New Football Rules

Some interesting new rules coming into effect from next season from the IFAB (football lawmakers)

1. Accidental Handball goals won't count.

As it says really, any goal scored by the hand or arm won't count, regardless if the intention was deliberate or accidental. (Aguero scored one recently that as he slid bounced off his arm, correctly given as a goal but if happened next season will be disallowed)

2. Substituted players can leave the pitch at the closest point

Hopefully stopping the 90minute subs of a player taking an age to walk to the dugout once substituted, any substituted player can now leave the pitch at the nearest point.

3. No attacking players in the wall.

Attackers must now stand 1 meter away from the wall, to stop defenders being moved out the way.

There was a rumour that a rule was coming in to stop goals being scored from rebounds from penalties, this rule will not come in to affect next season as it stands.

Sky last night said it was coming in for next season

"2. Substituted players can leave the pitch at the closest point."

Stanley Josh....
I think the rule is that a player who is subbed HAS to leave the pitch by the nearest touchline.
If it was ...."He CAN leave the pitch by the nearest touchline then he would still choose the 'Longest Walk' if his team were winning!

Sky have now admitted they were wrong about the penalty rebounds. Law stays as at present.

it this substitute thing CAN or HAS. can see a problem happening if a player has to walk round half the ground passing opposition supporters to get back to the bench or dressing rooms. will armed escorts be available for em at places like the new den.

Just let the game go on while the change is being made (unless the player going off IS hurt) keeping the sub off till the player has left the pitch, think they will get off a hell of a lot quicker.

Surely he walks round the half containing his own supporters?

Not many clubs as generous as Stanley in giving away fans half their stadium.

Do they have armed escorts running up and down the wing while the game is in progress looking after the wide players

Only a matter of time.

When a player is injured the refs watch is supposed to stop so if he takes ten seconds or 5 minutes shouldn't matter, the refs should make it obvious that the time has stopped though.
These idiots at the F.A. are slowly ruining the great game. The biggest problem with today's game are all the fairies up and down the park.

what came first the sweet FA or the sweet fairies. when the laws of the game penalise a player for anything but a perfect tackle you,ll get players who behave in a way our fathers and grandfathers would be totally ashamed of. we have two options keep going to games and moan or just pack up, stay at home and remember the good old days where as harry storer said no player likes being kicked but some like it less than others.
