Believe these will be the law changes?
KFTPM becoming penalties is an interesting one, but a change I like.

Meh. It’s just bringing fan-speak into the Laws—same as handball. They aren’t penalties, as no offense occurred to be penalized, and hand ball is used for a sport played against a wall. Next year do we see “last man”in the Laws? Yeah, and get off my lawn!Believe these will be the law changes?

You haven’tIs law 3 now saying the goal stands if the extra person from the team that scores doesn't interfere?
That would b absurd so assuming I've misread it.
It's a response to the goals in the later stages of the WC where subs had started to run onto the field in celebration a second or two early.Is law 3 now saying the goal stands if the extra person from the team that scores doesn't interfere?

Please excuse me a minute whilst I resuscitate myself from the shockIt's a response to the goals in the later stages of the WC where subs had started to run onto the field in celebration a second or two early.
They're right to say people don't want goals disallowed for that, but it's not a particularly well-thought through statement unsurprisingly. "Interference" in this context is obviously very different to "interference" in an offside context, which means we now have a keyword in the law that means two different things in different contexts, which is pretty poor drafting.
Especially when return substitutes are permissibleAt the pro level it probably works just fine. At grass roots, where subs are less well controlled, it isn't very helpful for the situation where there are actually 12 players on the field and we try to decide who the extra player is and whether that player interfered.
Argh! So daft. Seems like they have not thought through at all.A very typical narrow focus change from IFAB to 'fix' an incident that has happened in a big game that addresses that very situation but creates many other problems. It's not the first time they have done this.
