DETAILS:

Throw-in countdown (five seconds): If a player deliberately delays the restart of play, the throw can be given to the opposition.

Goal-kick countdown (five seconds): Also applies to deliberate attempts to run down the clock and can result in a corner being awarded.

Time-limited substitutions (10 seconds): Substituted players have 10 seconds to leave the field at the nearest point. If they fail to do so, the substitute cannot enter the field for at least one minute and the team must continue with 10 players.

Off-field treatment (one minute): Players who are treated by the physio must stay off the field for 60 seconds. There are some exceptions, including for goalkeepers, injuries and if the opponent is booked or sent off.

Players covering their mouths: Any player covering their mouth in a confrontational situation with an opponent may be sanctioned with a red card.

Corners can be checked: If VAR can make sure that a corner has been correctly awarded, but this must be done quickly and before the restart. Does not apply to wrongly awarded goal-kicks.

Second yellows can be reviewed: Players sent off for two cautions can have the second booking checked - but there will be no reviews for potential second yellows.

Oh, I forgot:

>Goalkeeper timeout
Players will be stopped from going to the technical area to talk to coaches when goalkeepers are injured

Looks like a whole bunch of rules that will never be enforced

>Players covering their mouths: Any player covering their mouth in a confrontational situation with an opponent may be sanctioned with a red card.
lol

>mfw if these rules were in the prem this season arsenal wouldn't have qualified for europe

>Players sent off for two cautions can have the second booking checked - but there will be no reviews for potential second yellows
>single yellow cards in the final competition will be cancelled after the group stage and then again after the quarter-finals
My rig sense is tingling something fierce

>still watches footie in 2026
Game's gone nigga. Move on

>>154962180
It's just what I'm used to whenever there are changes I don't like it. We'll see how these new rules get on.

Complete lunacy

>>154962157
the first 4 already exist but are never enforced
they will be enforced in the first batch of group games and then forgotten about, again

>>154962161

this is based

>Looks like a whole bunch of rules that will never be enforced
The 5 seconds countdowns are visibily done by the referee if he thinks that the action is taking too long.
The alternative would be giving yellow cards for time wasting, and that is something that he will not use except in obvious cases.
>substitutions
10 seconds is a little too short (especially if the subbed off player is fatigued or injured) but they have some wiggle room, I suppose.

>>154962691
this was already in place a foul throw can actually be given if a team keeps changing takers people just decided not to ruin arsenal vibes because it was their netflix docu season or somthing

>>154962157

only good thing

what the fuck is that nonsense

the vinicius law

>>154962977
Inb4 all substituted players for the team in the lead go off on a stretcher (and play the next game anyway)

>>154962157
All good except the mouth-covering and perhaps the second yellow check since it is kind of half-assed and will not solve any controversy (checking both yellows doesn’t make sense either)

>>154962658
no. its just the next step towards a stopped "game in play" time that can be paused to show 5 mins of commercials every 10 mins. the system now doesnt allow this which makes it less attactive to markets than the round based games like football or baseball

>>154962157
What about the quarterly ad breaks?

>>154962157
>>154962161
I don’t have a problem with this

>nooo i can't just shitty third worldesque timewasting bullshit anymore
we're fixing your sport and you will cry and seethe about it

This is Arsenal's fault

as long as the var is converting insignificant and/or disputable offences into pens and willfully ignoring real fouls we're still good

>Players covering their mouths: Any player covering their mouth in a confrontational situation with an opponent may be sanctioned with a red card.

Finally. Lip reading provides a lot of social media content for other sports. People want beefs and personalities, not boring npc ngubus. Pure dimes.

>>154962157
I agree with all of these expect for the not-covering the mouth
Other than flopping, time wasting is the biggest problem football has.
But talking shit is part of the sport. If you can't handle it, you shouldn't be near a ball.

Sounds good

>Players covering their mouths: Any player covering their mouth in a confrontational situation with an opponent may be sanctioned with a red card.

Dogshit rule, clearly to appease vini

I hope they apply the former two to leagues

>>154965594
They're not banning trash talk. They're making it so the viewers can see it. This is a good thing.

>>154965642
More "que miras bobo" less "negro de mierda"
Great trash talking

i can call you a nigger without moving my lips

>>154965791
Well yeah. If someone is ashamed of saying something maybe that's a sign that they need to develop wit, instead of resorting to cheap racism and edgy 12yo insults. Boxers and mma fighters manage just fine making their trash talk public.

holy shit is that why argentina put a ventriloquist on their coaching staff
