Rules you would like to see Added/Removed from Football

[topscorer]

Another possible rule option would be the ability to send off a player but the team can still have 11 players on the field.

That could stop early red cards killing a game and parked bus tactics when down to 10 men.

So for certain offenses a player gets a red card but the team can use a substitute to replace them.

That makes the bench more important too.

A transfer window for managers i.e. May-July perhaps, or maybe two, with an extra one in January?

[Exiled_red]

sin bin for 5 minutes for minor issues, 10 minutes for bad tackles and rough stuff. a straight red if its shockingly bad.
instant video replay so if the ref was wrong or conned the player can return to the pitch.
video panel to review all issues. anything missed can then be dealt with.
go back to the old offside rule.

it boils my piss that some ****er will play against us but maybe get a suspension instead of being able to play against our rivals. its much better to have the extra man advantage in your game and its then up to you to try and make it count. like in ice hockey if a player loses a man or two they change to being defensive and the other team must try and break through the two parked buses.
it will be very interesting seeing the ebb and flow as tactics are changed mid game.

as the players from the sin bin then return to the pitch the advantage might then switch to that team as the rested players rejoin and the team then return to being more attacking.

Not quite the same but on a similar theme, if a player is sent off against you 1 of the matches of their ban should be their next game against your club.

Also on suspensions, cup games should count separately for suspensions, it annoys me when an opposition player gets a 3 match ban and 2 of the games are in the cup and games they were unlikely to play in anyway (because the team puts usually puts out a weakened side anyway). If you get sent off in a league match and get a 3 match ban you miss 3 league matches.

This would help teams like City, Chelsea, Madrid who stockpile players.

There are some really good suggestions in this thread.

Agree with stopping the clock the second ball goes out of play - NFL, NBA, rugby style.

Also agree about the comment on the loan system. I think loaning players to teams in the same division should be banned.

Also retrospective punishment should be handed out irrespective of whether the referee sees the incident or not. If the ref awards a yellow for a red card incident, retrospective video review should increase it to a red irrespective of the ref's actions.

Make fines hurt. Mourinho 10K , Vilareal 12K. For a manager the fine should be 2 weeks to a months wages

Yes, that should be for players too. When the club fines players it 'x weeks wages' and not £x. The FA should do the same and then the punishment will be relative to the profile of the Manager/Player.

After all higher profile Manager and Players damage the image of the FA/EPL more than lower profile ones.

[Boogs]

We're does the money for all the fines go? Rather than into the FA it should go into each clubs local area Sunday league teams or to the kids clubs that are closing because the councils have hiked up the costs to rent the pitches.
Is it also true that the PL players get fined the same amount as Sunday league players for yellow and red cards something like £30 for a yellow? This should also change if this is indeed the case and should reflect what league you play in.

[kev776]

Referees should give post match interviews to explain controversial decisions, he could be helped by the fourth official to give him backup if he is a scaredy cat.

[Resu]

I can't see how that would help the game at all. I think the refs go through the games afterward, having to do it live won't help anything.

Exactly and when a club is fined. It should be based on game receipts. Like Villareal should have been fined a significant percentage of game collection.

[Roboklopp]

Makes sense too.

[Alex]

I dont think Referees are the problem. We have some good ones in this country. Its the respect they are given thats the problem. From all corners too. Players, Coaching staff and fans.

I would like to see anyone, trained or not. To give a flawless performance for 90 minutes at anything. With 50,000 angry people shouting obscenities at you.

[meffin]

I'd be tempted to say get rid of throw ins near your goal. Absolutely no benefit to you and more often than not go straight to the opposition and put you under pressure.

Just have a goal kick

[Resu]

But it gives a more attacking approach. High pressure loses a lot of its point if the defender will just try get a throw that will be turned into a goal kick. As defender knows a throw creates a danger they will try something else, and maybe with more risk.

[Exiled_red]

Not a rule as such, but I would like to see referees allow the taking of quick freekicks. In preventing them (making players wait for the whistle), the attacking team who should have the advantage lose some as the defensive side are able to get organised.
