New rules for 19/20
Discussion
Obviously VAR is on the horizon but some new rules coming in next season:
-All handballs by the attacking team in the lead up to a goal will result in the goal being disallowed, even if its accidental.
-Attacking players will not be allowed to stand in the wall at freekicks
-Tightening up with goalkeepers must have a foot in contact with the goal line (or in line with it) when the penalty is taken, they also are not allowed to move and touch the goal posts
-Players when subbed have to leave the field by the nearest point, not by walking to the bench area
-Stronger powers for refs to award red and yellow cards to managers and other staff on the touchline
-No contested drop balls, the ball instead will be returned to the team in possession when the game stopped
I can see the goalkeeping penalty rule being very marginal and causing some pundits to spit their dummies, but otherwise some reasonable changes there.

I think there might be another one whereby at a goal kick, the ball doesn't have to leave the penalty area before it is touched. It will stop the practice of a defender just stepping inside the box if he is closed down by an attacker as happens now by those teams that play the ball out from the back.
What i would like to see is two things concerning goalkeepers
1) the refs enforce the 6 sec handling rule
2) the game clock stops once the ball is out of play behind the goal line and a goal kick is the result
clock restarts once kicker touches the ball
These two minor things will make it more fair and hopefully the refs grow some to give the time wasting buggers a card the third time it happens. ( having given them two verbals) and not it the 89th minute as usually happens

I'd like 2 law changes:
You can't bring on sub goalie if yours gets sent off, only if he's injured. The outfield player going in goal is sadly missing from today's game.
The offside law, there must 2 players from the defending team (one of which is normally the goalie) between the attacking teams furthest forward player and the goal, to be changed to there must be 1 outfield player. Fed up of goalies coming for crosses, making a hash of it and finding themselves in no mans land, and play going on because the defender is now the only player back, the attacker is called offside. The defending team gain an advantage from having an idiot as a goalie.

So keepers can't dance around but penalty takers will still get away with little shuffles / false steps etc? I know they're not meant to, but I'm sure they still are?
I'm agreed they need to be in contact with the line, but both sides of it need to be fair.
Attacking team has the advantage of a feign etc, nothing wrong with that as long as it's in line with the Laws of the Game.I'm agreed they need to be in contact with the line, but both sides of it need to be fair.
Why should they not get an advantage if they've been awarded a penalty kick?

I worded my original post poorly... I have no problem as long as it is within the rules, but this has certainly been pushed in the past few years.I'm agreed they need to be in contact with the line, but both sides of it need to be fair.

A keeper I know that has played at a decent semi-pro level always used to stand a yard behind the goal line at penalties so that when he sprung forward to get himself moving, he hadn't gone over the line and run the risk of any save being disallowed. Used to save more than a usual % of them, too.
