1. Microphone all officials up, including VAR, any decisions that have to be discussed can be heard over the stadium PA system
2. Have VAR replays shown on the screen (if you haven’t got a screen, tough shit)
3i. Have an independent timer other than the referee and make each half 35 minutes with the clock stopping every time the ball goes out of play (even 35 minutes each-way is 10 more minutes per game than the games with the most amount of ball-in-play now where BIP for most football games under an hour)
or;
3ii. Have a countdown clock for all goal kicks, corners, throw-ins and free kicks… if the hooter sounds because a team has not restarted play in-time, it’s an indirect free kick to the other team where the incident has taken place and a yellow card to the player who was taking it
4. Anyone who wastes time in any manner is automatically booked the second time they do it (after the first time being warned), even if it’s in the third minute of the game… anyone who wastes time after already being booked for it is warned again, and if they do it for a fourth time they’re sent off
5. Anyone caught blatantly diving or getting up and running off within seconds of rolling around like they’ve stood on a landmine is sent off immediately, even if it’s missed by the officials they still get a retrospective one game ban… caught again in a subsequent game it’s a two game ban… a third time a three game ban
6. Stop waving ‘Play-on’ when someone is fouled and the ball ends up going backwards and there is no advantage, there is only an advantage if they are advancing directly towards goal
7. If someone goes down injured, they must leave the field for three minutes and the team is down to ten men. If it’s a head injury they must leave the field for a Head Injury Assessment (which in rugby is 15 minutes) and you have to use up a substitute to replace them (who can be taken off again if they pass the HIA)
8. Anyone swearing at the officials is sent off immediately
9. All clubs must put aside 25% of their season tickets as cheap tickets
10. Ban the sale of half’n’half scarves at football stadiums
11. Ban musical instruments in football stadiums
12. Do not expand the Champions League
13. Never allow a Winter World Cup to go ahead ever again
14. Align all continental international tournaments (Euros, Copa, ACON) to the same years and make Africa have theirs in the Summer (if the Americas can, so can they)
15. Find a way to even up League standards across Europe so that leagues like Poland (and others like it) have a strong representative in the CL.
