Abolish the Offside rule, and the keeper can use a shinty stick inside the six yard box.
I read that as shampooty stick first time :lol:

Would make for some interesting matches for sure

Such a minor thing, but why the ball needs to go out of the box from a GK is beyond me. If the goalie wants to pass it to someone standing beside him, then WTF not? And the result is a retake!

Shielding the ball out. Should be obstruction.
This one has always ripped ma knittin, if in the middle of the park you made no attempt to play the ball and were pushing someone away with your arse for 10mtrs a foul would be given...but it is allowed when "shepherding" the ball out for a bye kick!
This. One of my biggest bug bears. It's obstruction. Nothing else.
If the player can touch the ball with their foot they're deemed in possession, and can arse whoever they like out of the road. It's only obstruction if you didn't have the ball.

Also the same for free kicks taken by a team inside their own penalty area.. ball must leave the area before second touch

Cramp is a fitness issue, not a result of foul play by the opponents. If a player wants treatment, then get it off the pitch.

I presume it goes back to the days when the keeper could pick up a passback from his team mate. The idea behind a goal kick was simply to punt the ball back into play and let the teams battle for possession somewhere in the middle of the park.
If a defender could just tap the ball into the hands of his goalie standing beside him, the keeper could then carry the ball to the edge of the penalty area and punt it from hand much further and more accurately into the other team's territory than he'd be able to if he was striking a dead ball from the goal area. :thumbsup:

Denying an obvious goal should be an automatic goal, not a penalty and a red card, certainly not a penalty and a booking as it is under the newer rule.
I always wondered if you could give the team the choice. 10 men and penalty or automatically lose a goal. always wondered what teams would choose.

Wow. What a thread.

Firstly, it's LAWS not rules..
They're laws, not it's.

If you're going to be a pedant then... ;)
He could be referring to a shortened version of a proper noun i.e. the title "The Laws of the Game" in which case his "it's" works OK.

If you're going to be a pedant etc etc :thumbsup:

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep

Wrong about the touch. (otherwise it would be a corner/throw)

It's about being deemed in control, and using your body as a shield is a skill and part of the game. See Dalglish, K.

Mis-read it, sorry - we're agreed on the sentiment.

No its not. Free kicks inside your own area, the ball also has to leave the area - just the same as a goal kick.

Stop the clock when the ball is dead so we get 90 minutes of the ball in play

Average game, the ball is in play about 55-60 minutes

Would mean about another 45-50 minutes of play
Would it not make sense to stop the clock until the ball's in play for a minimum of 60 minutes? That'd lead to games lasting the same amount of time that they do now. We'd need some size of squad to cope with 60 games per season where the ball is in play for 90 mins, the first team would be knackered after 2 months.
