Some interesting changes.

Looking forward to "leave the field at the nearest point" and "uncontested drop ball to the team in possession at the point the game was stopped". The "goal kick not needing to leave the box" should help us as well as Liverpool and Man City. |  | | |  |

Most of the changes are sensible, but I find it incredible that the ambiguities around the hand ball law have been replaced with another set of ambiguities. Can anyone tell me what "unnaturally bigger" means? it can be argued that any normal athletic action involves the arms moving away from the body - so that arms being at a distance from the body is entirely natural. Are 100m sprinters pumping their arms away from their bodies in an unnatural way? Clearly not.
There is an obvious and clearcut definition available for hand ball - namely that a handball is committed if the ball strikes the hand or part of the arm which isn't adjacent to the body. So, if the ball hits the elbow it would only be a handball if there was daylight between the elbow and the body. This is clear for players, officials and spectators alike. It also wouldn't require players to do an Ivanovic - i.e. run around (in a very unnatural way) with their arms behind their backs. This seems like plain common sense to me - clearly a commodity entirely lacking in the IFAB and the experts they presumably employ. |  | | |

"Drop balls can no longer be contested, but the change is more positive than it sounds.
If play is stopped, the ball will be dropped to a player on the team that last touched the ball - and where they touched it. All other players must be 4.5 yards (4m) away."
So a free kick, effectively. |  | | |

Except that the opposition don't need to be 10yds away, only 4.5, and as soon as the ball is dropped they can contest it - presumably. | | | |

Most of them are common sense.
No longer being able to put an attacker into the defensive well is interesting. Personally I agree with it but you can understand those who don't. |  |

Perhaps you rubbed them up the wrong way |  |

It's about time.
It really annoys me when team attacking, kik ball out in opposition half as opposition player down. Restart, opposition kik it back, people applaud the "sportsmanship".
Eh?
They've kicked the ball 50-60 yards away from where it was put out to help them ffs! | | | |

I agree with that one too.
Attackers in the wall you can clearly see blocking defenders from moving across etc. Anywhere else on the pitch that's obstruction... | | | |

What if the team who sat touched I as also the teams who player has just gone down with one of 'those head injuries'?
4.5 yards! I'm still waiting for players to be more than 2 years from a normal free kick - most defending teams just hover over the ball until they are ready for it to be taken. |  |
