) when there is a drop ball inside the box to the defending team, is it presumed that the goal keeper cannot pick it up as they are already in possession? Or are they allowed and I Interprate it incorrectly?
Don't be daft this is the only time GKs don't hold the ball for more than 6s currently. Too big an opportunity...Although an interesting oneā¦ whoās gonna dropping the ball to the goalkeeper and starting the keeperās 8 count while theyāre still pegging it up the field?

Hi. Nothing has changed with this law in regards to your query in theory. The goalkeeper can pick the ball up as soon as it has hit the ground (and is therefore in play)

I can picture myself busting a lung......

As a (mildly) serious point, I do think that counting while changing position will end up looking less than great. Weāve seen two helpful recent changes to help refs be more athletic (single arm advantage and IFK signal now dropped earlier) ā¦ this law introduction will work in the opposite directionHi.

Might want to rethink part of that. If it is going to take you 3-5 seconds to get in position, that would be the time to start the visible 5 second count rather than the beginning of the 8 second count.
Also need to watch out for and mitigate obvious inconsistencies. If already in position compared to if it takes 5 seconds to get into position, the difference could become very obvious .
One FIFA R at the CWC or Gold Cup did the countdown signal on a GK. I donāt think we should go to 8 seconds on restarts, but the more I think about it, I kinda like the idea of using the signal as an alternative to calling āletās goā as a warning. It could be used just as clarity that youāre about to get cautioned.
I agree with large parts of that, but then it mentions the goalkeeper having clear possession and a definition of that. If thatās how they want it done, they need to put that into law, rather than āguidanceā.
I agree. Whilst I think what theyāve said above is eminently pragmatic and sensible, itās a crying shame it wasnāt included in Law from the get go, rather than them simply repeating the definition of GK control which can easily lead to a much harsher implementation.
