Changes to the laws of the game for the 2016/17 season

[Seagull58]

They should address manhandling and wrestling in the area before a corner or free kick is taken by allowing the referee to award a penalty or free kick before the ball is kicked into play.

Need to be more like rugby with a sin bin where players can be sent for 10-mins for persistent dissent

 

[Sheebo]

Announced on Thursday, the new laws also state the ball will also be able to move in any direction from kick-off, rather than only move forward.

Good - never understood this one - it makes a kick off slightly awkward. It's like you have to control a slightly mis-placed pass just to start the game
