>TACKLING forbidden !!!!!!!!
You're joking! If that's the case, sorry lads, I'm off to find another
sport. Personally, I think a well-executed (i.e. hard but fair) tackle is
as spectacular as anything else in the modern game. Apart from the
Bryan Robsons and Paul Inces of this world, just think what a ban on
tackling would mean to forward players like Mark Hughes or Peter
Beardsley.
Utter rot...

| 595.2 | Foul Play !! | CHEFS::WRAITHC | | Mon Feb 03 1997 12:07 | 6 |
| I think this is a plot to destroy Germany's future chances in major
competitions - the lack of tackling will negate the "Klinsmann Dive and
Roll" tactics, hence no free kicks and subsequent goals.
Enough is enough.

| The question that springs to mind is why?
Having the keeper not touch the ball for longer than 5 seconds is
probably (although completely bloody stupid) to do with speeding up the
game.
But tackling????
Why not dress them all up in nice frocks and have them place kiss chase
instead?

P.S. At least the Italian equity union would have new members if they
weren't allowed to act on the field anymore...

FIFA REFEREES' COMMITTEE'S SHOPPING LIST
Z�rich, 18 February 1997 - The FIFA Referees'
Committee has compiled a series of proposed adjustments
to the Laws of the Game and other measures after two
days of talks at FIFA House in Zurich.
Meeting under the chairmanship of David Will
(Scotland), the Committee expressed its views on a
series of issues including golden goal, time-keeping,
encroachment at free-kicks and the back-pass rule.
Among other points, the Committee:
- supported the instructions given to the 1994 World
Cup referees that violent tackles from behind should be
punished by a red card
- called for players "scoring" a goal by deliberate
handball to be sent off
- were in majority support of matches ending in a draw
after 90 minutes to go to a penalty-kick shoot-out
before 30 minutes of extra time, with the winners of
the shoot-out winning the game if extra time also ends
in a draw
- condemned the use of replays of all kinds on giant
screens at all FIFA matches
- strongly supported the system of ballboys with spare
footballs around the pitch in order for less time to be
lost when the ball goes out of play
- agreed that one person only should move in the
technical zone in front of the team benches at any one
time, but that the head coach could remain standing if
he wished
- will ask the International Football Association Board
to establish a standard procedure for the removal of
injured players from the field of play at their own
request, and recommend that an injured player may
return from any point on either touchline or from the
goal-line during a stop in play, with the referee's
permission
- called upon the Board to study a rule by which only
the team next due to put the ball back into play would
be permitted to touch the ball after the referee has
stopped the play (e.g. the team due to take a free-kick
or throw-in, the defending team after a goal scored,
etc.)
- came out strongly against any form of time-keeping by
any person or device other than the referee but agreed
to await further experiments in Italy by which the
referee indicates to the fourth official how many
minutes he intends to add after 45 minutes, and the
fourth official informs the spectators
- strongly opposed the idea of two referees
- supported the idea of giving the fourth referee
discretion to intervene in exceptional cases, but only
via the intermediary of the nearest assistant referee
- strongly rejected experiments with electronic
line-judges and field-side TV monitors to decide
controversial situations
- supported the proposal to the IFAB for the back-pass
rule to be extended to the throw-in, and called for the
rule to be extended to all parts of the body
- backed the proposal to the IFAB banning the
goalkeeper from holding the ball unnecessarily for more
than five seconds, and called for a stricter
application of the four-step rule
- backed the idea to allow the goalkeeper to move along
his line at penalty-kicks
- decided to await results from experiments with the
kick-in before taking a position on this concept
- dismissed the notion of automatic expulsion after a
certain number of fouls, pointing out that the Laws
already foresaw punishment for "persistent
infringement".
In other business, the Referees' Committee discussed
preliminary arrangements for the referees and assistant
referees at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. It was
agreed that there should be 32 referees and 32
assistant referees at the final tournament next year.
The first preliminary pool, containing more than 64
officials, will be compiled in October this year, while
a course for the finally selected officials will be
held in northern France in March 1998.
The Committee reiterated its intention to use a system
relaying an impulse from the assistant referee's flag
to produce an audible signal for the referee during the
game, at all 64 matches of the World Cup finals.
The members gave their first positive impressions of
the proposed revised Laws of the Game, to be submitted
to the IFAB at its meeting in Belfast on 1 March. The
revised text, which aims to present the 17 Laws more
clearly, will come into force on 1 July if approved by
the Board.
Finally, the Committee appointed a working group to
study the simplification of the Laws of the Game for
Futsal (indoor football).

> The extra time debate
IMHO I agree with the 'golden goal' but why not scrap the offside rule
in extra time as well. As for taking the penalties before extra time,
surely this will only encourage negative play on behalf of the side
that won the penalty shoot-out, unless they were not allowed to use any
subs in extra time.
>Only team allowed to touch the ball is the team who should play it
next.
Right I understand the thinking behind this one (I think!!). But again
wont this still encourage slow play because say Team A are winning 2-0,
and Team B score with 2 mins to go, then Team A will still be slow in
picking the ball out of the net and returning it for the Kick-Off.
Wouldnt it be better if the ref or assistant ref picked the ball up and
took it to the Centre spot, also if it goes for a throw in then the
first player to touch it should take the throw in and the same for free
kicks. Hopefully this would stop the way it happens at the moment where
a player goes to take the throw-in or free kick then another player
comes up and takes the ball and then someone else comes over etc. etc.
Neal.

FIFA are experimenting with "Action reply" video in a friendly between
France and Sweded...soon but I can't recall exactly when...
I'm tellin' ye lads....they'll soon have us wearing body pads in games
with 4 quarters, telephones at the side of the pitch to talk to the 15
coaches in the stand during the alloted 5 "time-outs" per team per
half......you heard it hear first !
Trevor (actually, did anyone know that the Brazilians are
experimenting with timeouts already ? Seems they failed though)

| 595.11 | New Laws | TEAMLK::CAMPKIN | Bitter is sweet | Thu Mar 06 1997 18:48 | 75 |
| New Laws
Following the amendments listed in the order of the
Laws of the Game affected:
Law 4 - Players' Equipment:
Now includes the statement: "If thermal shorts are worn
they must be of the same main colour as the shorts."
Law 5 - The Referee:
"Any player bleeding from a wound must leave the field
for treatment."
Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play:
"The team which wins the toss shall decide which goal
it will attack in the first half of the match. The
other team shall take the kick-off."
"A goal may be scored directly from the kick-off."
"The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves
forward."
Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct
An indirect free-kick will be awarded if the goalkeeper
handles the ball after receiving it from a throw-in
from his own team.
�Unsporting behaviour� replaces �ungentlemanly conduct�
as a cautionable offence.
�Failing to respect the required distance at a restart
of play� becomes a cautionable offence.
�Delaying the restart of play� becomes a cautionable
offence.
IFAB decisions 13 and 14, which relate to the
prevention of obvious goal scoring opportunities now
become Law.
�Using offensive, insulting or abusive language�
replaces �foul or abusive language�.
Binding instruction:
The referee has to consider that the goalkeeper is
wasting time and therefore has to award an indirect
free-kick against him, if he holds the ball for longer
than 5 - 6 seconds.
Law 14 - The Penalty Kick
The new text states "The goalkeeper remains on his own
goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts
until the ball has been kicked". The phrase "without
moving his feet" has been deleted.
Players who enter the penalty area before the ball has
been kicked need not now be cautioned.
Law 16 - The Goal Kick
"A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick."
Note:
The Board unanimously REFUSED to allow the trial of video
equipment in the France v Sweden game in April.
