Because we'll all get them wrong and start moaning about them next season:

Think this one could be controversial :)
"Multi-coloured or patterned undershirts are allowed if they are the same as the sleeve of the main shirt."

The substituted player leaving the pitch by the nearest point will be akin to running the gauntlet at some places (hopefully).

I like this change, but I guess players who know that they are about to be subbed will just stand in the centre circle, and not on the far side of the pitch, and we still get to see the going nowhere fast semi jog that is much slower than actual walking. John Akinde was very good at it.

boo. they've finally killed the hope of a return to a proper drop ball.

handball is still unnecessarily complicated

This has always been one of my pet hates. The equivalent time should always be added and a yellow card shown (for being a complete arse - whichever rule that comes under).  :)

Agreed. Or the susbstituted player has to get off the pitch within 30 seconds or he gets booked or something. Although that will increase players faking injuries no doubt.

That's a lot of changes. The one about no longer being allowed to put a man in the wall to disrupt it if the wall is 3 or 4 players wide is interesting but is it really necessary?
