I haven't spent too much time studying them just yet, hoping this weekend will be insightful and then I'll ensure everything is nailed down.
IFAB changes for 26-27
- Thread starter socal lurker
- Start date
I think I would too! We’ve stopped the game just for you, now you may as well have your ‘injury’ looked at and treated because you’re off for a minute anyway!
We are going to get into semantics about the difference between the referee stopping play and the referee delaying the restart of play to ask the player whether they need the physio
The simple way to look at this is if the restart is a dropped ball then the player has to go off for a minute.We are going to get into semantics about the difference between the referee stopping play and the referee delaying the restart of play to ask the player whether they need the physio
Any other it requires the physio to enter.
Referee gets hit by the ball by accident and possession changes. Player down injured. Referee asks if he wants treatment and he says no.
Player has to go off?
only joking

Appreciating that our regular IFAB contact is via @JamesL I saw that he is busy sorting @RefereeX out, so I e-mailed IFAB directly with a LOTG question.
The reference to 20-25 seconds when deciding whether a player can remain on the f. o. p. after being injured in a caution/dismissal offence has been removed from the law, but was still in the guidance for match officials.
IFAB have confirmed that the guidance should have been removed, and will be taken out in the next issue.

Don't worry about me I can multi task.
I don't think it ever appeared in law. It was always in the guidance notes.
Im assuming the exception for players to remain on field of play still exists so surely there still needs to be some guidance on that? Or do I really need to stop posting and RTFL?

Law 5 wording has been changed by the removal of the requirement for a quick assessment, so now there is no time limit.

If he's 'injured' call the physio on. Player safety
Meaning the player still takes forever to limp off, and they can still make the substitution immediately...If he's 'injured' call the physio on. Player safety

Thus far in the tournament, all the various ‘time saving’ law changes seem to have been implemented sensibly and achieved the desired outcome. I very much hope this continues to be the case.
However, the real stress test will be the upcoming 31 ‘winner takes all’ matches, where the incentive to try and waste time will be materially greater …..

Discussed on page 2, and yes on the face of it this means if the ball accidentally rebounds e.g. from the post back onto the penalty taker then enters the goal a goal is awarded although I am sure that is not IFAB's intent and very unlikely to occur!
