Proposed Rule Changes on the Cardiff Agenda

 

GOAL-HANGERS PARADISE

The Welsh FA are proposing a controversial change to make the offside rule applicable only in the penalty area.This probably wont even get discussed in detail because it is so ludicrous.

 

PROFESSIONAL FOUL

When the "last player" denies an opponent an obvious goalscoring chance and a penalty is awarded, a yellow card, instead of a red, should be shown as the goalscoring opportunity is returned by the spot kick. Sounds like a boost to fans of the professional foul.

 

RED CARDS AFTER FINAL WHISTLE

Referees should be given the chance to show red & yellow cards after the final whistle for incidents off the pitch. At the moment,they can only report them. Sounds logical.

 

STRIPPING OFF

Only players who completely remove their shirts in goal celebrations should be cautioned. So a little show of the belly is allowed now.

 

'ARMLESS OFFSIDE'

Arms should not be included when players are being judged on or offside. The definition of being actively involved in play is also clarified, saying a player who is in an opponents line of vision or distracts him with a movement is actually involved. Experts beware!

But a last man professional foul outside the box will still earn a red card presumably as there is no penalty and I guess free kick success (ie a goal) from round the box is pretty low. I would guess 10% ?????????????
