"Breaking news. At the FIFA World Club Championship IFAB have agreed that the referees will wear microphones and be audible to the crowd. and TV audience so that decisions can be explained.

Also, the World Cup strict timekeeping leading to much more added time is to be adopted in all football going forward."

Discuss!

1) Will last about a month if widely adopted
2) Difficult for Howard Webb/PL/EFL/FA to ignore if it does indeed become an official edict from IFAB.

Isn't that the point though ?
All the while they think they can get away with it, they will continue to do so.
It will only take a couple of weeks of cracking down, cards being properly issued and suspensions to kick in before they stopped.


Players will always find ways to bend the laws to suit them and their team though.We saw that with Peterborough last season with their concussion substitution.
The laws get quietly dropped rather the players adapt to them.

Has the law about moving free kicks forward for dissent been abolished PP?


Ages ago - some countries were getting 'confused by it' apparently!

I also remember in some cases moving it forward 10 yards actually made it harder. Teams weren't given the choice if they wanted it ten yards forward or not, it HAD to be moved!

Yes, more seriously after my flippant remark, also it was worth it in some cases as (yet another) delaying tactic and chance to organise the defence properly.
