LEAGUE OF IRELAND goalkeepers will get a first-hand look at new FIFA rules regarding time wasting during this week’s fixtures.
A corner kick will now be awarded against their team if they keep control of the ball for more than eight seconds.
FIFA has determined that as well as simply holding the ball, bouncing it or throwing it in the air prior to releasing it will also fall under the guidelines given to referees.
Clubs taking part in European action in the coming weeks, and seasons starting next month, will also face the same rules, whereby referees will raise their hand a issue a countdown from five seconds to warn goalkeepers they’re in danger of conceding a corner.
