Apologies if already posted, but this from BBC website. m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40311889Personally think it's not a bad idea, but there needs to be a direct link to the big screen, and I do accept that it's not really transferable down to grass roots football. Would certainly help with time wasting though.

Another proposal would see players not being allowed to follow up and score if a penalty is saved - if the spot-kick "is not successful", play would stop and a goal-kick awarded.
Some interesting ideas but the above is absolute bollocks.

The rules are fine and have been largely fine for 120 years.
There is no need to change half lengths, penalty rebounds (a penalty is essentially a free kick in the box, so why should a goal kick be given?). I agree the 6 second rule should be more strictly enforced. I'd like a system where the added time is made visible to supporters as it is made, so if there's an injury, a clock starts ticking and re-starts when play does, that way you'd remove any arguments about added time from the game completely.

I genuinely think this "in-play" clock idea that seems to be slightly gathering pace would completely destroy football as we know it. It's an absolutely terrible idea.

The rules are OK. It's enforcement that needs improving, e.g. retrospective action.

Don't know what I think to be honest. m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40311889According to the research in the article we only get 30 minutes of actual football per half at the moment. I do like the idea of a visible clock which stops when there is time wasting or significant breaks in play - it works and works well in top flight rugby and it should remove most of the incentives to time wasting. 30 minutes of play per half does seem awfully low though. I suppose testing it out in actual games is the only way to see how it pans out. I've always thought that a player who is being subbed should go to the nearest point on any touchline. It really pisses me off in the last five minutes of games to see players amble slowly to the halfway line from a far corner when being subbed. The dribbled free kicks and corners could lead to some exciting moments as defences adjust to it!

So, 150 years later they've finally acknowledged that we've been unknowingly shortchanged by half an hour every match, and to make up for this they're going to make the shortchanging official.
Hopefully they'll take the game so far away from its roots that one day someone will be able to reinvent the game we used to call football and it'll be so far away from the current version as to be a completely new sport.
They'll play it on muddy pitches with proper tackling, beer at half time and all sorts of shit. The games could kick off at 3pm on Saturdays.

An end to goal line handballs? John Dreyer didn't die for this... That's a rule change I would welcome. When a player deliberately stops a certain goal the award of a penalty (which is far from certain to be scored) plus a red card isn't sufficient punishment especially if it comes late in the game when the red card doesn't really give much benefit to the team who were denied the goal. Plenty of big games would have had a different result if that rule had applied - including World Cup games.

The rule that always pisses me off thought is you do a foul throw and the ball goes to the opposition yes, a goal keeper takes a goal kick and passes it out to his own player who takes it still in the penalty area which is not allowed but the ball goes back to a goal kick why? It should be the same as a back pass and a free kick awarded to the opposition at the spot where the out field player received the ball!

Sounds a bit too American for my liking!
Here are some other really bad ideas we already have "over here":
Unlimited substitutions? Two referees: one for each side of the pitch? No heading under 12 years old? This may actually be a good idea. Mixed teams ("co-ed")? No slide-tackling under 12 years old? Four quarters (for very young kids)?

If they're going to go down the controlled clock way, then why not give us a bit more football and make it 35 minutes each way? I imagine games would last a bit longer than they do now as players would probably stop for longer to rest as they wouldn't be officially wasting game time any more. Also, why tie in the big clock to the referee's watch? Just have an official time keeper and be done with it and let the ref focus on refereeing.
You should be able to score off penalty rebounds. Stopping that is a stupid suggestion.
Not sure what I think about allowing dribbling straight from a free kick. It would be chaotic at first. Would you have to wait for the whistle or could you take the free kick quickly and essentially run in and carry on?

Why don't they scrap football altogether and with all this technology where no-one is allowed to make a mistake and just have Cyber football.

If they can stop the clock when playing 60 mins. Why not just stop the clock when playing the 90 mins?

To be honest players would just find ways of "in play" time wasting such as passing back to the keeper or holding the ball by the corner flag. I'm sure there are more subtle ways.

sounds like a appeal to the us audience to me. no attention span, a chance to put adverts in like in nba and nfl games with a in play running clock. its periods not first and second half. do we want a game purely stage managed as these proposals want. do we pay less for an hours game?? why do we keep playing around with things surpose it gives the powers that be something to do, perhaps we should have a wage cap and draft system as in the nfl cant think the shit and chelsea would be too happy with that

Where the fuck do these people dream up shit like this?
Fuck sake! How bastard difficult is it to just put technology into football? Video ref and clock stoppage is all that's needed to eradicate dick Brain cheating bastards.
What the fuck they're on about having 30 minute halfs for I don't know.
The actual game isn't the problem. It's some of the fuck wits that play it !!!
