Refs to Punish Bad Behaviour?

Manchester United Players Intimidating The Ref As Per Usual
Apparently, a concerted effort by the English Football Association (FA), Premier League (EPL) and Football League (EFL) aims to stamp out "intolerable behaviour" by players and managers during the coming season.
I'll believe it when I see it.
For far too many years, players and managers have been allowed to get away with a variety of disciplinary offences with the aim of intimidating referees and influencing their decision making.

Another Daft New Offside Rule

Simplicity itself
It seems that there is to be a new Offside Rule coming into effect for the Premier League this season. Apparently, a player in an offside position is only to be ruled offside if he:
  1. Clearly attempts to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent or;
  2. Makes an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball.
