Changes To "laws Of The Game"

I noticed during "The Euros" that there has been a few changes to the laws of the beautiful game.

The first, obvious one was that, at Kick-Off, the ball can be kicked in any direction.

Did anyone notice this one.

 

Leaving the field after treatment

 

“If a player is injured from a challenge which is punished by a red or yellow card, he can have quick treatment on the field of play and does not have to leave. It always seemed unfair that the victim team was down to 10 men and the guilty team has 11 against 10"

 

Common sense at last.

Doing away with the triple jeopardy for the goalie is also sound. A penalty, a red card and a subsequent suspension was way OTT.

Players will continue to feign injury solely in order to get the opponent red or yellow carded. I think this could encourage even more cheating of that kind.

I thought it applied to outfield players as well, apart from serious foul play or violent conduct?

The IFAB has released a 48 page book outlining the details of the changes. The change to the DOGSO law applies to all players, not just goalkeepers

Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring

 

opportunity by a deliberate handball offence the player is sent off wherever the

 

offence occurs.

 

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own

 

penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and

 

the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned unless:

 

 

 

• The offence is holding, pulling or pushing or

 

• The offending player does not attempt to play the ball or there is no

 

 

 

 

possibility for the player making the challenge to play the ball or

 

 

 

• The offence is one which is punishable by a red card wherever it occurs on

 

 

 

 

the field of play (e.g. serious foul play, violent conduct etc.)

 

In all the above circumstances the player is sent off.

Just wondering if they've rescinded the John Terry law yet - the one where JT alone may harangue the life out of refs following a decision with which he's not 100% satisfied; oh, and where he may be ably assisted by up to a further six Chelsea players.

 

Maybe with Mr Terry enjoying a further 12 month extension to his contract, the authorities will defer scrapping that law for another year. Makes sense.
