Keepers will now get 8 seconds once they have the ball under control in their hands to release it back into play. Either drop it, throw it or kick it.
Under the new rules the ref will count down the final 5 seconds on his fingers to indicate to the keeper he's being timed.
The punishment for holding the ball is no longer an in-direct free kick instead it will be a corner kick.
New rule comes in front the start of next season.
I look forward to this being rigidly enforced for a few weeks then scrapped because everyone decides they hate it.
