1. Get rid of the continuous clock. Use the same type of time keeping like hockey, basketball etc.
That is, the clock running only when the ball is in play
*Pro's
- No more time wasting
- No more discussion about how many minutes added time there should be

*Con's
(there aren't any IMO)

2. In relation to point 1, introduce goal line cameras

*Pros's
- No more wrongfully disallowed goals

*Con's
- Might disrupt the game, however if it's introduced together with point 1 it won't really have too much effect on the time played.

3. Get rid off FIFA
Basically because FIFA will never allow the game to change for the better as long as they've got a monopoly in football.
Other changes:
Rotating the location of the world cup tournament so that it already is pre-determined where it will take place.
If a country for some reason can't stage the event they'll have to pass.

Any opinions?

Bomb Old Trafford.

Too much ?

Too far ?

Not far enough Themn, not far enough.
Should bomb Slur Alex's wine collection while we're at it.
 
If we had number 1 then games could last a hell of a long time. I don't think injury time really covers all the breaks in play.

2 is certainly a good idea though, but at what level would you extend it to?

The idea of FIFA is fine. The current FIFA is a disgrace though.
 
Performance based salary. Everyone in the stadium and at home watching it presses a button on which player deserves to get paid. The technology is already there with interactive tv, it should be easy enough to implement.

Regarding 1, I forgot to mention that one half would be 30 or 35 minutes instead of 45 minutes continuously.
Of course the ref could penalise a player if he takes too long to take a free-kick, throw-in etc.
I'm just fed up with players feigning/exaggerating injuries.

Well number 2 could be extended to be used as a penalty area camera, to help the referee determine penalties and offsides as well but I think that's over-doing it.
I still want the ref to be the one determining fouls etc.

Finally, I agree the "idea" of a governing body in football is of course good, but FIFA is flawed and those old buggers are looking out for themselves not the good of the sport. Basically FIFA lives off advertisement like VISA, Adidas and Nike.
I do wonder if it was a majority decision to not implement goal line technology...

Oh yeah, salary cap, was gonna mention that. Good one Sunny.

Fair enough on 1 and 3

On 2 I meant would it just be the Premiership? Would lower division clubs be required to have technology installed?

Doesn't matter really, I was only asking

Don't agree with a salary cap

Good question regarding 2. I think it would be too costly to have it in the lower leagues. Certainly teams in the football league (Premier, championship, league one and two) should/could afford it.
 
Making a win worth 4 points would be interesting, it would stop park the bus/grindfest teams.

how?
 
Point 1 has worked brilliantly in Rugby for years now, anybody watching knows how long to go, no more bullshit of how much injury time is still to be played. Which in Rugby is always extensive!

At least they now tell you how much extra time will be played, but that never reflects the truth does it and players are going down so often, best part of 10 minutes a game can be lost without too much trouble.

Salary cap will never work unless instigated Europe / World wide, all the best players just fuck off for better money in Spain or Italy. Again Rugby is seeing that now with the best players going to France.
 
If a player is injured from a foul by the opposing team, the resulting sub should be "free".

Interesting, I'd also like to add an additional substitution if the game goes to extra time.
Also, aggregate rules shouldn't apply in extra time.
 
On the issue of subs I guess they could allow an extra sub for the reserve goalkeeper to always be available if the first choice keeper gets injured, no matter how many subs have been used.

Although its amusing if it happens to another team its actually a bit rubbish if an outfield player has to go in goal.

Its hardly a deal breaker as keepers rarely seem to get injured anyway but its something I guess
 
90 periods of play each lasting 1 minute, swap ends after each period.

All players have to wear those Bernie Clifton chicken outfits.

47 a side.

Goalies can cattle prod goal hangers in the neck.




This season is the most boring I can remember. But I said that last season as well. I think its me.
 
Was it in Argentina where they were using a special foam spray to mark the 10 yards out for the wall ? I believe it faded after a minute or so . I like that idea , simple and easy . Does anyone know ff they still do it ?

A video of Daniel Agger and KHL having intense homosexual intercourse with a brief Nicklas Bendtner cameo would be more productive than this thread. It is also very likely that the mentioned video would be more enjoyable to watch than football with your "point 1" applied.

That's a good point about the aggregate rules in extra time. It does give an extra half hour for the away team to score; although that's part of the game isn't it?

Imagine playing Stoke midweek with these rules. You wouldn't get away from the ground until gone midnight.
 
Off the pitch: (all stolen from baseball)

Get rid of transfer fees, instead teams need to trade for players.

When a player does move he doesn't get to automatically negotiate a new contract, the team that trades for him takes him on the deal he's currently on. It's up to them to offer a new deal if they wish.

Put a system in place that allows clubs to control a youth player for the first four years from the time he makes his debut. Giving them some benefit for producing players.


On the pitch:

Get rid of offside.

TV replay available to Ref's. It's stupid to allow human error to decide a game.

Sin bin.
 
Offside is a pain sometimes but if you got rid of the rule then you would just get players hanging around the goal mouth all the time. What about pushing the area you can be offside way up the pitch? make the penalty area the only place you can be offside for example.

The ref should still be able to book a player for time wasting even if the clock isnt continuous.
