The Referees of the Premier League have told that they have to cling to deliberate retentionable this season, in a movement that could see more punishments that have been awarded of corner kicks.
Civil servants have been told to keep a close eye on incidents in set-play, where players hinder their opponents by holding them with both arms, are aimed at their opponent instead of a challenge for the ball and where holding the movements of the attacker influences.
The new guideline comes last season after various flash points and behind the back of feedback from top clubs, who believe that referees have been too flexible around intentional holding, which is often praised as part of the dark arts of the game.
The hard attitude has been communicated to players, who have been told to expect mistakes to be granted. If fines are given, the decisions can still be checked by VARs, which may recommend that the officer on the field should change his decision if a clear error has been taken.
Simulation will also be the target, while for major decisions referees can assume a 'only' approach to the captain, where they invite the skipper to explain their thinking. Captains are also expected to lead protesting teammates away from the civil servant. Where the captain is a keeper, an outfield player can be nominated.
As previously reported, keepers will now be on a 'clock' of 8 seconds in an attempt to clamp the waste of time. That clock only starts if there are no opposition players in the area and they are able to release the ball.
Ref-Cam, in which civil servants wear cameras, will be tested for the first six to eight rounds.
It was also confirmed that players from Topvlucht will take their knee again in October as part of the No Room for Racism campaign of football.

Captains of top side have decided, however, that they will fall to the grass in what they feel, remains a powerful symbol.
