To be introduced in the summer. Yet another Fifa Rule Change that we don't need. Allegedly to speed up the game.
We used to have a 6 second rule for goalkeepers, that if breached should result in an indirect free kick. Only problem was that referees didn't enforce the law consistently so it fell into dis repute. Breaching the new law will result in a corner kick to the opposition. At the highest level suggesting an 8 second countdown on the scoreboards. TV theatre .
We don't need constant Law Changes ,just Match Officials to enforce consistently the current ones.
