Ideas for making football more exciting like it used to be

[mexico1970]

Stop all this tiki-taka shit. Any player making a pass that travels less than 10 yards gets a yellow card, and the opposition get a free kick.

I don't mind the tika-taka as much when it's at speed and also when we play sideways balls when we are at the byline instead of passing back.

Chicken cannon
Wet t-shirt contest
Beer in the stands
Dwarf tossing.

Being allowed to take sets of darts and snooker balls into the stadium to launch at away fans
The real excitement is when they're returned

Fouled player to take penalty - if this not possible or the penalty is for handball then GK takes it. Ensures penalties are shared through the team and stops the greedy forwards getting disproportionate goal stats.

Offside if you can see absolute clear daylight between forward and defender. Half a toe is not offside.

Ban social media so that numpties hunting for likes, en-masse, can no longer convince everyone that the game used to be so much more exciting.

Dwarf tossing.

Dwarf is such an un- PC word.
For about 40 years now,a small adult is known as a PORG.
(Person Of Restricted Growth).
So it will be PORG tossing from now on.

Yeah, you've got to be some sort of a mental midget to use the term dwarf these days ;-)

As soon as a penalty is awarded, the team conceding the penalty have 8 seconds to vacate the area. Any outfield player in the box after that time gets a yellow card.
The keeper has 5 seconds to be stood on his line. None of this winding up the penalty taker by walking up to him nonsense. If he leaves his line before the kick is being taken, yellow card.
