New rules for next season

Don't agree with some of these handball rules and the penalty rule will mean that practically every penalty, unless taken by us will be scored.
 
This is interesting

When there is a ‘wall’ of three or more defenders, the attackers are not allowed within 1m (1yd) of the wall; an attacker less than 1m (1yd) from the ‘wall’ when the kick is taken will be penalised with an indirect free kick.

So if the opposition has a free kick in good goal scoring position, we'd be better off standing in the wall & being penalized with an indirect free kick?
 
And this

The goalkeeper must not be touching the goalposts/crossbar/nets; they must not be moving.

Does that mean the goalpost must not be moving, or the goalkeeper? Presume the former?

It means the attacking team cannot place attackers in the wall or do what Forest did with Stuart Pearce and push the wall, as they have to be at least 1 metre away. Defenders gain advantage again.

Pants could wear a boot size slightly larger than required and stand on line and penalty spot at same time.

What!!

"So if the opposition has a free kick in good goal scoring position, we'd be better off standing in the wall & being penalized with an indirect free kick?"

Lets analyse that for one minute.

If the opposition have a free kick in a good goal scoring position....

That would mean the opposition are attacking and we are defending.

".....we'd be better off standing in the wall & being penalized with an indirect free kick?"

As we are the defending side we are the bloody wall; we cannot be penalised as we are not the attacking side.
