FraserSorensen Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 I've had a quick search to find a similar topic, but here goes - if you could change a rule in football, or amend any existing rules, what would it be and why? Both the sensible and the ridiculous welcome! I personally like the idea of only giving out a point to both teams in the event of a score draw - a nil-nil would earn you the same as a loss. This would be to encourage teams to not defend a nil-nil for 90 minutes and encourage attacking and entertaining football.

That would also punish people who attacked all game long but couldn't find a breakthrough ( or even an incorrect offside decision for a disallowed goal, penalty that should of been, ect) Personally i think a strong defensive display, last ditch tackles, great clerances and fantastic saves from the GK is also worthy of recognition...
DB11 Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 The ball having to leave the penalty area from defensive free kicks and goal kicks. What's the point?

True - hard to separate on paper the difference between a team who set up to take the point and the one in your example above. Would you add a bonus point for winning by a margin of +3 to encourage teams to put the game to bed? Or would this only suit teams like Man City?
DB11 Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Other than mine none of these suggestions are football rules They could quite easily be implemented by the Premier League as a competition rule....
ousefox Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 The ability to appeal a yellow card. I would also like to see referees being made more accountable for terrible performances but I guess this is difficult if so few people want to do the job.a
iamafox Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 If a team pulls a goal back and the opposing goalkeeper picks up the ball and doesn't give it back to the scoring team, the goalkeeper must automatically be booked for time wasting.
yorkie1999 Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 That a player standing in an offside position is always deemed to be interfering with play. For an additional implementation, i would like to see each manager given 3 appeals per game to be made at any time. This would stop managers moaning at referees decisions after the game because they've been given the opportunity to appeal during it and also help stop the amount of flak that officials get because they may have missed a split second decision.
davieG Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 The 4th official to provide a visible timing of the game as per rugby. Any time wasting should not result in a booking but an automatic adding on of 30secs to the playing time. I would also like to see a change of approach to free kicks to enable quick ones to be taken without having to wait for the ref to blow, this would encourage quicker free kick taking which at the moment wastes so much time it may also encourage some skillful innovative play rather than the obvious lob into the box aimed at a load of marauding players intent on getting their head to it first or the attempt at goal which a high % sail over the crossbar

In Futsal if the ball is out of play the timer stops. A 20 minute half would last about 50 minutes!!

Surely as the team who has won the free kick you can take it at your own discretion - it's your advantage after all? Why wait for the other team to be ready, or the referee - i'm sure between the team they can determine that it was taken correctly even if the ref wasn't looking at the ball! I remember United taking a creative corner a few years back which was too clever for the referee - ordered it to be retaken and luckily they scored from the second attempt!

Bringing in any performance based points system would most definitely suit the bigger teams and that's why I'd be dead against it.

It would certainly give people a desire to keep attacking and not defend a lead! Hopefully it would not of stopped us winning the last year because we won a lot of games by 1-0!

I don't think a penalty (and a yellow card?) is sufficient punishment for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity even if it's the result of a genuine failed attempt to win the ball.
Matt Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Not a rule as such but something i'd change is bring video replays in, refereeing mistakes are going too far, as for the 'it'll take too long' arguement, implement a rule of 3 appeals, it's limits the amount of stoppages and makes teams/captains think about how they use them, if an appeal turns out to be a successful you keep that appeal, if it turns out unsuccessful you lose the appeal. I think it'd also stamp out cynical fouls/dives abit aswell.
Leicesterpool Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Offside rule, another one is like in rugby league have sin bin. When given a yellow card you must remain off the pitch for 3 minutes.
49er Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Go back to only having one substitute. This would make it more of a level playing field, and really exciting if, for example, the goalkeeper is injured and an outfield player has to go in goal. Imagine, say, Burnley playing Man Utd, and de Gea is injured and is replaced by Rooney in goal! Adds that degree of unpredictabilty that we now miss. Also, if there was only one substitute, 'squad' players would not be happy playing for the reserves/under 20s etc and may prefer to play for one of the 'lesser' teams, hence increasing the competitiveness of the league. Allow each manager to make one substitution for the rival team after seven minutes of each game. For example, if we were playing Arsenal and Ozil was having a fabulous game, Ranieri could substitute him after seventy minutes.
49er Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Get rid of the so-called pundits. Let's just watch the highlights, a few words from the presenter and we move on. The microscopic examination of every little thing in a game by messrs Shearer, Neville et al is boring.
leicsmac Posted 5 October 2016 Posted 5 October 2016 Either rugby style sin-bin, or changing the rule regarding deliberate handball on the line. If it's at least reasonably obvious the ball is going in without the intervention of the outfield player, instead of sending off the player and giving a penalty give the player a yellow card and simply award the goal. Would eliminate the need for utterly egregious cheating ala Suarez in the 2010 World Cup.
