Which Laws of the Game changes do you suggest?
Which Laws of the Game changes do you suggest? The IFAB will have a meeting on March 3rd where last year’s major revision of the LOTG will be discussed.
I am really looking forward to your ideas in how to make football rules better, more interesting or easier to implement as a referee. Please share your ideas in in the comments below.
The IFAB has announced: “Following last year’s major revision of the Laws of the Game which made them easier to understand and more consistent in their interpretation and application, this year’s AGM will be asked to approve final ‘tiding up’ to assist translation and interpretation of some of the changes of the Laws of the Game introduced in 2016. This will represent the final stage of the overall major textual revision of the Laws.”

And last year there was a big revision, but has it worked out well for you?

Change throw-in to.shoot-in. After all it is football.
Second yellow becomes a 10 minute sin bin, not an exclusion.

Great ideas.
Have seen the sin-bin as option for a yellow, not for a red. First yellow is no sin-bin?

I think law 4 (the players equipment )
*page 42 COLOURS
undershirts must be the same colour as the main colour of the shirt sleeve;
I think it should be more specific that what colour must be worn or decision must be taken if both shirt sleeves are the same between the two teams because I had this situation at my game and I was clueless on what to do because the law doesn’t cover the situation i had.
I acted out of common sense and said the away team to remove the undershirts, andI don’t know if i was right to do that

Thanks for the comment. The LOTG also say: “The two teams must wear colours that distinguish them from each other and the match officials”. If that gives a problem with the undershirts, you can ask them to wear something else. The guidelines of the competition then usually will tell which team has to change it’s outfit. At higher levels usually the away team, here in The Netherlands at lower levels it’s the home team. I hope that helps you a bit further as well.
