While we are in the midst of the big freeze and have a bit of time on our hands , i thought of a few 'ideas' of how to change and speed up the game. Obviously you will have your own thoughts on these and maybe some ideas of your own, but here goes. 1) A substitute goalkeeper may be allowed to replace an injured goalkeeper even tho the permitted 3 substitutions have been made. 2) A 'replacement' goalkeeper maybe used to stand in for an injured goalkeeper if he his receiving lengthy treatment. If the original goalkeeper is unable to resume the 'replacement' is classed as being a substitute. 3) Goal kicks to be taken from the side the ball left play to speed up play. ( Back to the future ;D) 4) The goalkeeper must return the ball into play within the 6 second rule (  ) ie : not wait for an opponent to come to him to make him pick up the ball and play it or constantly dribble the ball across the penalty area. ( This is an uptake on the non existent current 6 second rule  ) 5) The first player to pick the ball up at throw in must take the throw and not wait to pass it on to another player. 6) A player to be cautioned if he waves the 'imanginary card' to the referee. 7) A team to be penalised with an indirect free kick if they take the ball into the corner to time waste. Obviously FIFA with have to ratify these and the wordings to their satisfaction. Whats the opinions of the forum? No doubt there will good and bad but all in all its just a bit a fun on a cold winters day to pass the time. |

some good ones there linoh 3 5 and 7
6 is already a rule
1 2 and 4 total disagree with.
what if a keeper is having a mare? fake an injury to get a replacement on. or if its going to penalty shoot out and sub keeper is the bast at stopping penalties? fake an injury and get replaced.
ball in play its up to the forwards to make keeper play the ball.

Hands down in the box for set pieces , unless you going up for a header ...
All this wrestling and grappling has got to stop ...
The hardest part is working out who is fouling who ( 6 of 1 etc )
In my opinion you have nothing to gain as an attacker from grappling , so the defenders are instigating it resulting in both wrestling ...
This issue without a shadow of a doubt needs reviewed

I did say it was open to interpretation. Yes they could fake injury but what manager would want his first choice 'keeper off the pitch even if he is having a mare? Im sure the officials could decide if he is injured or not. ( Another job for the 4th official maybe? )
How many players do you see run 20/30 yards to make the keeper pick up the ball? Its a waste of energy.
But nice to see some consrtuctive comments Mishmash.

Lineoh, Just a point to note. FIFA wont be changing any Rules as they are Laws.
Good topic though and some suggestions that might be useful.
Wrestling in the area- this will only stop when refs award more penalties. The fouls only seem to be awarded to the defending team which is fine if the offence is such, but more often than not its the attacking team who are fouled.

I agree , more often than not its defenders that start the wrestling ... Attackers try to foul more cleverly , where are a teammate blocks the defender and allows the attacker free space .. Theres been a couple of them recently and you could argue that it is a clever enough move not to be deemed a foul  The out and out wrestling has got to go though  |

I think that some of the rule changes you suggest would just suit the better sides and that would take some of the magic out of it for me.
Take the imaginary scenario of West Brom at Old Trafford, 88 mins gone and its 0-0. Why should they have to hurry the ball back into play and not be able to run it into the corner?

Apolman
Take the imaginary scene at Anfield, Liverpool v Chelsea.
Liverpool take the corner short and keep the ball in the corner. Players mill round each other hacking and kicking at the player/ball....one dissgruntled Chelsea player charges in and rakes his studs blatantly down the back of a Liverpool player in front of the assistant referee......
You get my point?

I do see where you're coming from Lineoh but in that scenario there should be laws that already cover the situation. A free kick, yellow/red cards as necessary.
I just don't think the answer is that teams can't have the ball in the corner.

I think (which is quite dangerous on here) that the silly laws added in the past 20 years have dogged the game ever since. No more changes please, lets get rid of some of them. |

No pass back to the keeper is a good un ... Id like to see the wall moved further back as it always ends up as 8 yards 12 yards to start with would see it about right i think |

......Id like to see the wall moved further back as it always ends up as 8 yards 12 yards to start with would see it about right i think Whats that in new money? (metres) And how many steps would the ref have to take to measure it out? Maybe he should have a piece of string in his pocket the right length. Then he could take it out, ask the defending wall to hold onto it and walk back until it was tight... some silly suggestions somtimes work. |
