New goal kick rule in action on 16:55 - Jul 30 with 5613 views | PinnerPaul | Under old law, attackers could obviously strand close to defender receiving the ball (outside PA), now they have got be outside the area and if a fk, also 10 yards away. This, in theory gives receiving defender more space and time - however, it seems to benefit the attackers as they can close down defenders closer to the goal line. It was introduced to combat the (allegedly) often used tactic of playing the ball inside the PA, thus forcing a retake and wasting time. NEVER seen it myself but ho hum! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Watching preseason games at all levels I wondered whether the opposition could even stand inside the box so thanks for clearing it up. I understand why it's been changed to a degree but like yourself I cannot recall the last time I saw the team in possession intercept the ball inside the box thus wasting time. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

On the 'trick' posted above - it seems no one can agree if that's allowed or not! Danish FA say no, Dutch FA say yes and unconfirmed reports say IFAB say OK, also PGMOL also 'happy' Not allowing at the lower levels seems to be the general consensus of opinion on 'Ref Chat' As you said in relation to Sin Bins, football seems to have come up with the knack of making the beautiful game ever more complicated! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I wonder if it's to do with it being a manufactured situation rather than a natural passage of play. I remember when they brought in the back pass rule, it was not permitted if, for instance, the defender got down on his knees to head the ball back to the keeper. Or it could just be that nobody knows what the fcuk is going on. | ![](/images/avatars/19217.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes - basically anything that was simple about the game previously is now no longer so. Also, anything about the game that provided enjoyment has been removed or will be removed in the near future. | ![](/images/avatars/19217.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It could be seen as a 'trick' like lying on the floor to head the ball back to GK. That would be seen as 'circumventing the law' and would be a caution. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I did earlier in the summer, but will have another go 1) Players being subbed can be made to leave by nearest touchline 2) GKs and FKs in the pen area are in play as soon as kicked. EG Can be played again inside area 3) Drop balls go to side who had the ball when play stopped - none of this I'll kick it back nonsense 4) Ball hits ref and changes possession its a drop ball back to team who kicked the ball 5) Handball - attackers - its handball if they gain an advantage from ball hitting them - doesn't have to be deliberate. Defenders - its complicated but anything that makes body unnaturally bigger is handball. Of course, if deliberate its still handball whatever 6) No attackers in wall of 3 or more - have to be 1m away 7) Team who wins toss can kick off or choose ends More technical and or obscure changes that will never turn up and praise be offside has been left alone! IFAB website has all the changes and a PDF of the laws for the really committed! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
