Premier league Rules 26/27

[Cods]

A new threshold will be introduced next season for hair pulling offences after a number of controversial red cards were shown last season.
A yellow card will now be awarded 'if the action is deemed to be without excessive force and/or brutality.'

[Further] points of emphasis for referees include continuing to take a 'less is more' approach to penalising handball and a greater emphasis on penalising holding offences at set plays.

Referees will also be encouraged to place a greater emphasis on penalising challenges that prevent the goalkeeper moving towards the ball at plays, designed to address criticism that the top tier has become too focused on grappling and set piece dominance.

Finally, there will also be a change to the use of VAR. VAR will now be able to review when a second yellow card leads to a red card, however it will not intervene for potential second yellow card offences. The Premier League has opted not to adopt an optional change whereby VAR's scope is increased, including intervening when a corner is incorrectly rewarded.

Top 6 player = not excessive force, yellow only

Anyone else = excessive force, straight red

Completely less controversial now

I look forward to them doing it for the first three weeks, us getting penalised over one if not all rule changes and then nobody else getting done for the rest of the season

Can't wait for this to be enforced fairly across the board and not favour certain teams.

What?

Yep absolutely no way are the top teams getting penalised for this, and you just know it's the likes of us that will be heavily pulled up for it instead.
