The Premier League announces new rules for this season 📝

Big changes ahead!

As the season resumes on August 21 with Arsenal-Coventry, the Premier League has announced new rules for the upcoming campaign. Four new rules, to be exact:

- A player receiving treatment on the pitch will now have to go off for at least one minute (compared with 30 seconds previously).

- A countdown timer will be introduced for throw-ins and goal kicks. If the player exceeds the limit, the throw-in will be awarded to the opposition. In the case of a goal kick, the opposition will be given a corner.

- A substituted player will have 10 seconds to leave the pitch. If he exceeds that time, the substitute will not be allowed to come on until the next stoppage in play, after one minute has passed.

- Any second yellow card, resulting in a red card, will be reviewed by VAR.

The Premier League has specified that it does not intend to extend the scope of VAR to checking wrongly awarded corners.

So, do you think these are good rules? What would you have come up with to make the game flow better or improve officiating?
