3 March 2018 I.F.A.B. AGM Agenda (Laws of the Game review).

Post by Con M »

The International F.A. Board is meeting in Zurich today to review the Laws of the Game.

Main issues to be addressed are:

(1) whether to allow a 4th sub in extra time games to assist exhausted teams;

(2) wording clarification on “denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity” and “stopping a promising
attack”.

(Hopefully they’ll get this simple and right. ie, as long as it’s not violent then a DOGSO outside the penalty area = a red card and free kick; and if it’s inside the box then it’s a yellow card and penalty.)

(3) And they’ll obviously be discussing THE topic of the moment - V.A.R.

Can it ever be totally quick and accurate, or is it really refereeing the game twice?

If it's a red card offence outside the box it should be a red card offence inside the box.

If we must continue with VAR, how about introducing a RED CARD for someone who dives (and is clearly unimpeded in the act) upon review?
