To an extent I am, I almost wish it was a 5 yard offside rule. I don't think someone should be punished for making a good incisive run that ended up being barely offside. I think it would open up the play of the game a little bit without turning it into a long ball fest that would follow the elimination of the offside rule completely.

I could be wrong, and I know someone will disagree, because admittedly I haven't thought this through completely to fruition and I just like the banter that comes along with proposing something like this.

I guess I believe offside calls would at least seem less egregious, and it would be easier to judge something like 5 yards more than expecting them to get calls right to mere inches.

I would make changes in how the offside rule is implemented. Let the linesman raise the flag, but the play always goes on and then, only if a goal is scored will the offside be checked using video replays.

A fair few of the rules mentioned are already a part of futsal.

Two-touch: After the goalkeeper has touched the ball he may not touch the ball again until the opposing team has touched it or the period of play has ended(free kick, throw in etc).

Time lmits on keeper: The keeper only has 4 seconds to get rid of the ball if played back to their feet, possibly an increase in time for a bigger pitch but you get the jist, just stops timewasting.

Time stoppages: When play stops so does the counter, like people have mentioned would stop the issues with added time, whistle blows as soon as the time is up, not controlled by the referee.

+ 1

Mine is : I'd allow managers to make 4 or 5 substitutions . Many might not use it but at least the possibilty is there.

no away goal or such anymore : it's pointless now as teams travel easier than before and it's also easier for their fans. The first game out of the 2 has too much impact of the second as you'll see many teams who simply park the bus when they get their so important '' away goal ''

That's not a good rule, it would make bad penalty takers get tackled more often and offer no benefits.

I don't know if I would be a fan of that rule but I wouldn't really call it a bad one. Most of the time, it's strikers or playmakers who get fouled in the box anyways and they're all decent pk takers aren't they?

I wouldn't force the player who got fouled to take the kick. What if he got hurt somewhat? That could possibly mess up the shot.

Instead of having all this added time rubbish, just have the clock stop every time the ball goes out of play, ref calls a foul, a sub is made or any other event that holds up play takes place

Yeah. And the 4th refree can be in charge of that. But isn't it done that way now! Only without stopping the clock!!

Letting the fouled player take the kick doesn't make sense.
I mean what if its a Handball? who takes it?

Also, a player could always pretend to be "Injured" and not take the kick.

by Error Tue May 14, 2013 12:08 pm

+1 for penalty (and freekicks) taker being the one who has been fouled. In case the opposition has made the foul (e.g. handball) then team can decide who takes the kick.

Banning players after game based on vid replays. Most dives are easy to notice from vids and would make players think twice if it's a worth to get banned for 2-3 matches.

I would also force players who has been "injured" aka faking it and lying on the ground to go to touchline and sit there 5 mins. Would reduce a lot of the needless time playing since their team would be handicapped for 5 mins. If you are really injured you're not going to get back on field fast anyway.

I would also be tempted to reduce the amount of players on field to 10 from 11. It would open the game up on whole new level and to compensate the extra miles players have to run is to allow managers to do 1-2 subs more.

Finally, I would also remove the limit of players needed to choose for a game. So no more 7 substitute players only on bench. It's a team sport and coaches should have an option to select from all his available players to make bigger strategic moves.

If a player is subbed off you can bring them back on

by VanDeezNuts Tue May 14, 2013 4:56 pm

oh a big one for me.. if a player is rolling around on the ground feigning injury, he must not be allowed to come back on the field.

he should be sent to the hospital.

by Zealous Tue May 14, 2013 5:18 pm

Have two refs on the field instead of one. hmm

Nah there would be masses of incidents where an offside player gets the ball, the game continues for 30 seconds and they score. It would be a disallowed goal and minutes of time would be wasted watching parts of the game that couldn't possible result in a goal.

Terrible rule. Not every offside involves a player running through on goal.

I would eliminate the away rule and let a game go into extra time if both teams have scored equal amount of goals over the two legs

I would also let the football association make late changes to a reffs decision if they have given the wrong card I know the reffs don't like it but it would stop tackles such as the macmanaman one. id also like them to ban repeat divers severly.

I am also a fan of the idea of the clock stopping on a foul this will stop the stupid injury time that opposition player abuse anyways by again feigning an injury

I support the idea of players sitting out for a period of time if they have gotten injured. this could possibly stop players from pretending to be injured only to come on the field straight after

I personally am a big fan of the away goal rule. It genuinely is more difficult to score away from home, in an hostile environment. The team that does score away should have an advantage IMO.
The only problem i find in this rule is Extra Time. If 2 teams are level on aggregate and on away goals after 180 mins, then the Away Goal rule should cease to exist for the subsequent 30 mins extra time.
