lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I heard that this had been proposed but thought it would've been disregarded Quote When a defending team has three or more players in a wall, the attacking team can no longer place a player in or next to it. I didn't think the word "wall" was terminology within the rulebook. What then constitutes a "wall"? How far apart do the defenders have to be not to be considered a "wall"?

Jagtastic Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Players being subbed having to leave the field at nearest point to touch line rather than halfway is positive from time wasting perspective imo. Would like to see by kicks having to be taken from the side of goal the ball went out of play, same as corners, to cut down on keepers taking the piss too.

Firhillista Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 If I've read it right, the change to the goalie handling rule means that the free kick given against Sneddon for handling in the East Fife game wouldn't have occurred under these new rules, so that's an improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hand ball section will take a bit of digesting for me. The cards for coaches doesn't seem proportionate but I would expect managers and coaches would have had some input to these rule changes or is that being naive.

Exiled AusJag Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) This link gives far clearer explanations than the BBC http://theifab.com/document/for-football-bodies It should also be remembered that referees don't just read the law changes, but have to attend seminars about them, and workshop the applications and outcomes. I'll be interested to see the coming "debates" around them, especially handball, but when you look at the changes to that particular law it makes it far easier to interpret. Red and yellow cards in the technical area should hopefully temper the behaviour there, especially if the actual offender can't be identified, then the senior coach in the technical area gets the card. So it's up to the coach to keep his officials in check. Teams having the option of choice of ends of kick off at the coin toss is reverting back to the same as it used to be years ago, when the choice having kick off was removed. The BBC didn't mention the change to the "back pass" law. From this season if the ball is deliberately kicked to the GK by a team mate, or he receives it directly from a team mates throw in, he can handle it if he CLEARLY kicks or ATTEMPTS to kick the ball to release it into play Edited July 13, 2019 by Exiled AusJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 The change to the ball having to leave the area before it is in play was designed to stop a player wasting time by going into the box to receive the ball thus forcing the bye-kick to be retaken. But if the attacking players are not allowed in the box whats to stop the keeper taking a short kick and him/her and the defender watching the ball for some time?

Attacking player can enter box as soon as ball is struck. It is one of these law changes that is fair enough for adults, but actually makes things harder for kids, especially in their first year at 11s.

My own immediate thoughts too, I didn't think 'wall' was official terminology - indeed, how do you interpret/enforce this rule? One of my long term moans has been about throw ins. This is football, not handball, not gaelic football, not rugby etc etc. I think the ball should be played in from the touchline with the feet. Maybe, that's just because we've always seem so sheyte at throw ins right enough ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played some games many many years ago where the throw ins were replaced by kick ins. It was just a summer league, nothing if note and I have no idea who or whose idea it was, what body was responsible for experimenting. The main rule was that the team taking the throw/kick in had only a short set period in which to take it thus avoiding them being used like a free kick. It was something like 5 or 10 seconds once the ball was retrieved. The main idea was to keep the game flowing which as I remember, it did. Because of the short time you had to take the kick the focus was on keeping possession and short kicks were the norm. If you were right up the pitch attacking and the opposition were chasing to get back there would be benefit of hoofing it into the area but cos you only had 5 to 10 seconds accuracy was in short supply.

policemans whistle Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Re players sent off having to leave the field at the nearest touchline, going to be fun at a old firm game at Ibrox and parkhead when a visitor player gets a red.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I like the idea of a subbed player leaving by the quickest route. However I feel it would be unfair if a player being subbed because he's injured having to limp round the perimeter and expect refs will maybe just apply the status quo in such cases. If that be the case I'd expect to see a subbed player suddenly discovering an injury when about to leave the pitch.

The Law change allows for refs to let players leave at halfway as before in “hostile situations “. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 On the free kick and wall, it says that an attacking player can’t be within 1 yard of the wall when the ball is kicked. What is to stop a couple of players disrupting the wall, then running out as the kicker starts their run up ? Could cause all sorts of disruption if you get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could cause all sorts of disruption if you get it right Don't think your scenario is possible. "When a defending team has three or more players in a wall, the attacking team can no longer place a player in or next to it. If an attacker is standing within one yard (1m) of the wall when the kick is taken, they will be penalised with an indirect free-kick." A good defence for a free kick would be to have a two man wall. As the kicker runs up, a third player joins the wall and, as the ball is hit, any nearby attacker is penalised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm not really sure what was wrong from a footballing point of view with having an attacker in the wall. I get the impression that Fifa looked upon that tactic as gamesmanship and hence the rule change. I can't say I ever thought it so and can't see the footballing benefit of the new rule.

elevenone Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Was that a new rule in force last night when ref got in the way of an attack of ours and after 30secs or so awarded a free kick in same spot once the move broke down? From my vantage point away the length of the pitch I did not see any other reason for the awarding of the free kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave a bounce ball but it should have been a free kick as the ref's interference caused possession to be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drop ball (uncontested) where the player last touched it was the correct decision according to the new rules. The 30 seconds play before awarding it I’m less sure about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
