Good as long as refs are consistent.
Hasn't this been tried before?
Offences which could earn players a yellow card
Visibly disrespectful behaviour to any match official;
An aggressive response to decisions;
Confronting an official face to face;
Running towards an official to contest a decision;
Offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures towards match officials;
Physical contact with any match official in a non-aggressive manner;
A yellow card for at least one player when two or more from a team surround a match official.
New red card offences
If a player confronts match officials and uses offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures towards them;
Physical contact with match officials in an aggressive or confrontational manner.
So, the word "could", is a massive get out clause for the refs.
Nothing will change.

I would like to see yellow cards issued to players and managers waving their hand in the air asking for player to be booked

Rooney would never see out a full game.

All these changes are merely enforcement of refereeing standards that have slipped over the years.
Fair call.Or you could say that it's the attitude of players that has worsened.
Hopefully it will filter down to school matches and parents' attitudes too.

Trouble is that word ' could' will lead to inconsistencies. Easliy solved though if players simply behave themselves.
The real issue is the grappling at corners. It is ridiculous how players have to almost fight just to get a run at the ball.
It would just need a couple of weekends of about twenty penalties and the defenders would soon be told by managers not to do it.
Ah but Macca is very clever. He will be swearing at the refs in German from now on. They wont have a clue.If these rules are adhered to Macca is f**** and Rooney will still get away with as part and parcel of his game
Yea as if that is going to happen !!!
Mind you supporters need to be careful as in the laws of the game if they give grief to the ref he can take their name and report them !!!
True story a local ref down here, officious bloke who suffers from " little man syndrome" was refereeing a game in the local league and a supporter suggested he didn't have a good game!! The ref asked for his name as he was leaving the pitch, being told to F off by the supporter the officious ref waved a red card this meant it went into his match report and, in accordance with the league rules, a red card results in the club being fined £200.
They had to pay and he is inordinately proud of himself!!!! Just imagining how many cards a certain Mr Stroud might waive at the Bees fans!!! Could bankrupt the club !!!

There is a story that Paul Ince in one of his early games in Italy called Collina a bald headed Italian ****er as he thought he wouldn't understand. Little did he know Collina is fluent in several languages including English
I would say that Collina had a better grasp of the English language than Ince
