What would you change about the rules of football?

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

Interesting idea from the bbc today
(couldn't find any reference to it on bluemoon)...

If you could change one rule or thing about football today what would it be?

Obviously, offside was heavily debated, like very marginal ones should be ignored,
and anthony taylor even suggesting that offside should be abolished altogether.

Have a read and have your say on here, fuck the bbc :)

I’d bring a rule in where you have to be at least ten yards away at free kicks.

Throw ins can be taken overarm.

Regarding offsides.

I would change it to "if the attacking player has any part of his body that he can legally score a goal with - onside, then he's classed as onside"

Would rule out goals being chalked off because the attacker has leaned forward too much by half a shoulder and also the toe offside calls.

Goal kicks to be taken within 15 seconds of defensive player accepting the ball.
Stop all this,put the ball down,throw to another defensive player ,spot the ball again,then restart.

Var.
It's shite

 

[Gaz76]

No red shirts allowed

 

[bluesteve1964]

Treatment for "injured" players without stopping the match like in rugby league. The number of fake head injuries is becoming a joke. Injuries now being used as a tactic by many teams. Amazing how injury free teams are when losing!!

 

[Stato]

if you are offside in the 6-yard box, you are offside, none of this are you interfering with play rubbish when you are that close to the goal.
I'd be tempted to extend it to the 18-yard box, tbh.
Even if you don't actively get involved with the play, the defender and keeper still have to keep an eye on you and almost treat you as onside in case someone is actually playing them on

I think having a neutral person on the pitch to fairly manage the game would be a good idea.

Let's call that person Margaret and say she supports neither team and they are both silly :)

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

No attacking players in the 6 yard box at corners and free kicks. Would stop all this nonsense pushing and shoving just to be able to obstruct the keeper at a stroke.

 

[City Raider]

Rags start a goal behind every match.

Hang on…

Visual clock that stops whenever the ball is out of play.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The attacking team should be able to elect to move a free kick they’ve been awarded as far back as they wish parallel with the sideline.

 

[Roberto Manciti]

Any player wearing a red shirt (or one with a cockerel on it) will be sent off immediately.

 

[fierydan]

This is one that Gallagher keeps pushing.
35 minutes on the clock with a timekeeper,timer on the screen.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I think the ref should be able to retrospectively change the rules mid-game to allow all disallowable goals for Livarpool to stand.

 

[NorCalBlue]

Would rule out goals being chalked off because the attacker has leaned forward too much by half a shoulder and also the toe offside calls.

This would produce more goals, but you'd have just as many annoyingly close calls - they'd just be "heal not quite onside by a millimetre" instead of "toe just offside by a millimetre".

This works very well in egg chasing!
