Ideas for making football more exciting like it used to be

Honestly, tactical fouls should be a sin bin. Genuine attempts to win the ball are not included, if they stop a break they can just be a standard yellow card.

Everyone knows the ones, no attempt to play the ball, just a drag back or tripping the opponent when on the break.

They're not red cards but also it's basically equating a yellow card with the chance to score a goal, which is why people happily take the yellows.

Cue everyone trying to get opponents sin-binned, so it has to accompanied with zero tolerance to dissent and a crack down on diving.

Less clinical VAR interference. If it takes over 2 minutes to justify an offside decision, the attacking player probably isn't offside.

VAR is far less involved than ever before and they go with the refs onfield decision unless it’s a ‘clear and obvious’ miss - obviously they’ll always be marginal decisions that people don’t agree with , however less interference is what we are getting and it’s improving year by year - Agree some offsides are still taking too long.

Heavy machineguns for fullbacks.

Offside to only be given is there is a clear gap between the players instead of the current farce and endless delays while the size of players boots is debated.
