That referee's be picked from a random pot from all four divisions rather than having the same bunch of 10/12 that we have week in week out, I feel the current system leaves itself open to corruption.

This is quite good. My old idea would be that the 4 officials would meet the captains prior to the game and draw lots for ref, AR and 4th official. They are all referees and this would stop making celebrities out of people like Poll. Also stop anyone getting to them.
 
that every game be a win for either side..no draws. it would work the same as in boxing,if the scores are level then a judge(s) decide the winner based on attacking play,shots etc etc. imagine how open the games would be.
 
Sorry for being greedy but here are three for the things that really wind me up....

1. Whoever picks up the ball for a throw-in, has to take it.
2. If a goalkeeper is sent off, you can not replace him with the sub keeper.
3. Revert back to taking goalkicks from whatever side they go out.
 
Stronger Refereeing at Corners.

Some Defenders just do Shirt pulling and pushing now at corners. It is like watching Wrestling. This appears to me to only have come into the Game since Chelsea ( Carvarlio and Terry are the Worlds best ) came to the top of the English Game.

Plenty of penalties given and it would soon stop.
 
Concerning officials. I Like the idea of an extra official behind each goal. Possibly giving the officials a last chance to prove they can get most calls right. Before the inevitability of VT.

I know you asked for one suggestion Lakey, But here's a few:

If the ball is going in the net and an outfield player stops it with his hand, just award it as a goal and leave the player on the pitch.

Stop players running the ball into corners of the pitch to waste time at the end of games, By awarding obstruction for the other team.

Allow linesmen to enter the field of play when the ref is out of position to get better view.

That lino rule is best so far
 
My idea is quite simple. When you have a free kick, you can move it to anywhere as long as it's not further forward than it should be.

This might sound crazy, but think about a free kick right on the edge of the penalty area. Not ideal, but if you could move it back to a position you think you can score from, say about 5 yards back so that you can get the ball up and down for a decent effort you'd have a decent chance. Also, if it was on the by line, you could pull it back to make a better position. It would have to be within reason. Say a 10 yard [half] radius or something.

I think this would make cynical fouls decrease as the defender would be scared of conceding a free kick in an area considered not too dangerous, only to be made more dangerous by the moving of the free kick.
 
If a Goalkeeper is sent off the team punished cannot put their sub keeper on in place of an outfield player.
 
Home draw - 1 point
Away draw - 2 points
Home win - 3 points
Away win - 4 points
 
Make the goals bigger!

Seriously. They've been the same dimensions since they were standardised in 1875, when the average height was 5ft 5. Players are much bigger nowadays.
 
a public clock that only records the time that the ball is in play .ten players per side when the pitch is minimum size or make minimum size bigger. scrap offside on a trial basis.Or my favourite, replace the FA with a body fit for purpose,and the rest will take care of itself.
 
I understand industrial language being used out of frustration but I believe an immediate yellow card and a huge fine for swearing AT match officials and, when speaking to the referee, like rugby Union, the ref should be addressed to as "Sir" or "Referee"
Nothing annoys me more than players and managers alike shouting directly into an officials face "you f***ing c**t" What example is that setting to today's youth and the next generation of players.
Also, again like Rugby Union, when a player is spoken to by the Ref, the player's captain should be present.
 
My changes have already been mentioned, but for the reprise;

Offside is offside; if the ball was played forward past the second to last man and anyone is forward of said second to last man no matter where on the pitch the linesman should flag. If the defender can't spot the danger and get himself off the pitch or forward then it's their problem.

Dismissed goalkeepers must be replaced by someone already on the pitch.

No swearing at match officials. At all.

If vidic so much as raises his hands above head high ie elbowing! he is banned for 3 matches.

he gets away with it too much
send players off for being ugly, fat or red. seriously though a yellow for shielding the ball out for a goal kick, a 3 match ban for diving even if its seen after the game on video and let the physio on the pitch while the game carries on.
 
not so much a rule, but i would stop the referee's lecturing players after virtually every tackle.

take saturday for instance, there was a classic 50-50 challenge involving bridge, if he had won the ball he would have nudged it to robinhio, and city would have been in a good position, he was a milli second late, and commited a foul, but it was simply a ball he had to challenge for.

i am curious to know what the ref said for approximately 30 seconds, "can you refrain from challenging for 50-50 balls"

for a rule change, just stop the laughable injured player leaves the pitch, whats that all about, another blatter farce.

ok, and i would stop 3rd place teams dropping out of the champions league, it makes a mockery of the uefa cup

Brings back great memories of Niall Quinn going into goal & saving that penalty.... if this rule came in, can we sign him again??!!
