World Cup overlords seeing sense

[Donnywolf]

Apparently,  something that has irked us for ages,  tactical keeper stoppages are to be " negated" by not allowing Players off for tactical briefings


They aren't changing the Rules but will issue a guide as to what will happen
 Our old favourite ... all players into Centre Circle seems popular with them


Also looking at VAR being allowed to flag up attacking fouls at Corners before kick is taken


Good on both

I hope the potential changes last longer than some previous changes have done.
Do you remember one of the World Cups a few years ago when loads of penalties were awarded when defenders grappled attackers to the ground.
By the time it got to the knockout stages it was almost back to “normal”.

What chance will it stand though in a game riddled with cheating.

Disgusted (but not at all surprised) to see Arteta last night blatantly cheating , yet he and his fellow Managers mope when opponents cheat

Anybody see him ? PSG were on a ( rare ) quick break and Arsenal player put ball into touch in Artetas technical area. PSG player grabbed ball off the plynth to take quick throw in but ..... too late Arteta was quicker slinging Ball from his technical area straight back on to pitch  ... stopping PSGs attack stone dead

[i_ateallthepies]

If I read it right there will be no cards issued for any player who chooses against the guidance to still go to the touchline.  So nobody will bother complying.

The tactical sit down with sore legs from keepers, is not just so managers can change tactics, it is mainly used to stop momentum of the opposing team.
Whilst I welcome any rule looking to end this situation, it won’t stop the main reason behind it, and I’m not sure any rule will.

Have a rule that the goalie has to leave the field like any other 'injured' player and an outfield player has to go in goal until there is a break in play enough for the goalie to come back, and let's see how many goalie 'injurues' we have then...

[jmt23]

Yeah, I’ve heard all these before, but there will be a break in play whilst he puts gloves on, and he will take his time.

We’ve all seen it before, pushing for an important point or win, Rovers are in full swing, crosses flashing over, shots piling in, only for players to go down, may only be down for a minute - but the momentum goes.

It’s totally frustrating and killing the game

[Donnywolf]

And the 5 seconds for taking a throw in is ludicrous .

When will the count begin ? If its when the thrower gets it then like now the ball will take 30 seconds to get to them.

Goal kicks are going to have a countdown as well but as above if it starts when Keeper puts it down he will have taken at least 25 seconds to get it there

Ive seen at Keepmoat keepers on 1000 plus a week " failing to stop " a ball rolled to them by Ball Boy all to.take at least 30 seconds to put ball back in play

Every one of them seems to have an inbuilt " chip " which ensures they hardly ever kick ball back in play quicker that 30 seconds unless of course the result is against them

Or bizarrely they seem to take much less even 10 seconds less when playing it to player (s) on 6 yard line or vice versa

I think the five seconds will start when the ref puts his hand up, like they do with goal kicks now.

Grappling from corners are to be scrutinized, and any goals scored will be looked at on VAR and will result in goals chalked off or penalties given, England are said to be the worst culprits

[drfchound]

I thought grappling at corners was always scrutinised.
I sometimes find it astonishing though  when after yet another melee one of the VAR judges tells us that no fouls were committed and then the co commentator says their wasn't sufficient contact for a foul to be given. ..... when everyone can see people being pulled to the floor.

Yes, mate, and another one is when the commentator states that there was a tug on the shirt, but not enough to give a penalty.

Since when did shirt pulling become a legal part of the game?

[Danmckay456]

The Var used at previous tournaments was better than in the premier league. At least it was quicker more decisive decisions other than the Americanised time out decisions in the premier league

[roversdude]

And now they’ve banned refillable bottles hmmmmm wonder why

Then however long it takes is how long the goalie has to stay off the field for.

And as for putting the arms round someone but not actually touching them, it's obstruction plain and simple. Indirect free kick.

But when was the last time you saw an indirect free kick given for anything? It seems to have disappeared from the game, like player-managers.

[jmt23]

Glyn - my point is not the keeper being on or off, but the break in play disrupting any momentum.

And my point was creating a disincentive to do it.
