This Thursday we learned, as announced ‘The Telegraph’, already IFAB (International Football Board Association) It is proposed to introduce a new penalty called the ‘blue card’. This rule was created with the aim of limiting the number of protests referees receive during the build-up to matches. This way, players who receive them will be kicked out within 10 minutes.
In fact, it is included in the agenda of the Annual Meeting scheduled for next March 2 and the most important point is in point 2 of the agenda related to the Rules of the Game.
The agenda is as follows. First is the section on changes and clarifications with three points:
“to. Rule 12 – Fouls and errors: hand actions are sanctioned when a penalty kick is awarded.
b. Rule 14 – The penalty kick: position of the ball and invasion of the field
c. Other changes/clarifications.
But the key is in point 3 which relates to the topics of debate, rehearsals and updates and which point speaks about the behavior of the players. Here, in addition to temporary dismissals, only the captain approaching the referee and cooling-off periods will also face:
“a) Only the captain can approach the referee.
b) Temporary expulsion (without bins) at a higher level
c) Cooling off periods”
But the meeting also aims to study the issues to be discussed such as the start of the trial of “a body camera” in addition to the continued progress in finding measures to solve time losses or the goalkeeper’s six-second rule. Apply it more strictly. “ABM 2023 essay approved: goalkeeper holding ball too long”.
In addition, possible updates to VAR and the ability to change the current protocol in addition to head injuries will be addressed.
