Not sure if everyone has seen these new rules or not. Like them or hate them they are coming for next season.

Premier League: Six Confirmed Rule Changes to Come Into Effect in 2019/20
As has been well-documented, VAR will be introduced in the Premier League for the first time next season which - in theory - should help officials manage the game much more effectively.
However, VAR isn't the only change we should be anticipating in the Premier League next season. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have approved a number of changes to the current laws of the game which will come into force on June 1 2019, meaning that the Premier League will have to become accustomed to an array of new rules.
Here are six rule changes which will be enforced in the Premier League in 2019/20.
Handballs
Goals will now be ruled out in cases where the ball accidentally strikes a player's hand before crossing over the line and, if a player has accidentally handled the ball and created an advantage or subsequently scores, they will be penalised with a free kick.
Free Kicks
Attacking teams will no longer be allowed to have a player lining up in a defensive wall as, when a wall of three or more players is constructed, an attacking player will not be allowed to stand within one metre. The change has been made as an attacking player's presence in a wall is not deemed to be within the 'spirit of the game'.
Penalties
It's not all good news for goalkeepers, however. Officials will be much more stringent when it comes to penalty kicks next season as keepers must have at least part of one foot on or in line with the goal-line when the spot kick is taken.
In addition to this, keepers will also be prohibited from moving on the goal-line or from touching their goalposts.
Substitutions
In an attempt to reduce the amount of time-wasting that occurs during the later stages of matches, players won't be able to get away from taking themselves over to the opposite side of the pitch before being substituted.
Players will now be made to leave the pitch at the nearest point on the touchline, preventing them from slowly walking the length of the pitch before being taken off.
Yellow and Red Cards for Managers
The more outspoken managers in the league will have to watch themselves next season, as they will be punished in the same manner as their players for testing the patience of officials.
Managers will be awarded yellow and red cards for any poor behaviour on the touchline and if, in the event of a touchline melee for example, the offending individual cannot be identified for punishment, the senior coach who is in the technical area will be the default recipient.
Drop Balls
The drop ball rule has been a bit of mystery for quite some time, but it now looks to be a thing of the past.
Next season we will not be seeing any contested drop balls and the ball will simply be returned to the team who last touched the ball before play was halted. If the game was stopped in the penalty area then the ball will be given to the goalkeeper.
No problem with any of them, but will they be enforced, especially for Colin.
Not sure about the keeper moving on the line... if that's not 'fair' then should a player be able to sell any kind of dummy on a run up?
I thought they also changed the law that states from a goal kick the ball must exit the 18 yd box. From next season it doesn't need to go out of the box
They all sound reasonable to me although I still expect strong appeals about handball decisions.
QuoteFree Kicks
Attacking teams will no longer be allowed to have a player lining up in a defensive wall as, when a wall of three or more players is constructed, an attacking player will not be allowed to stand within one metre. The change has been made as an attacking player's presence in a wall is not deemed to be within the 'spirit of the game'.
Seems unusual to me. What happens if a team is awarded a free-kick and then one of their players immediately goes and stands 10 yards away in the direction of the goal? Will the defending team be barred from forming a wall around them or will the attacking player be asked to leave their position?
So is this Prem only?

Its going to be interesting when a free kick is given for a back pass.
It will be like a penaltly with a wall...!!
Three rules I'd like to see changed are...
1 - Throw ins - to be taken from where the ball went out. Not using the place of where the ball went out as a starting run up.
2 - The ball placed in the quadrant on corners and goal kicks. I know that the ball is OK if it touches the outside edge of the marking, but more often than not on the side with no linesman its outside as no official to see it.
3 - If a player goes down injured to the point of play having to be stopped. Then player after treatment or just gets up must go off for 90 secs for injury recovery. This is aimed to stop feigning injury.

If a player is injured, the ref can wave a medic on and he is considered not in play and treated on the spot. When ok, he must go off the field at the nearest point until waved on by the ref.
If they can treat a player on the pitch in rugby, they surely can in football. Overnight that will stop feigning injury.
The way I see it is, handball is handball. None of this "ball to hand" nonsense. You either ban a ball hitting a hand/arm, or you don't. There shouldn't be a grey area. Actually a pet peeve of mine.

So you could deliberately kick the ball to hit somebody's hand in the area to get a penalty
Is this a wind up?
4. I'd like to see a rule that if a player gets a head injury with no subs left, then a player from the bench gets randomly selected (maybe using a dice) to come in for him.

Sadly these changes are not a wind up.

Yet this is already happening.
The best one is,if you think you don't agree with the result at the end of the game you can try and get it changed by going on a march with some friends.
Now where have I seen this before. :023: :023: :023:

I would like to see a bit more emphasis on throw ins. As you say sometimes the advantage gained by the dark arts of walking along the line with the ball, a staggered start feigning looking for options or the ridiculous theatre of dropping the ball, wiping it and gaining up to ten yards. I am slightly bitter about it as we are rubbish at it. However worse than all of that is the total disregard of the technical aspect of a throw in. We have seen some break all the rules unpunished now to the point where coaching it at grass roots level is becoming really sloppy.
These are all the rule changes made by the IFAB as they will in future appear in the Rules of the Game for referees etc. Note the additions and the ones about the team winning the toss and, as someone else mentioned, the ball is now in play from a goal kick immediately after it is touched. (https://www.the-ra.org/news/ifab-law-changes-2019-2020 (https://www.the-ra.org/news/ifab-law-changes-2019-2020))
Agree with those arguing for tighter controls on legitimate throw ins and where they are taken from. I am really surprised they have not tidied up the offside rule to make it clearer about what constitutes interfering with play (any attacker in the penalty box in an offside position for example).

Actually, it never used to be an issue. If the ball hit your arm or hand it was obviously an accident or unavoidable or yiou were protecting your face or delicate parts no ref gave it... now those things are often given. I think handball has to have an element of intent. Personally i think the 'sportsmanship' element has gone out of the game and the players have caused this stuipd state of affairs with their loathsome cheating ways.
I look forward to the first instance of a substituted player pretending to forget the new rule about departing the pitch, so heading 20 metres towards dugouts then theatrically playing the "deary me I forgot" card to head back in the opposite direction. Will happen and probably in the first round of games.

Well, Kompany in the FA cup final should have been penalised for a handball. Guaranteed if it was one of our players, they would have been.
It was handball. It hit his arm.
I don't disagree with any of them but the laws - not rules - of the game should be applied evenly i.e. :- to all an sundry at all levels.
My old club I played for now sunk to combined counties league are introducing sin bin periods next season.
All wrong in my book.
The hand-ball rule continues to be as clear as mud.

It does i agree, but the big problem is when a referee makes a decision on a hand ball , whichever way he makes it , he is besieged but players.

My complaint is that if you get a player injured, he has to leave the pitch, but the opposition then have a man advantage. The player committing the offence should have to leave the pitch also, until your player can return.
Nothing about refs actually penalising players who wrap there arms around the oppostion players, esp at corners, or grabbing jerseys. Shame.

Don't think that needs a rule change, since I am pretty sure it is not allowed according to the rules. This doesn't seem to be about implementation directives.
