Law Changes over the years

The Laws of the Game are determined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), whose membership is made up of representatives of FIFA and of the four ‘home’ associations: The F.A., Scottish F.A., F.A. of Wales and Irish F.A. This reflects the original role Great Britain, and specifically England, played in establishing the first set of Laws, which date from the formation of The Football Association in 1863.

The original Laws have changed only marginally over the years. Today’s 17 Laws continue to be based upon the rules that were first ratified by the Board when it was founded in 1886. Changes have occurred in accordance with the specific evolution and demands of modern-day football, but the key element remains of football being seen as essentially a simple game, with laws that can be applied in the same way at any level from the World Cup Final to a friendly game on a local park.

New Decision 5

A tackle from behind which endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

  • Method of injured players leaving the field of play
    The Board reiterated that if an injured player is able to walk off the field of play, he should be encouraged to do so, especially if close to the boundary lines (it is therefore unnecessary to carry him off the field of play on a stretcher in these circumstances).

The Board also confirmed that when returning to the field of play, an injured player can enter the field from any point on the boundary lines if the ball is out of play. If the ball is in play, the player may only re-enter the field of play from a touchline. In each case he must await the referee's signal.

  3. When a player may be penalized for being in an offside position
  4. When a substitution is requested

Reason:

He continues to have the authority to decide whether, in his opinion, a player’s unacceptable language or gestures are to be deemed a sending-off offence.

Kicks from the Penalty Mark: (New bullet points)

  1. When a team finishes the match with a greater number of players than their opponents, they shall reduce their numbers to equate with that of their opponents and inform the referee of the name and number of each player excluded. The team captain has this responsibility.

LAW 3 - THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS

New text:

Decisions of the International FA Board

Decision 2:

A team official may convey tactical instructions to the players during the match and must return to his position after doing so. All team officials must remain within the confines of the technical area, where such an area is provided and they must behave in a responsible manner.

Reason:

The new text recognizes that tactical instructions may be given by different team officials during the match provided the person returns to his or her position after giving these instructions and behaves in a responsible manner. The statement that the team official must return immediately to his or her position has been removed.

LAW 12 - FOULS AND MISCONDUCT

New text:

Indirect free kick

Delete bullet point 5

Wastes time

Decisions of the International FA Board

Decision 3

Delete the final paragraph:

The goalkeeper is considered to be guilty of time-wasting if he holds the ball in his hands or arms for more than 5-6 seconds.

Reason:

Both texts are no longer necessary because of the alteration to Law 12 in 2000 which stated that a goalkeeper is permitted to control the ball with his hands or arms for up to six seconds

Disciplinary Sanctions

New text:

Only a player or substitute or substituted player may be shown the red or yellow card.

Reason:

This clarifies the use of red and yellow cards

Sending Off Offences

To be added after Sending Off Offence No.7

A player who has been sent off must leave the vicinity of the field of play and the technical area.

Reason:

This clarifies the situation for players who have been sent off.

Decisions of the International FA Board

Decision 1

Delete. The decisions 2 to 6 became decisions 1 to 5 respectively.

Reason:

This confirms the sanction to be taken as stated in the Question and Answers Book on the laws of the Game, when an object is thrown at an opponent from a distance.

KICKS FROM THE PENALTY MARK

New title:

PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE THE WINNER OF A MATCH

The Golden Goal and taking kicks from the penalty mark are methods of determining the winning team where competition rules require there to be a winning team after a match has been drawn.

The Golden Goal

Procedure

During the period of extra time played at the end of normal playing time, the team which scores the first goal is declared the winner

- If no goals are scored the match is decided by kicks from the penalty mark

Kicks from the Penalty Mark

Procedure

Text remains unchanged

Reason:

To formally recognize the approval by the International F.A. Board of the Golden Goal as one of the possible procedures to determine the winner of the match.

2. INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIVES

Holding and Pulling

The International FA Board expresses its concern at the amount of holding and pulling which was prevalent in football today. It recognized that not every instance of holding and pulling of jerseys and shorts was unsporting behavior, as is also the case with deliberate handball. It expressed regret, however, that referees were not applying the Laws fully in dealing with blatant cases of holding and pulling and issued the following Mandatory

Instruction:

Referees are instructed that, in the case of blatant holding and pulling, the offence must be sanctioned by a direct free kick, or a penalty kick if the offence is committed inside the penalty area, and the player must be cautioned for unsporting behavior.

Treatment of Injured Players

The Board considered the problems caused by injuries to players. It was of the opinion that referees should allow players to return to the field of play as soon as possible after they have recovered from injury. In this respect, and in the case of players returning from treatment for a bleeding injury, the fourth official may assist referees, where one has been appointed to the match.

The Board also expressed its concern at the loss of playing time caused by the assessment of injuries to players and their removal from the field of play. The safety of the players must always be the main priority, however referees are instructed to add the full amount of time lost for these and any other reasons at the end of each period of play.

3. EXPERIMENTS TO THE LAWS OF THE GAME

Two Referees

The Board having monitored the experiment of using two referees in a number of federations, decided to end the experiment.

 

9.15 meter Advancement

 

The Board received reports from the Football Association and from the Scottish Football Association about the experiment of advancing play by 9.15 meters towards the center of the opposing goal where a player failed to respect the required distance, delayed the restart off play by carrying, throwing or kicking the ball away, showed dissent by word or action or indulged in any other form of unsporting behavior.

It agreed that the experiment should continue for another year with an amendment to the current experiment to cease the advancement of play at the penalty area line.

 

Advertising

The board noted with concern that its decisions taken on 4 March 1995 prohibiting advertising and club logos on goal nets and corner flags, was not being respected. Such advertising or publicity is not permitted in the Laws of the Game and FIFA was asked to take action against clubs which do not respect these instructions.

