Ehh? The play under review would have then happened before the whistle was blown?

Yesterday, the whistle was blown before the ball went into the net. Not reviewable. Not the same situation at all.

I’m having a moment. You’re absolutely right.

It's Monday, we're all distracted by tweets of loans and purchases. Understandable.

Needs to improve i feel but probably is better for the game to have it. I would limit its usage more with subjective decisions

I can see this working out well, with absolutely no problems at all.

What do they mean by "rebound penalties"?

Like Kane v Denmark where his pen was saved but he scored the follow up

So, if a goalkeeper saves a penalty during a match but pushes the ball back into play it would be what, a corner or a goal kick?

Goal kick. Basically, after the pens taken it's a goal or, if saved it's a goal kick. Ball goes dead.

Bizarre. So they're changing the balance to give the defending team, the team that commited a foul in the box, a greater benefit?

Every new rule introduced makes football worse. It used to be a simple game. It's now an unnecessarily complicated game and I'm not sure who benefits from all of these changes.

I like the PK - score or dead ball on save. Already a 70% chance of scoring. Often on fouls that were barely in the box at positions with acute angles.

I mean, who lobbied for this?

I have never heard anyone say they think it would be a good idea to rule out a goal scored after a goalkeeper parries a penalty kick and a fellow knocks in the rebound.

No one.

Ever.

This smacks of people sitting in a plush office thinking up daft ideas to justify his or her inflated salary.
