Claudio Ranieri earned the nickname ‘Tinkerman’ during his spell in Chelsea, because he forever changed his playerline-ups, but that interfering name should now certainly be passed on to the administrative bodies of football.
Next season there will be more new rule changes. When will this ever end and will you, like me, be stunned and equally stunned about what the actual rules of football are?
Next season will be keepers Burned to hold the ball for more than eight seconds, with the punishment a corner to the attacking team.
Referees should indicate when a keeper held the ball for three seconds, so that he still has five seconds to release it. Apparently this new rule has been tested and will be present for next season.
So what was wrong with the old rule that keeper gave six seconds to release, with punishment in the form of an indirect free kick? Beats me. It was almost never enforced.
The body that with this latest crazy crafts, I meant well -investigated brainstorming, the international football club, must have spent it on it for a long time. Probably in a well-filled five-star hotel somewhere near the Swiss Alps headquarters of FIFA.
The aim of this latest change is to reduce the waste of time, but how can expand the possession of six to eight seconds do that?
And also the fact that the ‘old’ rule was almost never imposed means sure it was a good rule.
A bit like a competent referee, if you don’t know they are there, chances are that the civil servant will do a considerable task.
Every year we are told that the companies of greedy water clean up their act and every season brings football changes that fans confuses hell. The waters pollute, so to speak.

We have had ‘golden’ goals, ‘silver’ goals, the advance of ten meters rule, you name it. If someone can successfully tell me what the current rules are around handball, let me know.
As far as VAR is concerned, we say that the jury is still on that.
We have been told that the introduction of semi-automated offside technology will resolve the ridiculous amount of time that the Stockley Park judgeers have taken to actually make a decision.
Well, that was not true last weekend in the West Ham V Forest Game, because the quick check that we were promised changed an unbearable delay of six minutes because the offside technology did not work.
And don’t let me start with the rules for financial fair play.
Professor Brian Cox can perhaps call all the stars in the air, but even he would struggle with it.
I am the first to admit that some changes have been great benefits. In 1992, the introduction of the BackPass rule where keepers cannot handle the ball when it was deliberately kicked by a teammate.
When will this ever end and will you, like me, be stunned and equally stunned about what the actual rules of football are?

Goal line technology came in 2012 after the commotion about the goal of the Frank Lampard World Cup ‘Die-Dat-Nooit-Was’. That was another one. But in the past seasons, the dribble of control changes has become a downpour.
From allowing the kick -off in any direction, to teams that now need a mandatory supplier, complete with bracelet, to extra subs if a player has received a concussion.
Does one of these actually improved fan pleasure?
Please leave the game alone. The board of the International Football Association must adhere to the wise man, more likely woman, who said, if it is not brutal, don’t repair it. Or to say it differently, stop bloody crafts.
I just wait for the first referee next season to give a corner after a keeper has violated this latest control change.
Cue hundreds of examples of furious fans where the ‘attack’ was not seen.
Football. They say it used to be a simple game with two jumpers and a ball. No longer.
