Kick ins instead of throw ins.

Couldnt they find him a good occupational therapist in the old football managers home he occupies at FIFA house? Supposedly part of a plan to speed up the game! Has he seen how long it takes to take a free kick these days.

The bloke has lost his marbles.

Think we need a fit and proper test for FIFA advisors.

Take throw ins from the correct place would be radical

What is it to be then?

They trialled this back in the 90s in the Ryman League when I see to watch my then home-town team Wokingham Town. It was sacked off after one season - the games weren’t noticeably quicker and just became a bit of a nonsense where every kick-in was just launched into the box. Obviously a very different level, but I think results would be pretty similar

Bring back multi ball?

Actually punish time wasting stringently?

Kick ins just means free kicks and surely that slows the game further in a lot of instances with teams organising themselves in and around the box.

What are we more excited for?

The way I read it was the intention to make the game quicker by saying they could use a kick-in if taken within five seconds. This would rule out the ‘free-kick’ option of getting loads forward.

Still rubbish though.

They could speed up throw ins by having the nearest player has to take it and within so many seconds

How about nailing players for time wasting also its about time when there is a corner kick the ball is actually placed within the quardant..
Also stop players from harrasing the ref on decisions as that it blantant time wasti g aswell..

My all time favourite Dale player Mr Lyndon Symmonds

I read it like you that as well, so a 5 second window would mean that the nearest player would take the kick-in which would stop the ball being passed through a few pair of hands before it is back in play as can occur now.
Another thought which may be one too far but at my advanced age I play walking football and we use "kick-ins" but you can only take one step before kicking ball which may also mean the use of "kick-ins" used as big free kicks could be reduced.

There is nothing wrong with the laws of the game which have endured for over 150 years but in recent years there has been increasing tinkering around by the old boys of the IFB or whatever its called. Done no doubt to justify their existence and to give them something to do at their meetings.

The problem football has faced/faces is in the laws of game being applied accurately and consistently.

Football’s popularity worldwide has been its simplicity. Its takes a ‘professor’ like Wenger to complicate it for everyone.
