A point I've made on many an occasion both here and elsewhere. I stand by my opinion that, if it takes more than 30 seconds to decide the ref made a clear and obvious error, then he didn't make one.

Quite likely there's some new Law changes coming in that will confuse things further.

Offside. Players will have to be entirely past the last defender in order to be given offside. Won't change the millimetre decisions, just move it a couple of feet further forward.

The current 6 second rule for keepers that gets totally ignored by both keepers and refs may be changing to 8 seconds starting from the moment the keeper has the ball under control. That will lead to a flurry of free kicks and cards for a month and then die a death.
