If You Could Change One Rule In Football ...

How about the one from the world cup the ball was going in the net and then handball
Ok you get a penalty but the player missed and then the game goes to a shoot out and you are out of the cup because someone cheated

Definitely diving or time wasting related.

I really do think video evidence should be used for diving. If someone can banned for an elbow after the game then a diving cheat should get a ban too.

If you dive - 3 game ban.

I'd have to go for that to as blatant diving (no contact) really anoys me, as i basically class it as cheating.

Oh and anyone harrassing the ref or asking for players to be booked - 3 game ban.

There would be no one left if I was in charge haha

I get to sentence any 1 player from each match to death by firing squad if they displease me.

 

[Obvious Mancunian]

that's not very well thought through is it lol, all they would have to do is pretend they're injured, thus meaning a forced substitution.

Edited just for you ;)

but what if it was forc.... haha only kidding :)

Any players that surround the ref after he's made a decision against them should be automatically booked...no question.

Not that some of these are not already rules but just need to be enforced.

1 use of arms hands for shirt pulling etc. inside the penalty box- Penalty
2 Video referees- constantly in touch with pitch side ref using replay technology for offside, diving, goals etc. should be no need to stop the game for analysis
3 players not allowed to talk to ref only the team captain or one other nominated person if captain is a goal keeper
4 accurate time keeping by fourth official, for added time at injuries, goals and substitutions. I.e. when play is stopped to when it starts again, none of this judgement of time for subs, goals or injuries.

The current rules allow the ref to be easily influenced by crowd, manager and players.

Don’t mind if the decisions are fair but we all know they are biased and blatantly wrong even when in favour of your own team, it just makes the whole thing a farce at times.

Players going off after treatment. It's bollox.

 

[bluevengence]

Reinstate the old offside rule

Got to be video referee, 3 appeals per side each match

No substitutions after 85 minutes, i also agree about the accurate timekeeping being brought in, as with rugby.
