PGMOL’s Major Change Set to Cause Chaos in the Premier League
The Premier League is gearing up for another thrilling season, and the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has made a significant change that’s got fans talking. The refereeing body is set to introduce a new rule that could have a major impact on the game, particularly for one player who’s already caught the attention of fans.
According to The Times, PGMOL will be changing the way holding (blocking or obstructing) is officiated, particularly during set pieces. The new rule will penalize players more stringently for holding opponents, which could lead to more penalties and free kicks being awarded.
This change has already got fans thinking about Arsenal defender Ben White, who’s notorious for his physical play. One fan joked on Twitter, "Ben White getting nerfed," while another added, "Ben White will take s**thousery to the next level this season and I’m here for it."
The change could also lead to more goals being ruled out for infringements, which could be a major blow to teams relying on set pieces to score. However, it’s worth noting that the new rule could also lead to more fair play and fewer disputes on the pitch.
Arsenal fans, in particular, are concerned about the impact this change could have on their team. Ben White has been a key player for the Gunners, and his physical play has often been a source of controversy. However, the new rule could also benefit Arsenal, as it could lead to more free kicks and penalties being awarded to them.
Overall, the PGMOL’s new rule change is set to add another layer of drama to the Premier League season. With the introduction of semi-automated offside technology and the loosening of handball rules, this season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.
