If you could change the rules of football...

You can't reward players for failing to hit the target or in some cases weren't even trying to score.

Why should the the winger be awarded with the goal just because a defender with two left feet deflected the cross into his own net?
I used to play hockey and remember scoring goals where I purposefully shot at a defender's leg to bank it in.
Also, putting the ball into the danger area and forcing them to play it into their own net is as good as a goal imo.
 
No red cards for technical offences - shirt off, kicking ball away, etc. Instead, sin bin for ten mins.

Ten seconds to put the ball back into play or possession reverts to opposition.

Time ball is in play instead of 45 mins (?) per half!

No injuries treated on the field. If yer injured yer go off.

Offsides to be determined by clear daylight measured from attacker's and defender's feet!

And I ref all City games.
 
Only players on the losing side in the last 5 minutes of a game are allowed to get treatment for 'cramp'
 
Anytime the ref has to stop play for an "injury" that player is off for 5 minutes.

Clear daylight on offsides.

10seconds for throw-ins/goal kicks

VAR but only with manager/captain challenges. You only get max 3 per match and if you lose a challenge, then another of yours get taken away.

Only the captain can talk to the ref, any talk back or hand gesture from other players, automatic yellow, then red.

No handball within in 10yards unless there is clear and obvious move towards the ball. Outside 10yards, automatic handball.
 
When a fouled player has to received treatment and then leave the pitch, the fouling player also has to leave the pitch for the same amount of time.

Totally transparent VAR with the public able to hear and see what is being discussed as per Rugby

Subbed player to leave pitch at nearest side to him

Edit:

Consistency with foul decisions irrespective of in the box or not
 
3 match ban for racist chanting for home fans only.

Hand to ball only is handball, you can put your hands where you want if it’s before the ball is kicked.

Any body part of an attacking player in line with last defender keeps him onside.

Scrap seeding teams for cup competitions.

Refs miced up and have to do post match interviews.

Suspensions are only served against the club you received the ban playing against.

Scrap penalties. Instead, during extra time, remove a player from both teams from a pre decided list every 5 minutes until there is a next goal, that goal wins the game.
