Question Number: 30541Law 8 - Start and Restart of Play 6/26/2016graeme ross of gree, scotland asks...can you tell me in what year the requirement for the ball to travel its' circumference was removed from the laws of the game? Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Graeme
There was a major rewrite of the Laws of the Game for the 1997 season. At that time the requirement for the ball to roll its circumference was removed and replaced with kicked and moves which had become the accepted practise in the game.
The Laws have just undergone a similar major rewrite and the word clearly has been added to moves
