fifa and fifa and fifa IFAB will gather in Glasgow on March 1 to discuss the issues of offside, communication between the arbitrator and VAR, the possibility of introducing the system & quot; Challenger & quot;, as well as an effective game time. New rules can enter into force in July 2025.

The issue can be considered in four dimensions: what this will give to players, arbitrators, FIFA functionaries with her, as well as to the audience – football lovers. As you know, the author of this heading has performed from the standpoint of the latter, trying to express the opinion, if not all spectators, then at least a considerable part of their part. So let's see.

1 1. Revision of the OFSAID Rules
The reform provides that the player will be in an offsade only if his body is completely behind the line of the last defender. If at least part of the body will remain on the same line with the defender, the position will be considered legal.
For starters, FIFA is consistent. She seeks to make decisions in favor of the attack. In this case, the attack conquers the size of the whole body from the defense. With the modern development of computer business in the West, it is not difficult to fix the desired millimeter. So why do this is no closer to the gate?
It seems to me that any viewer will prefer this conditional heel to the nail of the thumb, which today determines the offside on a conditional step further from the gate. Noga behind the line or the whole body, except for the heel – This, as they say in Odessa, are two big differences. And, in a good way, it was necessary to do this with the initial introduction of VAR.: Revision of this rule can lead to an increase in the entertainment of the game (in its legitimate framework) and a potential increase in the number of heads. And this is a gut.
2. Explanations of arbitrators on the air
Another topic for discussion will be the possibility of arbitrators on the air to explain the decisions made. This approach has already been tested at FIFA tournaments, in particular at the World Cup 2023.
Not discussed at all – I doubt that there is at least one spectator who will not be interested. As far as I understand, this gradually went to this, and the question here was only in the degree of readiness of the judges themselves for this. Although more than once I heard that just the referees have positively perceived the idea. Or the most decent of them?
the explanation on the live air significantly relieves tension and lowers the degree of excessive passion. After all, often it is simply incomprehensible to us for what exactly the penalty or the player is removed. What are us – The players themselves, who incorrectly interpret one or another decision. Sometimes not even knowing the rules.
It is clear that this will not stop the most stubborn coaches and inveterate club fans – They live this. But most of the sane viewers will be clear. Still, to somehow oblige the telecumentors not to stir up water out of the blue: their task is – Comment, not evaluate the decisions of judges. Especially – Without knowledge of the subject.
conclusion : explanations of decisions with arbitrators will increase our interest in the game.
3. The introduction of the system & quot; Challenger & quot;
FIFA and IFAB will also consider the introduction of the system & quot; Challenger & quot; which can be used to view controversial or, according to the team, erroneous judicial decisions.
for some reason, it was precisely so that the interaction of the game participants with the var. There is a controversial situation, and the team initiates a video examination of the episode of the referee. The point is not that this is already being done in basketball – In who really needs it. But FIFA, at that time, was guided by the authority of the arbiter.
And so, they still came to what they could start. I will not say that now it will be more correct, but for sure. The only question is that the appeals of the commands should be an addition to the existing system of VAR, and not completely replace it. Then the percentage of judges may theoretically decrease.
Conclusion : system & quot; Challenger & quot; (as an addition to VAR) can improve the overall quality of football arbitration and cause the viewer a sense of greater objectivity in refereeing – What is popularly called justice. And by itself, this option also causes an additional interest in the game.
4. & ldquo; clean Time & RDQUO;
Another question will be the introduction of a time stop system. According to this innovation, a timing similar to a basketball or futsal may appear in football, when the timer stops every time the ball leaves the game.
It seems that this question will cause the greatest rejection. In my opinion, the misconception is common that it will adversely affect football, fundamentally changing the nature of the game. The author is a consistent supporter & ldquo; pure time & rdquo; And he devoted more than one article in the past. I think not everything is so critical.
First of all, you need to kill conservatism – What, believe me, and it was not easy for me: that conservative is also. & ldquo; dirty & rdquo; Tales of 45 minutes – hopeless archaism, outdated for a long time and completely. No crutches in the form of compensated time, as life has shown, is not able to help him to resist his feet.
In football, there are catastrophically a lot of all kinds of pauses, which makes it possible to both pull the time and knock down the rhythm of the game, and this harms entertainment. A bunch of recommendations to arbitrators, how to deal with it, is growing, and there is not so much sense of them. The problem will be solved once and for all with the introduction of & ldquo; pure time & rdquo;.
repeatedly detecting the time of matches, came to the conclusion that a time in its pure form – While the ball is in the game – It lasts, plus or minus, thirty minutes. So why not legalize them in & ldquo; pure & rdquo; format? There are paradoxical objections: they say, the game will just lose the dynamics due to & ldquo; dirty & rdquo; pause – when no one will rush anywhere.
It would be nice to adopt the experience of the same footzal, where the team for introducing the ball into the game is given four seconds, after which the ball is transmitted to the opponent. Naturally, there should be more seconds in football. Plus toughen the punishment for the delay in the game – give for this & ldquo; mustard & rdquo; Faster, more often and more fun.
Word, there would be a desire, and there will be measures. And conclusion It is simple here: & ldquo; clean time & rdquo; Guarantees us one hundred percent of football at the time allotted for the game. Unlike very approximate allowances for the referee for replacement, injuries, the celebration of heads and other football & ldquo; garbage & rdquo;. As well as the allowances for allowances subsequently.
And there is also & LDQUO; one hundred relatively honest ways to steal the time & rdquo; which are actively and enjoyed by cunning people in & ldquo; dirty & rdquo; Ninety -plus. It is easy and just put an end to all this. And, I beg you, you should not arrange the crying of Yaroslavne for innocently killed football. I suppose & ldquo; Clean time & rdquo; He is more likely to benefit.
So, in fact, FIFA's proposals package are a kind of revolution in the rules of football. In my opinion, it is inevitable and even somewhat late. And the average viewer will only benefit from her. Of course, if you do it all according to the mind, and not indicate the contours.
