Didn't get to the game yesterday, so can't be sure. But watching games on MoTD it looks like players are still walking to the half way line to be substituted. Didn't the rule change this season?

Wnkr Warnock and Pulis teams will ignore all that.

I think it’s aimed at players that go to the furthest part of the pitch before they are substituted, more of a threat rule really.

Hopefully be enhanced by some kind of machine to roll that apparently mortally injured player that extra six inches over the touchline so that play can continue.

Probably only used in the last 10 mins to save time wasting, otherwise who cares

Did a Spurs player get a yellow last night for not going off at the nearest point?

No, he got a yellow for being a Spurs player.

These new rule changes seem a little harsh then
As long as it's fairly applied to all Spur's players there isn't an issue
