think you will find this will change, I think it's just confirmation that Referees can not advise a player what to do ( on this point, referees have not been allowed to do this anyway) it's all down to the players to decide if they want to contest a drop ball.
