30 seconds is quite a long time to come back on. Or does that include the actual sideline treatment. 

Agree. So one of your players gets fouled. Your player has to leave the field of play to have treatment and cannot come back on for at least 30 seconds. Looks like the offending team gets an advantage??

Don't see how this has been Americanised at all. The changes are about getting more time with the ball in play.

too many rules all open to interpretations from the ref. It will as always favour the big clubs guaranteed.

Yes, they’ll sit there having a chat, other players will come for a drink and a bit of a chat and then they’ll take another 2 minutes setting the free kick up after. At the very least the ref should make them set the free kick up ready to take while the player receives treatment so that as soon as he’s on his feet the game starts.

Sometimes it's the ref who's wasting time at freekicks especially ones within site of a goal.. The option of taking it quickly in those cases seems to have vanished.

Something tells me this won't be enforced properly.

Yep, think it'll be inconsistent. Some refs will do it well. Others will forget it's a thing.

Most of the laws already exist or were seen as standard practice but when you have players and managers using the lack of clarification of specific laws to their advantage often spoiling the spectator enjoyment/value for money then of course you need to introduce definition to those laws.

 

Players injured used to just get up and carry on playing not wanting the opposition to see they've been hurt now there seems to be great pride in taking advantage of injuries to the point of faking or exaggerating them.
