Can you talk us through the most significant alterations to the Laws?
In a way, the change to 'triple punishment' is part of the revision but others include; a player who is injured by a yellow or red card foul can have quick treatment and not have to leave the field of play because that seemed unfair. Where a foul occurs off the field of play, as part of play, that is restarted with a free kick and not a drop ball. Also, trying to stop unfairness with penalty kicks, a stronger punishment if the kicker doesn't behave correctly, whether he scores or not it will always be a free kick. If the goalkeeper moves early and the kicker doesn't score it will be a retake but also a yellow card for the goalkeeper.
