Premier League rule changes for next season

[Ric Flair]

Dog shit, all of them. Really becoming tired of football, although it would hurt initially it might be time to pack the fcuker up.

No…. You’d have the ‘Biaggio’ effect where all the attacker needs do is clip the ball into a defenders arm…. Nobody would ever bother shooting at goal again…

If they ever change the defending player handball rule to be similar to feet in hockey then I’m packing it in .....would make the game stupid

Also, you would have a player in full kit wandering around the touchline.  Could be very distracting, you could even imagine a team mate sending a pass over to the subbed player and out of play.

 

If it was any of our players a pass to someone actually playing would still probably find the man walking round the pitch.

That penalty rebound rule is shite. Utter shite. 

 

If they want to stop encroachment, that's easily done via VAR with that being implemented. All you have to do is have someone literally instantly review it on a replay after the penalty is taken and have it retaken or not. There's no need to remove the option for a rebound.

I wonder if the no rebound rule will make the edge of the area a vacant zone which could in turn make the taker more relaxed ???

Agree with handball changes, but why should a defender benefit from an accidental handball when an attacker can't? I still think handballs should be indirect free kicks unless clearly deliberate. 

This. Makes handballs a lot more clearer. Thing is we would hardly see any penalties given for hand ball as most aren't deliberate. 

[WigstonWanderer]

I’ve thought for some time that if a ball is on its way into the goal, but is accidentally deflected away by a defender’s hand/arm, that a penalty should be awarded. VAR allows such decisions to be made more easily.

 

Clearly these rule changes are designed to go hand in hand with VAR and take as much discretion out of the decision making process as possible. VAR can then objectively determine the outcome in much the same way as it does for offside.

This rebound rule change is just so f***ing stupid.

If the keeper saves the ball and it comes back into open play, how does the game restart? A goal kick?

 

What happens if he saves it but it goes out for a corner? Is it still a corner?

 

Why would a ball be a dead ball if it hits the post or bar? The goalkeeper didnt necessarily touch it 

 

Is it just black and white like a penalty shootout? Any kind of miss = end of phase of play?

 

Seems silly. If its about encroaching watch for the encroaching

[foxile5]

Do not understand the rebound rule. Absolutely doggo

Doesn’t even have to be a player on the touch line...

Could just leave their bib on until they’re actually coming on the pitch.

I think he’s referring to someone who has been subbed off and wandering around the pitch 

 

players still have to come on from the half way line

They could swap

[Robin JD Popley]

The one I'm most pleased by is the changes to the rules around substitutions.

 

Winds me up how long it takes some of 'em, including our own, just to get off the pitch.

That's what happens. The watch is stopped and started.If a substitution is going to take as long as a "normal" corner or throw-in the the ref wont stop it.  Every game has added time, so clearly refs do make use of it.

 

So why are they changing the rules then if it's all perfect and hunky dory. This is to stop time wasting, and it's an issue because the refs just chuck on your 30 seconds and don't seem arsed about anything else.

 

In general I'd much prefer a transparent timing system where the clock going on and off is visible like in Rugby.

[norwichfox]

Can only think these rule changes are at Sky;s request (more advertising time?) It can't be anything to do with anybody interested in the game of football.

Maybe another option is to restart the game after 30 seconds, if the player is still on the pitch he receives a card if he interferes in any way with play, and the oncoming player has to wait until he substituted player is in the technical area. That would get them moving.  

[KrefelderFox666]

There will always be rule changes in the game, nothing remains constant. I agree with these changes. The only real alternative to preventing time wasting is to stop the clock when the ball is out of play and only restart once the game resumes, then cut the halves to 30 minutes.

 

A big point that should be addressed (properly) is diving and players trying to con the referees. This needs to be stamped down on with harsher penalties to individuals who do it. The idea of post-game reviews (or VAR if available) is a good idea. However, the post-game reviews have been pretty terrible/non-existent. It needs work.

 

I can get used to the idea of no rebounds in a penalty. If someone can't hit the back of the net from 12 yards then it's their own fault. A suggested change to that rule, maybe the penalty taker and the goalkeeper are the only ones allowed in the area. If the shooter misses the ball is still alive but only the goalkeeper and the penalty taker are allowed to touch the ball in the area. Only once the ball has gone back out of the area (e.g. hits the post and comes out or the penalty taker plays a pass to a team mate) can the other players get involved again.

[KrefelderFox666]

Or maybe you could have a penalty like in hockey/ice hockey. Player gets the ball from the halfway line and has a 1 on 1 with the keeper, and say a 20 second time limit to score.

They should be taking rules away, not adding more of them

Totally agree. It never seems to get looked at this way unfortunately...

[RowlattsFox]

Time wasting definitely needs addressing, I wouldn't go as far as stopping the clock at every stoppage but it should be stopped at substitutions, injuries and even goal celebrations can sometimes take an age to get restarted, even more so if there is going to be VAR checks. The only reason rules need changing is because players and managers are cheating bastards and will try to find some sort of advantage.

They trailed that in a tournament (USA possibly) but from around 25 yards out. 

 

That’s just a change for change sake, although I’m not saying the current changes are any better. 

[ealingfox]

Few people saying they aren't actually doing the penalty rebounds one and that it was dropped late last year

The sub thing is great, but is going to lead to away players having to run the gauntlet round the sidelines to get back to the bench at a few grounds. Imagine being a West Ham player having to do that at Millwall. 

Exactly what I was about to post word for word, using the same example. 

 

Remember Chilwell being too intimidated to take a throw in at the Den a couple of years back?
