Take away any ambiguity about the handball rule. Hits your hand(s) = foul.
I thought about this and players would just be booting it at each others arms hoping for a pen.

The six second rule (keepers holding ball) is rarely implemented and they often just drop the ball at their feet and floof about.
Should be three seconds and has to be played outside the box. :thumbsup:

Also should be a bonus point (per goal) for any team winning by over a 3 goal margin.
Win 5-0, 5 points. Win 7-6, 3 points.

Only for these tournaments, not league games.

Depends how long they take.

I would have booked every one of those Porto bastards, twice, in Seville

I'd like to see an automatic red card for diving to win a penalty. Now that we have turned real football into a computer game with VAR, there is no reason not to imo.

Also agree with the shielding the ball out nonsense and I'd also like it if we could find a way to stop teams taking the ball into the corner to waste time.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Ok.

Let's say we get Rosenborg in the next round. We pummel them with, I don't know, 40 shots, 20 on target over the two legs. They manage a few shots over the course of the tie. We have 70/30% possession.

They get a corner, Boyata accidentally clips someone's foot at the very edge of the box, right at the by-line when there's absolutely no danger at all.

They get a penalty - a free shot on goal for absolutely nothing that they have created - score and go through. Is that a fair reflection of who the better team was and who deserved to go through?




Yes. Read the rules.
Ehmm......the discussion is about changing rules :naught:

Not so much rules, but I think my biggest bugbear with football is the amount of time wasted and the amount of time actually spent "playing". There have been small "samples" done on this by someone on Twitter, I can't remember who by, basically suggesting we're missing out on up to 30 minutes in a 90-minute game, and "time added" at the end is a joke.

Small example being five minutes added on in the England game tonight, which to most fans would appear reasonable. Three subs, the 3+minute penalty fiasco, two goals, the number of fouls, free-kicks, injuries, yellows, time-wasting and breaks in play equates to more than 10 minutes, IMO.
Agree. They could start by stipulating that the clock must be stopped during "time added" every time the ball is .out of play, or play is interruptrd for any reason. In other words if the ref says there will be 5 minutes of added time, then we should get 5 minutes of actual playing time, not 5 minutes plus whatever the ref estimates should be added to the already added time. There is a lot of time wasting during added time by the team in the lead. Some refs add it on, some don't, and the fans are left in the dark not knowing what the ref is adding, if anything.

VAR it’s a bit of a farce, yes it’s new and will take time I guess, but I really don’t like it, instead of players waving imaginary cards we now have them making tv gestures :nono:

Quite happy with the crackdown on wrestling at corners (our last 16 tie against Juve would have been very different if it had been in place then). Also think VAR has broadly done more good than wrong, given refs another opportunity to get things right, it’s not meant to make them infallible.

I’d like to see offside go back to the interpretation of “clear daylight” between last man and attacker - ie really blatantly offside, not his knee was offside and all that shengus

I've never seen any good reason for restarting the game after a goal with a kick-off from the centre spot. Why? We never grew up doing that when we played games in the street. The goalie just threw the ball back into play.
They should do that in organised football too. If nothing else, it would stop all the floofing about with players running off the park, taking selfies and doing moronic dance routines in celebration. It would also save a lot of time.

Meant to add, I'm not anti-penalty, just think they should only be given for the obstruction of clear goalscoring opportunities.
I think that makes it too vague, imo.

I would do away with shoot outs to end matches/ties. Make teams win trying to win, not trying to draw a match and win a shoot out. Play the first 30 minutes of extra time as now, then after wards make it golden goal and let teams use all unused subs. Would be so much better than seeing teams just hold out and hope they can win something unrelated to the actual match.

Other than that I don't have too much beef about football's rules.
Ok.

Let's say we get Rosenborg in the next round. We pummel them with, I don't know, 40 shots, 20 on target over the two legs. They manage a few shots over the course of the tie. We have 70/30% possession.

If Boyata or anyone else is daft enough to take that risk and gets penalised for it, then fair enough.

Defenders already get away with far too much skulduggery in their efforts to prevent more skilful players from getting the benefit of their superior skills. For example, defenders routinely get away with jumping into an attacker who's the clear favourite to win an aerial cross. Despite having no chance of winning the ball himself or even contesting it, defenders can deliberately barge into a forward who is in the act of shooting, spoil his timing and make him mis-hit the goal attempt and it's praised as "good defending". As for goalkeepers, attackers can't even look at them with conceding a foul.

I'd happily revolutionise the game with the radical notion that referees should actually apply the rules and award a penalty every time the defending team commits an offence in the penalty area. Eventually, defenders might learn not to commit so many fouls and we'd see far more goals from skilful, open play.

I agree with the OP that a penalty is sometimes too severe a punishment for a foul on the corner of 18 yard or on byline etc. Maybe a smaller inner box for penalties. Leave the outside box for goalie or just reduce it for both. The original idea behind penalties for hand ball was to stop defenders acting goalie . I.e. Picking up ball or blatently using hands to stop a goal. This has been forgotten and now any touch of the arm is a possible offence .

In the same black and white context, get the offside rule changed to eff. Standing in an offside position? Yer offside and it's a free kick.

Shielding the ball out. Should be obstruction.
If the ball is within playing distance why would it be obstruction?

allowing referees to determine added time. Have a clock pitchside that stops when any injury/stoppage occurs. Did you see how long Colombia took celebrating their goal last night. Made Porto look like sprinters.

Instant bookings for players picking up or even touching the ball following a foul being awarded against their team.
