How many familiar faces will we see returning next season? Please could anybody tell me how many of yesterday's squad were playing at the end of last season? I reckon 5 or 6. I look forward to reading about new signings and players re-signing? The federation would probably like us to keep the same squad as they are probably drinking pina coladas in Acapulco thanks to our poor discipline. If the squad doesn't change we must do something about our discipline. Even through red coloured spectacles you cannot blame the Officials for every red or yellow card we have received.

I think we had 4 playing yesterday who played the last game of last season (Pena, Diego, Andreo and Jose Da) This may be wrong as I am not sure of all their full names. A case to investigate for Nottinghams finest retired copper I think!

New season, new rules... #1
There will be some new rules coming into effect this season - and we’re going to explain them to you throughout the day, so here goes for the first:
GOAL KICKS
Whether it’s Sunday League or the Premier League, we’re used to seeing defenders awkwardly waiting for the ball to leave the penalty area after a goal kick.
Until now, players haven’t been able to touch the ball until after the ball rolls out of the 18-yard box, but that’s changing.
So the IFAB have again got involved deciding there’s no longer any need for that rule in their latest modernisation of the game’s laws.
What is the new rule?
From the new season, the ball is active from the second it leaves the goalkeepers foot in a goal-kick situation.
Teammates or attackers no longer have to wait until the ball leaves the penalty area to take control of it.
What was the purpose of the rule?
The rule catered for what we now know as ‘old-fashioned football’.
In years gone by, goal kicks were used to lump the ball up field - it was essentially a free clearance.
But that has changed, and now we are far more accustomed to seeing goal kicks taken short as teams look to build up an attack from the back.
Long goal kicks have become a thing of the past and as a result, so has this rule.
Why has the rule been changed?
With goal kicks being played short more often than not, there’s no need to slow things down by forcing a defender, or indeed an attacker, to wait for the ball to leave the area.
So, in the first instance, the new rule streamlines the game.
But this adjustment isn’t just for the defenders.Previously, if the goal-kick was poorly taken and an attacker was left waiting for the ball on the edge of the box along with a defender, the defending player could step into the box to touch the ball, forcing a retake rather than risking the attacker winning the ball and getting an opportunity on goal.
That’s long been considered a silly consequence of the rule.
Now, if the goal-kick is poorly taken, the ball is fair game from the off. As long as the attacker is outside the box when the ball is kicked, they can intercept the ball and take advantage as soon as the ball leaves the goalkeeper’s foot.

New season, new rules: #2
PENALTIES
Penalties as we know them may never be the same again.
The rules surrounding spot kicks are changing and we have already had a taster in the women’s World Cup this summer.
Tthe IFAB, have decided penalties need to change, adding significant tweaks ahead of the new season.
What are the new rules?
Somewhere in the world, Jerzy Dudek is shedding a tear.
Goalkeepers are no longer allowed to move before a penalty, meaning no bluffing, no pointing and no funny dance moves.
There will be a ‘no-movement’ provision ahead of the new season for goalkeepers in a penalty situation.
The other rule tweak became rather unpopular in the women’s World Cup, though largely down to VAR.
Goalkeepers now have to have at least one foot on the line when the penalty is taken.
That means they can’t ‘move significantly’ towards the ball and they’re not even allowed to start behind the line and jump forward. If they do, there will be a retake.
Goalkeepers are effectively being stuck to the spot ahead of the new season.
Why are the new rules coming into play?
The rulemakers are tired of goalkeepers being able to influence the penalty taker.
Penalties are designed to be a unique opportunity to score but with goalkeepers playing mind games, bluffing and distracting the taker, rulemakers have been unhappy with how likely goalkeepers actually are to make a save.
The new rules should see the penalty become easier to score.

New season, new rules: #3
DROP BALLS
Remember contested drop balls? When the referee would drop the ball between two players, creating a split second of chaos.
We’ve seen less and less of those in recent years and now they have finally been cut out of the game altogether.
The IFAB, have decided that contested drop balls will be no more, replacing them with the uncontested drop balls we have become accustomed to in recent years.
What are the new rules?
From the coming season, when a drop ball is required, referees will drop the ball to the team that last touched the ball.
That, of course, means we will see less of the ‘sporting’ actions that saw teams who were on the attack having to start again with the opposing team returning the ball to the goalkeeper.
Teams will now have the opportunity to resume their attack from exactly where they left it.
Though, should a player kick the ball out in a sporting action, a throw-in followed by a sporting kick back to the goalkeeper is still likely to play out.
This season, we will also see drop balls awarded for instances when the ball hits a match official, as long as the incident leads to a change of possession, a goal or a promising attack.
The drop ball will take place at the site of the last touch, and all players but the one receiving the ball must be at least four metres away from the ball.
Why are the new rules being introduced?
The new rules are being introduced to stop the all-out war that often takes place in a contested drop ball.
Those versions of drop balls have long been dubbed dangerous and there’s a reason we have seen less and less of them in football in recent years.
The game’s rulemakers have now gone one better, stamping them out altogether.
They’re also tired of seeing wasted attacks with those so-called ‘sporting actions’ leading to teams losing their attacking advantage, having to start again from the goalkeeper.
That’s why we’re now going from the last touch, with teams being encouraged to wait until the referee blows his whistle, rather than needlessly kicking the ball out.
Of course, we will still see instances when the ball is put out, but part of the aim of these rules is to make those situations more uncommon.

New season, new rules: #4
HANDBALL
One for Kemar Roofe...
What are the new handball rules?
There are a number of significant changes to the handball rule.Firstly, if a player scores with the use of a hand, both accidental and intentional, it will be disallowed.
The biggest change related to intent. Handballs no longer needs to be intentional for it to be given.
It’s all about the positioning of the arm or hand.
If the arm or hand makes the body ‘unnaturally bigger’, it is handball.
The rules say that an arm or hand above the shoulder can ‘rarely be a natural position’.Having the arm or hand in that position is considered a risk on the part of the player.
Of course, if the arm or hand is away from the body, it will be considered to be making the body ‘unnaturally bigger’ and a handball will be given.
The only exception is when a player puts their hand on the floor to support themselves when making a sliding challenge or falling. If the ball hits an arm or hand in that situation, it won’t be given as handball.
Do deflections differ?
Yes. Players will be ‘given extra leeway’ when the ball deflects off an arm or hand.
If the ball deflects off an opponent or teammate and it’s deemed impossible for the player to move their arm or hand in time, a handball won’t be given.
That’s also the case if the ball comes quickly from a body part of their own.
For example, should they accidentally mis-head the ball onto their own arm, handball won’t be given.
Why have the rules changed?
The rules have needed clarifying for some time, and it’s no surprise to see IFAB polishing them in the latest ‘improvements’ to the game’s laws.
For years we heard pundits making comments like ‘unnatural positioning’ when that language wasn’t even in the rules.
We also saw many disagreements about what was and wasn’t intentional - it was almost impossible for officials to decipher, often giving handball whether it was truly intentional or not.
So that language has been thrown out, with IFAB making things clearer for officials ahead of the new season.
These rules should make things easier to understand for everyone involved.

Just thought I'd mention that the Tercera Fixture list for this season seems to have disappeared off the Federation website!
Of course, it could just be a systems glitch! Or maybe.............
