5 sub rule extended until next season


Recommended Posts

World football’s law-makers are set to extend the temporary rule allowing teams to make five substitutes in a game, rather than three, for all of next season.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) introduced the change in May as a short-term measure to protect players in leagues that would be trying to finish the 2019-20 season after the COVID-related lockdown — the rationale being that players would be playing a congested schedule after a long lay-off, with only a limited “pre-season” period to return to fitness.

Too many, it should stay as it is,there's enough time wasting oportunity with three,but a goalkeeper should be able to replaced,if injured,without having to use a substitute as it is a specialist position.

Crazy question,  suppose we replaced a player who was poor with a player who was even poorer could we swap them around again 

Actually I’ve never understood why you can’t take a player off and then bring him back on.

Time wasting will be a big issue.

Other sports manage substitutions without stopping the game. Why does football need stoppages and why is playing time at the unexplained discretion of a referee. Football still has one foot firmly rooted in the past.

Footballers demonstrate dishonesty at every opportunity.

 

Might be something to do with it.
