Throw in time limit (18 Viewers)

Calista · 2026-03-01T17:33:39+0000

Apologies if there's already a thread on this, but I've just been reading that FIFA may be implementing a time limit on throw-ins and goal kicks in the World Cup. If the ref thinks too much time is being taken, a 5-second countdown will start. Can result in giving the throw to the other team, or a corner.

Personally I'm in favour of speeding them up, even if we do like to use MVE for long throws. They've become a tedious tactic, and apparently nearly 11 minutes (!) is taken up by throw-ins in the average Prem game.

more issues bother me more that throw ins.

1. goalkeepers faking an injury when no one near them.

2. tactical talk with manager when point 1 happens

3. subs slow walking off or not getting off on the nearest side. (Booking the sub coming on would prevent this)

The keeper "injury" issue will like be in the next set of law tweaks

This set does actually also contain the same time limit but for subs as well

I love how they are adding some measure to stop disrupting tempo of the game, whilst also increasing the scope for VAR which will *checks notes * disrupt the tempo of the game

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · 2026-03-01T17:46:21+0000

With the VAR for second yellows, what if the first yellow, when using VAR, would show it was unwarranted?

The VAR for 2nd yellows is a good thing to me. Most checks on them will be really quick

The daylight offside is ridiculous. Will just led to goal hanging and very deep defensive lines. Wenger’s reputation as an intellectual is in tatters

What ever they do. They will get bored of it and forget.

Same as when they were adding on about 13 minutes a game.

The 8 second keeper rule is barely applied either.

Ah, I forgot to say that they are dealing with this too. 10 seconds to get off, or the replacement can't come on until the first stoppage after 1 minute of play.

I imagine you'll be given a bit more leeway if you've lost a limb or something!

that's because the keepers kick it a lot faster now

the refs are still doing the countdowns

skybluecam · 2026-03-01T18:38:13+0000

Wenger’s offside proposal is genuinely stupid

Giving attackers a yard advantage on the defensive line will only encourage teams to sit deep.

shmmeee · 2026-03-01T19:17:32+0000

VAR on corners?? Why not just stop the game for two minutes every time the ref blows up FFS.

You’ve got to wonder if any of these people actually watch the game.

Every summer tournament they implement something's that work and then the domestic leagues don't carry on with it

There was a world cup, think it was 2018. Where FIFA cracked down on playacting and the games were so much better cos refs let play carry on and players had to get up and start playing again

Come September it was stop start again

Their keeper was sat down with the ball for about 5 seconds yesterday, clearly time wasting, he then took a further 5 to get up and then the ref started his 8 second count. Oxford keeper got away with it a few times the other week also - they deffo get longer than they are supposed to get.

Yay! More VAR!

They need to introduce an official that keeps track of the time or something. They’ve brought in these rules that don’t actually get implemented, like the time limit for goal keeper resulting in a corner… there’s not been a single instance been given in our games but GKs still take the piss.

Mentioned it a few times at the start of the season, but the crowd should be doing more to alert the ref the 8 seconds are up. Saying that though, I’m convinced from the looks I get from a few people sitting around me when I start shouting about it, they aren’t even aware there is an 8 second rule in place!

this does need to be sorted. watching mve jog across the field to take a long throw on the left is just boring, and very rarely worth it.
get the ball back in play, and get on with it.

So important it needed saying twice

The referees aren’t stupid, they probably know 8 seconds are up but choose not to apply the rules on edge cases to avoid controversy.

Imagine the grief they’d get if the resulting corner led to a goal? Fundamentally, the law isn’t clear either because it says 8 seconds after the surrounding players have cleared…

Likewise, I think GKs time wasting goal kicks should be turned over to a corner with defined time frame of say, 10 seconds.

One of the worst things they brought in was being able to take the goal kick from the opposite side the ball went out. How often does the keeper piss about with a slow walk to the opposite side for a goal kick.
