On a Future of Football podcast special, Dermot Gallagher joins us for a Ref Watch with a difference, looking at the potential for new laws in the beautiful game.
Joining Ron Walker, the former Premier League referee reflects on a unique 11-a-side match organized by We. This game introduced six innovative rules that may potentially be adopted in the future. Notably, the rules included a prohibition on heading, larger goals, and the introduction of sin-bins.
Content should be rewritten without notes:
- Gallagher discusses his likes and dislikes from the match, predicts potential future rule implementations, and offers suggestions for rule improvements.
- In the second part, Oliver Yew interviews Lukas Brud, the secretary of IFAB, the global governing body for football. Brud provides insight into the process of introducing new rules and explains why even strange ideas are not outright dismissed by the organization.
