It will be interesting to see how well refs implement these. They incorporate a couple of changes I posted/suggested last season. Particularly happy with the multi ball, stopping the all in wrestling in the box, time wasting, how to handle injuries, calculating added time properly which may help curb time wasting tactics, the prevention of a quick restart by not retiring the full 10 yards immediately. I fully expect a flurry of cards in the opening few games but players, coaches and managers learn quickly and I'm sure by early October we will start to see the first ruses to get round the changes.

I like the rule that players should be treated off the field of play.
Always thought the multi-ball was optional, each club decided what they wanted to do with the only caveat that they couldn't change mid game.
Just hope we don't end up with silly amounts of added on time like we did in the World Cup

I think we will see loadsa added time in the opening few weeks until teams realise that time wasting no longer works because there's half an hour added time every game... (purposely exaggerated)Originally Posted by SithHappens

on balance this is good for us because last season I think we were more sinned against than sinned. I'm not sure if somewhere in here either explicitly or implicitly there's reference to goalkeepers wasting their time taking goalkicks - drove me mad last year, although I will admit Wildsmith was no angel on it

Assume they have decided to knock adding more time on on the head, and also decided not to bother with the rules about treating players off the field instead.