Celebration of a goal

The Board recognized that the celebration of a goal was an important and emotional part of football and relaxed the earlier statement in FIFA Circular 579 of 23 January 1996 that any player removing the jersey while celebrating a goal should be cautioned. Players will no longer be cautioned if they remove their shirt but they will be cautioned for unsporting behavior if their celebrations are provocative and intended to incite or ridicule opponents or opposing spectators. Players guilty of excessive time wasting while celebrating a goal will also be cautioned.

Players wearing spectacles

Sympathy was expressed for players, especially young players, who need to wear spectacles. It was accepted that new technology had made sports spectacles much safer, both for the player himself and for other players.
While the referee has the final decision on the safety of players’ equipment, the Board expects that they will take full account of modern technology and the improved safety features of spectacle design when making their decision.

Artificial Surfaces

The Board was pleased to note the major developments taking place in artificial playing surfaces and the introduction of the FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Turf. FIFA stated that there was a great interest in the introduction of these surfaces both for climatic reasons and for use in enclosed all seated stadium.
Artificial surfaces are already permitted for qualifying matches in the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Olympic Football Tournaments.

 


2002/2003

 

LAW 4 - THE PLAYERS’ EQUIPMENT

New Decision of the International F.A. Board

Decision 1

• Advertising is permitted only on the players' jerseys. It may not be worn on shorts, stockings or footwear.

• Players must not reveal undershirts, which contain slogans or advertising.

• A player removing his jersey to reveal slogans or advertising will be sanctioned by the competition organizer.

• Jerseys must have sleeves.

 

LAW 5 - THE REFEREE

New text

Stops the match if, in his opinion, a player IS seriously injured and ensures that he is removed from the field of play. An injured player may only return to the field of play after the match has restarted.

Reason:

This clarifies the procedure to be followed when a player returns to the field of play following injury.

Law 12 – FOULS AND MISCONDUCT

New Text

Indirect Free Kick

An Indirect tree kick Is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:

Reason:

This is a minor alteration to the text to recognize that there are now four offences instead of five as before.

INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIVES

SIMULATION

There was unanimous support for a high profile publicity campaign to be organized by FIFA against players guilty of this offence. Referees are instructed to take strong action against simulation and players guilty of simulation must be cautioned for unsporting behavior.

PLAYERS DELAYING THE RESTART OF PLAY

Serious concern was expressed at the number of players who delay the restart of play. The Laws of the Game are very clear on this matter and The Board insists that referees must apply them.

TEMPORARY EXPULSIONS

The Board strongly supported FIFA's concern that some national associations continue to use temporary expulsions in lower leagues. The Board confirmed in the strongest terms that this procedure must cease immediately otherwise disciplinary sanctions will be applied against the offending federation.

CELEBRATION OF A GOAL

The Board expressed its concern at the common practice of players removing their shirts while celebrating a goal to reveal slogans and advertising.

It was agreed that when time wasting occurred referees would continue to take actions in accordance with the Laws of the Game.

It was also agreed that when slogans and advertising were displayed on an undershirt, the matter could be dealt with by the disciplinary procedures of the competition.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO REFEREES, ASSISTANT REFEREES AND FOURTH OFFICIALS

The Board approved that the Additional Instructions for Referees, Assistant Referees and Fourth Officials would now be printed in the Laws of the Game book.

ARTIFICIAL SURFACES

The Board endorsed its support at last year's meeting for the FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Surfaces.

The amendments to the Laws of the Game take effect from 1st July 2002 and instructions and directives are introduced with immediate effect.

We thank you for your attention to the foregoing.

Yours faithfully,

2. Advancement Experiment for all games in the Premiership, the Football League and F.A. Cup (from the 1st Round Proper): seasons 2000/2001 & again in 2001/2002.

Following the annual meeting of the International Football Association Board, the game's law making body in February 2000, the Laws of the Game for season 2000/2001 showed some changes, some significant, some not so; some permanent, some experimental.

The most notable amendment in this country for season 2000/2001 was to Law 13. All games in the Premiership, the Football League and F.A. Cup (from the 1st Round Proper) trailed the 'Advancement Experiment'.

Following the end of season 2000/2001 the International FA Board looked closely at the experiment in England by which free kicks are advanced by 9.15 meters (10 yards) when a player of the penalized team fails to respect the required distance or delays the restart of the game. The Board felt the results of the ongoing experiments were not yet sufficiently conclusive and extended the tests for another year (2001/2002 season), albeit under slightly modified circumstances. FIFA will also conduct such tests at this year's U-17 World Championship in Trinidad and Tobago from 14 - 30 September 2001 as part of the education of young players to respect the Laws of the Game.

The Board received reports from the Football Association and from the Scottish Football Association about the experiment of advancing play by 9.15 meters towards the center of the opposing goal where a player failed to respect the required distance, delayed the restart off play by carrying, throwing or kicking the ball away, showed dissent by word or action or indulged in any other form of unsporting behavior.

It agreed that the experiment should continue for another year (2001/2002 season) with an amendment to the current experiment to cease the advancement of play at the penalty area line.

The change was introduced specifically to curb dissent; the amendment to the Laws of the Game will read:

"If, when a free kick is awarded, a player from the offending team:

(a) Fails to respect the required distance and retreat 9.15m (10 yards) from the position of the free kick

Or

(b) Delays the restart of play by carrying, throwing or kicking the ball away

Or

(c) Shows dissent by word or action

Or

(d) Indulges in any other form of unsporting behavior,

- The Referee will first caution the offending player and show the yellow card, and the

- The Referee will advance the free kick 9.15m (10 yards) towards the midpoint of the offending team’s goal line (up to the penalty area line).

“This procedure may only be effected once at any free kick."
