IFAB announce new rules changes for 2016/17 football season

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has officially published its altercations to the rules of the game for next season onwards.
One of the most drastic and notable changes is regarding sendings-off and cautionable offences inside the penalty area.
The existing ‘triple-punishment’ rule meant that a player who denied a goal-scoring opportunity was automatically red-carded and handed a suspension, as well as giving away a penalty.
The new law however, will see that players who commit an accidental foul, that denies a goal-scoring opportunity, are not automatically sent off, instead they will be given a yellow card.
Players will still be sent off for holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball or having no possibility to play the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball.
Referees will also see their powers enhanced and will be able to send off a player before kickoff, anytime from the officials’ pre-match pitch inspection onwards.
Another new law states that the ball no longer has to move forward from kickoff but can move in any direction the players choose.
The IFAB have also approved a two-year trial of video technology to assist referees, to be used in four cases: to determine if a goal has been scored, red cards, penalties and mistaken identity.
