I love everything about this new rule. Goalkeepers are very fond of delaying time especially when their teams are winning and that I think slows down the nervous moments in football. So I'll be happy to see how goalkeepers will now be forced to not hold the ball past 8 seconds. Emiliano Martinez I think is the major specialist in doing that but now that the rule will take effect next season, every goalkeeper will just have to adapt to that
You completely missed my point: the old rule already exists and it is stricter. Why make a new rule? Besides, what is the logic in awarding a corner kick? It is complete nonsense and nonsense compared to a free kick which, within the penalty area, almost turns into a penalty kick.
I see exactly zero justification for introducing this new rule. Now it will be even easier for goalkeepers to burn time.
Yes, if I compare the old and new rules with what you said, of course I think the old rules are better and stricter, maybe I won't mind the additional 2 seconds for the goalkeeper to hold the ball in this new rule, but I don't agree with the replacement of corner kicks from the referee for those who violate, I prefer the old way where free kicks are given, it's much more dangerous. I don't know what IFAB's considerations are for ratifying lighter rules like this for next season.
