The Premier League has released a statement announcing some rule changes for the 2024-25 season ahead of the new campaign, with two key points criticised by fans for the competition. There was controversy after the first rule, regarding the awarding of penalties during handball incidents, which the Premier League confirmed they wanted to reduce the number of handballs in the penalty area that the player had no intention of not taking. It was awarded as a penalty and all penalties are no longer available after several clubs expressed their dissatisfaction with the harsh decision.

Therefore he should not be punished twice for receiving a yellow card.
In the 2023-24 Premier League season, referees awarded a total of 108 penalties, although the Premier League is one of the leagues with the fewest penalties in handball.
In addition, each team has been allowed to send substitutes to the sidelines to warm up from 3 to 5 at a time, with the reserve quota increased in case of concussion, and ball-pickers will be allowed to pass the ball to the goalkeeper. Players can take a goal kick directly, while outfield players will still have to walk around and pick up the ball to play as normal. Players can enter the penalty area before a penalty kick is taken but must not take part in the play, and the ball is placed in penalty kicks The new rule states that only part of the ball must touch the centre of the penalty spot or be placed above the centre of the penalty spot.
“One of the issues with VAR over the last few years has been the uncertainty about when VAR should or should not intervene,” said Tony Scholes, the Premier League’s chief football officer.
“Referee decisions” are important because they help manage people’s expectations. We have situations where opinions are divided and VAR can’t always provide a clear answer. Since the real world isn’t always right or wrong, “referee decisions” give fans, managers and players a clearer understanding of the process. “Even if they don’t agree with the decision,” said Howard Webb, director of operations at referees’ organisation PGMOL.
However, PGMOL plans to introduce on-field referee announcements in some matches this season. But this is unlikely to happen in the Premier League.
The new 2023-24 Premier League season kicks off on Friday 16 August, with Manchester United opening Old Trafford to host Fulham in the first match.
