Snookerball
Instead of one, usually white, ball, play with several, differently coloured balls. Fifteen reds, a green, brown, yellow, blue, pink and black. Scoring with any of them gives you a number of goals, equivalent to the scoring in snooker.
Imagine the tactical decision-making involved. Do you defend the corner being taken with the green, or get your 'keeper to launch a break-away by hoofing the black, pink and blue upfield? Do you leave a few reds around your own six-yard box to tempt opposition strikers to try to poach, but risk being offside from a long (yellow) ball? Do you roll a red-ball penalty slowly to the bottom corner so the 'keeper dives, thereby leaving him out of position for a crossed colour ball?2 -
Refs keep slowing down the game to go and talk to players who are wrestling at corners. It's ridiculous.
Just blow the whistle, let the corner be taken and if someone is fouling someone, give the foul. They'll soon stop doing it.3 -

I think the problem is if two players are grappling with each other, who gets the decision?Chunes said:Refs keep slowing down the game to go and talk to players who are wrestling at corners. It's ridiculous.

you would have to let them both off which would lead to players targeting individuals to take them out the play0 -

So if a player approaches the referee who is not the captain, do they get a yellow card? And if it is 8 players, they all get a yellow card and two yellows and they are off? That could be interesting if rigorously appliedjimmymelrose said:

Offside decided by the position of the respective players' feet and no other part of the body.8

There's a few I'd change:
- Automatic red card for divers, as suggested by palarsehater in June 2016. Can't believe the authorities have been too slow to enact this.
- Amend the law on obstruction so that defenders can't just shield the ball to run out of play. We pay good money to see attacking action, not an endless succession on goal kicks.
- Referee to still blow for 90 minutes, but keeping track of time wasting to be giving the the 4th (or perhaps even a dedicated) official. Time wasted to be added independently for each team and offered to the opposition at the end of full time rather than played automatically (thus wasting time is always in your opponents favour).

Two things.
Firstly, allowing players to intentionally stand in front of the ball at a free kick. Sometimes they run from 20 yards away to do this……I give you Gillingham a night game at The Valley a few seasons back, time and time again. The ref ushering the guilty player to back off, which is often done at a reluctant shuffling snails pace. Should be an immediate card for me, he is deliberately holding up play and has no right to be there in the first place.
Secondly, throwins being taken yards away from where the ball has gone out of play.This seems to have become the acceptable norm these days (ok it’s always been done but nowadays it’s become increasingly ridiculous),…..lino’s should be instructed to play a much bigger part in enforcing the rule.1 -
Keeper sent off, outfield player has to go in goal.2

Match time not being some hidden secret on a refs watch, no excuses in pro leagues that the watches they use aren't synced to the stadium clock2

This one really does bother me. In the old days I assumed that the ref was stopping his watch and so he wouldn't know how much injury time there was, unless he had a second watch or something. But that's obviously not the case, or at least it isn't now - the ref and the fourth add an arbitrary amount of time on based on events (30 seconds for a sub, a minute for an injury, another minute for when the goalkeeper time wasted that one time etc.). And it's always to the minute! So stupid.Rothko said:Match time not being some hidden secret on a refs watch, no excuses in pro leagues that the watches they use aren't synced to the stadium clock0 -
Scotland can never qualify from a competition group stage. It is a rue/law right?0

Haven't thought this through in the slightest.. but I always liked the idea of punishing an offside by awarding a free kick from where the ball was played from. Would stop a lot of hoof ball and has the added bonus of more indirect free kicks inside the penalty area which are always fun to watch.1

Once in the opposition half, you cannot pass back into your own half.2

All penalty kicks must be taken by the person who was fouled.2

Not fair if the player's been crocked by the foul. I'd prefer the person who conceded the foul has to go in goal to face it - that'd make things more interesting if slightly bonkers if the player manages to get to it and parries it away, cos then you'd have the keeper charging from the edge of the area to get back in goal.RC_CAFC said:All penalty kicks must be taken by the person who was fouled.

The team that has conceded gets to kick off 30 seconds after conceding. This will stop 2 minute goal celebrations5

Substituted player has 10 seconds to get off the pitch otherwise substitute can’t come on for 2 mins4

What about handball?RC_CAFC said:All penalty kicks must be taken by the person who was fouled.3 -
Then the person who handballed it takes the penalty, can't see too many being scored in that situation.1

Goalkeepers to always wear hats, deliberate removal of hat = penalty (chinstraps advised)1

If a player goes down holding their face trying to get someone sent off and VAR shows that they weren’t hit/caught somewhere else then the player they are trying to get sent off gets to actually hit them in the face20
