Eight-second rule to reduce time-wasting by goalkeepers approved for next season | Football News happymamay

The goalkeepers will give up a corner if they hold the ball for more than eight seconds next season in a major change in football laws.

The positive results in the trials this season prompted the International Football Council (IFAB) to change the law for the beginning of the 2025-26 season, to replace the current law, as the goalkeepers are supposed to give up an indirect free kick if they stick to more than six seconds.

There was confession that the rulers were barely implementing the six seconds base, in part due to the fact that the indirect free kick seemed very harsh, in addition to the difficulties and time required to put an indirect free kick.

The second eight base in the Premier League 2 was tried this season, as well as competitions in Malta and Italy.

IFAB said that there were only four sane cases in the hundreds of experimental matches, even with strictly applying the rule on all occasion except for one, which indicates that the goalkeepers see the threat of waiving the corner as an important deterrent.

Keepers will not have any excuse for being unaware of the time limit as well, as the referees have requested the countdown in the last five seconds at the hands of high.

The Secretary -General of the Secretary -General FIFA Matthias Grafttrom said his organization aims to use the new law in the opening World Cup 32 teams in the United States this summer.

“A major effect on the goalkeeper’s behavior”

“You can see that it has a great impact on the goalkeeper’s behavior,” Patrick Nelson, CEO of the Irish Football Association and IFAB.

He said that the base of six seconds, and the failure to enforce it, was “” a curse of the lives of many people for some time. “

“Some measures have been taken.

It is also understood that there may be an IFAB in the future to give angles as goalkeepers take a long time of dead ball kicks.

IFAB agrees to expand the “daylight base” experiences for renovations

IFAB has also agreed to continue and expand the experiments of the so -called “daylight base” for renovations.

The law change was motivated by the former Arsene Arsene Wenger’s director, who is believed to encourage to attack the play, but the trials were initially disabled due to the outbreak of the Covid-19s.

There were also fears that changing the law so that the player was aside if any part of the body could touch the ball legally with the second defender gives a lot of advantage to the player’s attack, and he may have an unintended result to make defenders deeper.

If other experiments are confirmed on the “daylight base” this early feedback, then another option that IFA can see is the experience of changing the law where the player is beside if any part of his stem is flat with the second defender.

Sources close to FIFA indicated that the ruling body of the global game did not rule out the “daylight” equipment in the club’s World Cup this summer.

Support has also been provided to the continuous experiments of the VS, which was designed for competitions that do not have the resources needed to implement VAR and have very few cameras used.

The system allows coaches to make two challenges in the decisions in the match, and to lose a challenge if the original referee’s decision is supported.

Nelson expressed his interest in introducing this in football in the league in Northern Ireland, but it did not set a schedule. It seems that the number of cameras on the field in the first four places of the English game excludes the possibility of using VS there.

FIFA has also confirmed its intention to try the referees in the club’s World Cup, which can give the broadcasters an additional restarting angle for use.

“The law changes something that the players demand.”

Sky News Rob Harris:

“The goalkeepers who hold the ball are very long, they will give up an angle.

“The law is currently providing for an indirect free kick, but a law is rarely implemented.

“The goalkeepers were able to run around the clock, which led to change.

“The time limit will increase from six to eight seconds, the goalkeeper can stick to the ball, but from five seconds there will be the optical countdown by the ruling using his hand to pressure the house this point.

“Former referee David Eraray, part of IFAB, said it is something that players ask. They believe it is absurd that a goalkeeper can sometimes be seen on the ball for 10 seconds while he is on the ground.

“There have been experiments at lower levels, including the U21 level, and they say they have caused games because goalkeepers fired the ball much faster.”
