If you could devise a football rule/law which would have to

[Azblue90]

Mic the refs as it was mentioned already. They do it in rugby and we can atleast hear their thinking. They do it in American football as well where they pretty much explain their decisions to the entire stadium. That's a bit ott, but hearing what they are saying would be nice.

Refs are so unapprochable in the game when a player approaches they get sent away straight away, now there's no room for abusing the ref on a pitch, but I do think there are times when it wouldn't be out of the question for a ref to talk to the players.
Just the captains should be able to talk to the ref without being threatened with a yellow. And likewise if there's a problem the ref could call aside a player and their captain to explain what it is he wants from them.

And I think treatement should be given while the game plays on. Time only to be stopped if it's very serious.
It would stop a lot of pissing about the place.
Or time be stopped when there's an injury.
This would allow for goal line technology to be brought in and stop the clock when there's a challenge.

the clock freezes at every set piece

 

[Bindi Bundi]

The clock to stop every time the ball is out of play or when a free kick is awarded. Only resumes when the ball is moving again. Time wasting is stopped immediately.
The nearest player to where the ball goes out of play for a throw in has to take the throw.
Players to be treated whilst play continues unless a serious injury.
Players to be booked when ever they question a referees decision.
Goal keepers to release the ball within 7 seconds. Why did it stop?
Bring in foreign officials to officiate in important games. They have no bias and are not so easily influenced.
Players who swear at officials to be shown the red card every time, As per the rule book. Rooney will never play again.

Any player feigning injury has to be subbed. Oh yeah and rags can get cards have goals ruled out and other teams get free kicks and penalty's against them.

Rugby yuck.... Who cares what their rules are. They get 10 men and a dog at their games and about 15 people watch the games on tv. Buff guys rolling around in the mud together acting tough. One of the gayest things ive ever had the displeasure to watch. Not sure what is more boring. Nascar, darts, tennis, water polo, diving, synchronised swimming, golf, snooker, curling, bowls or rugby.

Not sure what level you've watched it at, but rugby's changed. It's a massive fan base and it puts football to shame at times.

If a player goes down then only stop play when the ref says so...none of this putting the ball out cos of someone going down,cos lots of the time its the player timewasting..
The ref is in charge of all incidents during a game,why should this be any different ?In all cases the restart should be a drop ball from the position the game was stopped by the ref blowing his whistle...Unless of course it was a foul on the player who went down then normal proceedure should be followed.

Massive fanbase? You have got to be a wum mate. Rugby and massive fan base in the same sentance is like saying bill gates and poverty in the same sentance.

actually it goes as well as you and stupid opinions.

I'd like to see referees be treated as in any other profession and to have facebook/twitter and be able to talk openly about decisions etc.
