Goals scored or created with the use of an accidental handball will not stand from next season onwards, the International FA Board (Ifab) have confirmed.
The changes mean that a free-kick will be awarded when a goal or clear chance occurs from a handball.
Ifab technical director David Elleray explained the changes at their AGM in Aberdeen.
"Deliberate handball remains an offence," Elleray stressed.
"In the past we've managed to improve the laws by focusing on outcome rather than intent.
"What we are looking at particularly in attacking situations is where the player gets a clear unfair advantage by gaining possession or control of the ball, as a result of it making contact with their hand or arm."
Standard of Scottish refereeing "very high" - InfantinoSo what has changed?
The changes mean gaining control or possession and then scoring as a consequence of handling the ball will not be allowed - neither will a goal scored directly from handling the ball, regardless of intent.
Another change to the laws of the game means that if the player's arms extend beyond a "natural silhouette", handball will be given, even if it is perceived as accidental.
Elleray says this is an effort to put an end to defenders placing their arms behind their backs in fear of giving away a free-kick.
"We've changed it to say the body has a certain silhouette," said Elleray. "If the arms are extended beyond that silhouette then the body is being made unnaturally bigger, with the purpose of it being a bigger barrier to the opponent or the ball.
"Players should be allowed to have their arms by their side because it's their natural silhouette."
In other changes approved by Ifab, substitutes will have to leave the pitch at the nearest goalline or touchline instead of walking to their technical area in a bid to stop time wasting.
Additional approved law changes included measures to deal with attacking players causing problems in the defensive wall, giving a dropped ball in certain situations when the ball hits the referee and the goalkeeper only being required to have one foot on the line at a penalty kick.

The change in law regarding substitution and time wasting is long overdue. You’d still get delaying tactics though. Why not just give them a maximum of 15 seconds to get off the pitch and book them if they don’t? |  |

why not just have anindependent time keeper who stops the clock? Would put a stop to all that shit, and the tratment gambit immediately. It's currently because they KNOW the ref doesn't add the true time on. |  |

They also need to introduce cards for the way players speak to the ref and assistants. Byers outburst yesterday when he fouled a player in the South West corner was disgraceful, no need for it. |  |

Byers strikes me as a bit of a dick tbh, needs to tone it down and remember where he is and where his priorities are. |  |

So any player using their arms to maintain balance under any circumstances is deemed guilty if the ball strikes their hand or arm.
So all player jumping have to do so with their arms at their sides, that is going to take some practice. |  | | |

There should be an automatic yellow card for any player that picks up the ball after his team has conceded a free kick. |  | | |

Apparently. Sounds cr@p to me. But then, you'll hear tw@ts like Lineker say that they should change it so that if the ball ever touches an arm, intentional or otherwise, it should be handball - "to avoid any grey areas". What hope is there? | | | |

That and if there's more than one sub they have to take pace concurrently. Waiting for one to walk off the pitch, replacement comes on, and then waiting for the second one to walk off has to be one of the more stupid things on a football pitch. |  | | |
