New Rules for Football.

scrap points, goal difference, goals scored, whoever has the most time in possession wins the league.

How about the game starts with a huge ball the size of a beach ball and it gets gradually smaller every ten minutes ending with a ball the size of a tennis ball?

[Kenneth]

Ok, if you don't like the decreasing ball size idea, how about shrinking teams. Each team starts with 13 players but each team has to remove a player every ten minutes with the game ending as a five a side?

Monkey tennis?

I thought you meant you start with a team of Peter Crouch's and end up with this.........

[Kenneth]

That would just be impractical.

defo like the sin bin option.
a yellow card will equal getting sin binned for 5 mins. if teams continue to foul then they could be down to 8 or 9 men at a time, but it works the same for both teams. it would be like power plays in ice hockey. while you have the numerical advantage then you would really press the other team, as they drop back and try to park the bus. a second yellow would just mean another sit in the bin for another 5 mins. straight reds could still come into play for blatant violent play.
it would be very exciting.

video re-assessments for any major incidents, whether the ref saw it or not. its a cop out to say the ref saw it if he hasnt dealt out a suitable punishment. some refs actually bottle it and avoid the controversy.

More cats?

Kidney punches are allowed.
Jump for that now you ****er.

I'd like to see more penalties given for the GBH that is dished out at corners by defenders (particularly Stoke!).

As an incentive to the officials, if they are found to have missed more than one of the assaults in a match then they should be dropped/suspended for a month.

Only problem is that Skittles would have to change too

The bull**** idea you are sheilding the ball out of play and can just stand moving around blocking the ball making no effort to take possesion of it. No skill involved, despite what commentators will tell you its not fantastic defending, its just manhandling a player. Would make games a lot more attacking and would stop teams running the ball into the corner as well.

[ChesterDave]

There should be no active / inactive. If a player is in an offside position, they're offside. Make it easier for linesmen and they'll get more decisions right. Simple.

I may be falsely remembering but was it not a former Liverpool manager that said if he is not interfering with play what is he doing on the pitch?

This is blatant obstruction in my book.

Obstruction is never called now.
