Your the F.A. !

[Wizbit]

You can change one rule in football !
No technology allowed !
What would you do ? ???

[Trouserdog]

If a cup-tie ends in a draw then both managers have to get bummed by a gorrilla in the centre circle, and the first one to scream loses.

[chebseystokie99]

Clubs Must get rid of players that get jailed...

[Wizbit]

I take it your the resident comedian Trouserdog ;D

On a serious note how would you decide who gets bummed first ???

[wizard_of_aus]

Introduce Golden goal if a game goes to extra time.

[Trouserdog]

Immediately after the final whistle both managers have to bum the gorrilla, and the one who makes the gorilla scream first gets to choose whether he gets bummed first, or whether he goes second.

Thinking about it, it would be an advantage to go second, as the first manager would get dry-bummed, whereas there would be some natural lubrication on the gorilla's chopper by the time that he got round to the second manager, therefore it would be slightly less painful.

You see, I've thought about this...it's not just some crazy idea...it could actually work.

[Jamo on the wing]

Even though I know it would never happen because it wouldn't stand up in law there should be restrictions on fees and wages and the resulting savings should be passed onto the fans.
Ok so I'm an idealist.

[bayernoatcake]

Anyone who dives gets stamped on by the player they tried to cheat.

[Olgrligm]

Premier League pays 10 people to assess each Premier League match after the match has finished. Divers should be identified, given a three match ban and fined 70% of that month's wages. That money goes to paying the team and grassroots football.

[wizard_of_aus]

At the end of every match Howard Webb referees the captain of each side gets to put his head in the shine-o-ball-o!

sickthats a sick idea which should only be used in manure v arse games ;D.


ref in each half i,d say. and 2 in each half when we play manure then maybe 1 of the 4 mite see shrek and the slimey pork n cheese twat kicking and elbowing our players

[walrus]

The one that really annoys me is that players have to go off even after receiving minor treatment. Fair enough if they're bleeding badly, but a lot of the time a player is penalised for being fouled.

[stevetheboater]

I'd make it three bookings for a sending off instead of two. Sendings off happen far too frequently and generally ruin games. Also refs wouldn't chicken out of seconds bookings like they do at the moment for "certain" players.

[Tubes]

I don't actually think there's anything wrong with the actual rules of the game as such, just the spirit in which they are sometimes applied.

If I could change one thing about football it would be to re-unite the premier and football leagues under one umbrella, renaming the leagues, One, Two, Three and Four and changing the distribution of television rights etc to allow for a more even share of the spoils.

Unfortunately there's no place for such idealism in the money making monster that is the premier league.

[crimesy]

yes but steve, surely they would then just chicken out of 3rd yellows?? ???

[Ddraigcoch]

If booked then 10 mins in the Sin Bin ...bit like rugby.

Or

Make the 18yard box a semi-circle instead like in 5-a-side and only allow a max of 5 or 4 players from either side in the box(semi-circle) plus keeper for corners.
Might make for more Pens aswell.

[march4]

I would award a free kick every time a player is caught diving. By free kick, I mean one member of the opposition would hold him down, while another opponent gives him a good kicking.

In all seriousness, the penalty for diving is the same as for deliberate handball. Every time I see a deliberate handball a foul is given and yellow card produced. Every time I see someone dive.....??? I would just like to see this existing law applied, using video evidence if necessary.

[PenkhullStokie]

if it was a semi circle it wouldnt be called a box

if i was the Fa , id sack all of them , then get all you in , then we'd make english football a better place , apart from trouserdogs , gorilla humping ;D

[march4]

Considering the first headquarters of the FA were in Stoke-on-Trent, perhaps we should take over the rule making again.

The modern game is drifting away from the principles agreed over a century ago and administered from our fair City.

[prem4stoke]

if you have to make subs due to serious injuries made by an opponent then it does not count as a sub.

[PenkhullStokie]

subs can be brought back on the field after bein taken of

example - beatties taken a slight knock in the 15th mnute and hobbles , take him of for camara , then beatties get the all clear then he can be brought on again

[BuzzB]

I've said it before so I'l say it again

fixed admission prices for each division, ie Prem, £30 for example none of this £50 here £25 there, its a footy match ffs, give it back to the working man!!

Especially when you take into account the view from the back seats at Anfield compared to the view from the South Stand for away fans.

[stokie19881863]

if player A suffers an injury from a tackle from player B, player B cannot play again until player A is fit to do so

I.e Martin Taylor would only be allowed play when Eduardo was passed fit for first team football

Or golden shower if it's a women's match.

[bogus]

I'd pass a Law to stop people from changing the Forking Laws all the time.

[stokietillidied]

Not a rule change as such. But i would make refs where microphones like in rygby league so that you can hear what he says to the players etc. Now that would be interesting!

That is a superb idea!

It might put a stop to some of this Christian name nonsense with some of the big name players.

Stoketillidied, they did that in the 1990's and David Ellery and Tony Adams had an argument about cheating, well good cannot remember who but one accused the other of cheating.

even so they should bring it back, then if there was an swearing/abuse then the players would be caught and punished, i personally think that that is the only way to give referees respect.
