I’ll join you.I have to say ….I read the FA document and will need to wait for the Janet and John version
So some takeaways from the Community Shield on the new rules…
1. Don’t kick the ball away when a free kick is given against you.
2. Make your substitutions quickly and don’r dawdle any more getting off the pitch….
They will add the proper time on and no longer make up some fictional number totally unrelated to hour time wasting.
Plus you pick up the ball, you take the throw.we need to add one of yours Skoorb
when a free kick is awarded, one of the opposition stands right in front of the ball so it can't be taken quickly or forward and on many occasions you find that the ball is played side ways.
Long throw ins OK, but why should the ref allow time for players to form up like it was a corner, a big time waster
I’d go further - you’re nearest the ball when it’s out of play, you take it (& you have 10 seconds to get the ball in play).Plus you pick up the ball, you take the throw.
not made any impact so far but they have reined in the daft added on to reasonable minutes unlike the Community ShieldFrom the BBC article on the start of the new season….
“Yellow cards will be issued to players delaying the restart of play or not retreating the necessary distance at a free-kick.”I will believe the last part when we see it.

It was Coventry City I cant remember the ginger head player who took it, but it was soon outlawed because the ball had not moved forward the full circumference of the ball if I remember rightly (I think they have changed that now)Swedish club contact Ifab after finding loophole in offside law
Torns IF have revealed their discussions with Ifab after raising the issue of the loophole they discovered in the offside lawwww.theguardian.com
This reminds me of that innovative free kick back in the day where the guy stood over the ball with it gripped between his feet.......and he then jumps up with the ball flicking it up vertically for his team mate to volley the ball into the net.
They soon put a stop to that fancy footwork......and I suspect they will kill this as well.
