reddogkev Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Combine sports - football and boxing. If you tackle someone hard, a boxing ref runs on the pitch with a couple of gloves and you get to have a round of boxing with the opponent there and then on the pitch. The winner of the bout gets to take a penalty kick, the loser can be subbed if the manager wishes. Oh, and the football game continues around the boxing match.

Why can't the whole game be played with boxing gloves worn and players are allowed to use boxing to gain advantage at any time? Goalies get to wear massive gloves of course.

Portland Bill Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Using the crossbar as an advertisement board, the same as the advertising boards on the touch lines. When a goal is scored the whole crossbar and posts light up and flash Thinking about it, the way things are going it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the FA’s next stupid idea!

Ah, the "It's a Knockout" option. Make the goalie wear a huge penguin suit as well, for comedic effect and to elicit original chants from fans behind the goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the keeper is sent off he is pulled back by the opposition players to the fullest extent the cord will go and aimed at the keeper's boss, coaches etc in the dugout, then he is released and his attachment to the cord is disconnected a split second later so he is propelled at speed into the dugout. The amount of pegs (boss/subs/ coaching staff) he then knocks down is added up and if ever the club who fired him at the dugout get into administration difficulties then the amount of points reduction they get is reduced by how many points they scored in knocking down their opponents. If, in the event that they knocked down 12 and were only going to get a ten points deduction, they start the following season with a two point bonus.

Thank you so much for finding this @downendcity proper days out back then!

JackofromSanJavier Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Using the modern day CCTV technology that monitors supporters entering a stadium on a match day, have an independent panel of judges review the footage and award 3 'non-munter' points to the successful club at each event. At the end of the season, the club accumulating the least number of gorgeous points is awarded a sum of money to fund the installation of grooming products in the bogs to help me and other ugly gits to up our game a bit. I think this has legs……but the effect on the playing side of the winning team remains to be seen. It's work in progress here on Planet Thatchers.

handsofclay Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 When supporters enter a stadium they are each given a mask of a dead pop/rock/soul star. Then when a scoring team's fans break out into a rendition of 'You're not singing anymore,' they will find they're pointing at the likes of Elvis, John Lennon, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin etc and feel pretty small. The fans of each team will only be allowed to use this ploy once. Then the masks are confiscated, but it would mean that each time a goal is scored there would need to be a delay, like with VAR, to make sure there are no dead singers present before breaking out in chorus. Plus, it would enable fans of a team who are on the wrong end of a spanking to obtain a little respite from ridicule with one of the goals condeded.

The Coach Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Removal of draws. Just wins/loses. If a game finished at a draw, a penalty shootout would take place. Can't recall who's idea that was, but it got laughed at big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
