IF you could change one rule/law in football what would it be?

There should be a sensor in each football so that if a player wastes time by taking the ball within a yard of a corner flag, ice cold water is squirted from sprinklers set in the corner flag. Of course, referees would need a remote control to turn off the sensor when a corner is being taken. All fairly inexpensive technology.7

The game against Leyton was considerably "shorter" than most matches by at least 10 - 15 minutes. I'm surprised the tactical significance of this is rarely mentioned.Rudders22 said:A clock so that when the game is stopped for feigning injuries, timewasting etc (aka Orient) and us at times that everyone can see. Last week against Orient, they time wasted for 25 minutes in second half and only 8 minutes were added on (including for subs).
Substitutes effectively came on much earlier than usual and players would have less tired than usual in the latter stages of the game etc.1 -
Goalkeeper goes down injured... You leave the pitch like everyone else!!
One outfield player is allowed to act as emergency Goalkeeper whilst he's waiting to come back on though
Lets see Leyton Orient / Bolton etc. time waste so they can have a team talk with that rule.
Either that or team talks during the games should be banned, with drinks breaks happening on the other side of the pitch, with no non-Players allowed around whilst its happening.3 -
Fake injuries and time wasting in general, does my nut, ref should have a new card in the shape of a lightening fork , show the player the card and then tazer them for our enjoyment, opposition players only of course.5

Obstruction laws need to be dramatically revised.
Ricardo Santos and our player are chasing the ball, its going to the Goalkeeper so Santos steps across our players path - I know he can stand where he wants, and our player didnt have the ball.. But cmon, he's clearly doing nothing other than to OBSTRUCT the opponent from trying to get the ball, whilst doing nothing with iit themselves.
Same when a ball goes for a Goal Kick / Corner / Throw, and you see players desperately try to let it go out by basically pushing their opponent away from being able to get it.
Force the defending player to do something with it, that'll make those situations interesting.3 -
Get rid of VAR!4

Get rid of all referees (like that idiot at the weekend) and replace them entirely with VAR, perhaps we could have phone in votes for tricky decisions @£1.00 a call (Chelsea, Millwall and Crystal Palace fans £5.00 a call).Weegie Addick said:Get rid of VAR!1 -
Something that was mentioned after Clare's horrible foul on Josh Edwards: If a player is forced to miss matches because of injuries sustained through foul play, the offending player should be forced to miss the same amount of matches.3

No one would want to tackle Chuks then.15

When cup games go to extra time, throw on a second ball! That would be a great watch!!0

Can't do that, hardly fair if a keeper is genuinely hurt in a collision and his team are punished by him having to go off.ForeverAddickted said:Goalkeeper goes down injured... You leave the pitch like everyone else!!

Bring back elaborate football pitch patterns and two-man kickoffs.0

No birds allowed0

Realistically, for red card offences you could have à list of injuries with a fine system equating to the cost to the NHS donated to medical research, and maybe in addition e.g cruciate ligament damage: one month sin binStig said:Something that was mentioned after Clare's horrible foul on Josh Edwards: If a player is forced to miss matches because of injuries sustained through foul play, the offending player should be forced to miss the same amount of matches.1 -
I would amend this to the player passing the ball. The player receiving can be anywhere after the line including in the penalty box but the player passing has to be in front of this line. Offside only applies if it is played behind the line.CafcWest said:I'd like to see an extra line on the pitch between the centre line and the penalty area. If you're not beyond that line when the ball is kicked forward then you can't be offside - only if you are beyond that line. Should increase the number of goals scored.
Once the ball has been played after the line there is no offside for this team in the phase of play that follows. The phase of play is defined as the ball:
1. going back behind the line from either team
2. going off the pitch but only if the attacking team kick it off.0 -
Harry Wilson should have been sent off for this yesterday. The way he hounded the referee after his dive was disgraceful. Yes, there was contact but the way he flicked himself to trip himself up was embarrassing and desrved a yellow alone. Then he went shouting at the referee.Alwaysneil said:
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:

I would have given him a yellow followed by a straight red.2 -
His own team mates were trying to push him away as well, so they knew what he was talking himself intojimmymelrose said:

Shame the referee didnt pick up on that alone, and just give him a card to prove the point.
Maybe Football should introduce a Stewards room similar to Formula One, players can be summoned to speak with the Officials after the match, if they're not happy with something and are allowed to give the individual a private dressing down - If the player cant explain their actions, then they get a penalty point against their record... Like in F1, you get enough penalty points over a period of time (Transfer Window > Transfer Window), then you earn yourself a match ban.3 -

Goalkeeper gloves to be made electronic: Sensors within the glove time how long the keeper is holding the ball, should this be longer than six seconds an electric-shock is automatically delivered to the keeper's hands. First offence, a jolt sufficient to make them instantly drop the ball. Second offence, a prolonged shock designed to make them jump around the penalty box in a funny manner. Third offence, total incapacitation as if shot in the head by a black-market taser.11

We could also make the touchline electronic. When the ball goes out of play, an LED shows where the throw can be taken from. If the throw is taken from beyond that mark, the referee is electrocuted.Stig said:Goalkeeper gloves to be made electronic: Sensors within the glove time how long the keeper is holding the ball, should this be longer than six seconds an electric-shock is automatically delivered to the keeper's hands.

Offside law. Especially when VAR is involved. Once VAR look at it then its either on or off by the naked eye. When you start having to draw lines then its onside.1

How about the longer that a player strings out taking a throw in or goal kick, the more that the bench and technical area gets electrified, I think that could cut down on time wasting, and it would see which managers are less popular with their players. The downside is that playing a Steve Evans team would leave to an all pervading smell of fried lard.3

I'd scrap the offside rule completely.2

Red and yellow cards handed to players in white envelopes, thereby injecting an air of suspense and jeopardy as the player opens the envelope to discover his fate.13

If a player takes 30 seconds to leave the pitch when substituted, the substitute shouldn’t be allowed on for double that time7

Then use Mo-Sys tracking to follow the defenders and then tie in the LED perimeter boards to show the offside line.Also connect to the floodlights (for clubs that having working ones) and only illuminate the in-game area of the pitch and dynamically control the lights so this follows play, then project gambling ads directly onto the out-game areas of the pitch, blimey I should work for the premier league…2 -

or one with 10% off in the Valley shop or a ticket for a match of your choice, but only should you hit the crossbar in the remainder of the game.Chizz said:Red and yellow cards handed to players in white envelopes, thereby injecting an air of suspense and jeopardy as the player opens the envelope to discover his fate.4 -
The goal frame should count as the defending team. So if the attacking team has a shot and it hits the bar and goes over, it should be a corner!
