IFAB approves permanent concussion substitutes

The IFAB approved several changes to and clarifications of the Laws of the Game relating to players in relation to permanent concussion substitutes, player equipment, fouls and misconduct, and penalty kicks during its 138th Annual General Meeting (AGM), hosted by the Scottish Football Association at Loch Lomond, Scotland.

Changes and clarifications for the Laws of the Game 2024/25

The next edition of the Laws of the Game, which will come into effect on 1 July 2024, will feature the following changes and clarifications:

- Law 3 (The Players): Additional permanent concussion substitutions to be a competition option in accordance with the necessary protocol.

- Law 3 (The Players) and Law 4 (The Players’ Equipment): Each team must have a team captain who wears an identifying armband.

- Law 4 (The Players’ Equipment): Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards, which remain a compulsory part of their equipment.

- Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct): Handball offences that are not deliberate, and for which penalties are awarded, are to be treated in the same way as other fouls.

- Law 14 (The Penalty Kick): Part of the ball must touch or overhang the centre of the penalty mark, and encroachment by outfield players will be penalised only if it has an impact.

Although the changes will take effect from 1 July 2024, competitions starting before that date may implement them earlier or delay their implementation until no later than the start of the subsequent competition.

Trials confirmed

1. Detailed protocols for three trials in domestic competitions below the top two tiers aimed at improving participant behaviour were approved, namely:

- Only a team’s captain being able to approach the referee in certain situations.

- The introduction of cooling-off periods to allow the referee to require teams to go to their own penalty area.

- Increasing the time limit for the goalkeepers holding the ball to eight seconds, otherwise possession will revert to the opposing team.

2. The current guidelines to temporary dismissals in youth and grassroots football were improved. Any potential wider application will only be considered once the impact of these changes have been reviewed.

3. The IFAB decided to extend FIFA’s trial where the referee publicly announces the final decisions and the reasoning after a video assistant referee (VAR) review or lengthy VAR check to other competitions. Participating competitions will require permission from The IFAB and will have to commit to FIFA’s refereeing and technology guidelines.

Other topics

FIFA confirmed that it would launch a global campaign to raise awareness of how to recognise the symptoms of concussion and treat it appropriately, while The IFAB also requested relevant medical data analyses to be provided to the subsequent AGM in line with the amendment to Law 3 regarding this topic. In addition, members received an update on The FA’s trials with body cameras at grassroots level and with a ban on “deliberate heading” at U-12 level and below. The IFAB also received an update on the offside trial which has been undertaken at U-18 level in Italy and agreed to further trials.

MLS referee replaced after photos in Miami jersey

The referee for Saturday's MLS game between Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC was replaced by the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) after pictures emerged on social media of the original assignee, Guilherme Ceretta, wearing an Inter Miami jersey. Ceretta was replaced by Jaime Herrera, with Ivan Cid Cruz stepping in for Herrera as the fourth official and Bruno Rizo and Regis Cardoso remaining as the match's assistant referees. The pictures were first revealed by the X account @MLSRefStats.

A spokesperson for PRO, which assigns referees to officiate matches in MLS, confirmed to ESPN: "Referee Guilherme Ceretta was removed from the game due to a potential conflict." The change comes at an awkward time for PRO, which is engaged in a lockout of referees belonging to the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA), the union attempting to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement with PRO. In the interim, PRO has been using replacement referees pulled from other professional leagues as well as the collegiate and youth ranks. "As long as the focus stays on fighting organized labor rather than utilizing the most well-trained, experienced officials in the league, you will continue to stray from promoting the very best of the game," PSRA president Peter Manikowski said in a statement to ESPN on Saturday. "Sporting integrity provisions are in our CBA and we take them very seriously. But when the league perceives these professional officials are asking for too much, the first thing to go is the sporting integrity backstops like rigorous fitness testing, medical checks, background checking and anti-doping. Talks on a new CBA between PRO and the PSRA appear to be at a standstill. The previous CBA expired on Jan. 15, though the two sides agreed to extend the terms in a bid to continue negotiations. On Feb. 15, the PSRA membership overwhelmingly rejected a tentative agreement reached between PRO and the PSRA executive board, with 95.8% of the PSRA union membership voting against ratification. PRO responded the next day by locking out the PSRA referees. The PSRA has since offered a counter-proposal, which PRO not only rejected, but responded by saying that the terms of the tentative agreement amounted to its best offer. In a letter from PRO general manager Mark Geiger to the PSRA membership, Geiger added that if the PSRA didn't approve the terms contained in the tentative agreement by March 11, its next offer "will include less favorable terms in some areas."

The decision to remove Ceretta de Lima, a referee with a respectable history in Brazil, raises several questions about independence and transparency in the refereeing process. While some argue that the photos alone should not be enough to question the integrity of an experienced referee, others contend that the perception of impartiality is as important as impartiality itself. In a sport where trust in refereeing is essential, MLS seems to have opted for a cautious approach to preserve the integrity of the game. Ceretta de Lima's situation also sheds light on the pressures faced by referees in an increasingly scrutinized environment. With the rise of social media and video technology, every decision by a referee is subject to meticulous and sometimes ruthless analysis. While the decision to remove Ceretta de Lima may be seen as a prudent measure to preserve the integrity of the game, it also raises concerns about the lack of clarity and consistency in referee appointment criteria. While some question why a referee with Ceretta de Lima's history and reputation would be appointed to a game involving a club he apparently admires, others argue that his competence as a referee should be the sole criterion considered. As leagues seek to preserve the integrity of the game, it is essential to ensure that referees are appointed based on their ability to make impartial and objective decisions. At the same time, it is important to recognize the pressures and challenges faced by referees in an increasingly scrutinized environment. The question remains: where to draw the line between competence and perception on the field? (Source: MLS Multiplex)
