Davefevs Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 2 hours ago, 22A said: I saw on SSN Marco v Basten was invited by FIFA to improve the game. He recommends amongst other things; 1; No offside and 2; Replace penalty shoot outs with the format used in ice hockey. The forward starts further back and has to dribble the ball round the keeper. In the 1970 Anglo Italian Cup they experimented with offside only in the penalty area. The Conference trialled no offsides from free-kicks in the late 80s. I may be wrong, but Lincoln got relegated to the conference and had a bean-pole striker called Mick Waitt, who they just used to stand in front of the keeper on free-kicks from anywhere, causing mayhem. It got scrapped. 2 hours ago, spudski said: The offside rule and penalty rules should be changed imo. No way should a penalty be given, unless it stopped a clear chance on goal. A tap on the ankles, with an opponent on the edge of the 18 yard box, facing the corner flag, never deserves the reward of a free shot on goal. Penalties in a season, really don't give a true reflection on how good or bad a team are, and often gives a result that doesn't show how a team really played. Never thought about pens in that way, but my argument against it is, you'really a defender, you're in the penalty area, you know the rules, go bleeding careful! Cue Mark Little v Cardiff....I could see he was gonna lunge in....perfect for the striker to make up his mind. 2 hours ago, hertsexile said: I say introduce a 22/25 yard line, and you could only be off side in side that area between the line and goalmouth. But still think linesman would manage not to understand.Do away with going inside from off side position this rule only confuses linesman. As they interpret the rule inconsistently Bit like the Subbuteo pitch....and would mean one less green rugby line on our pitch, we could re-use it! 1 hour ago, handsofclay said: In cricket it seems to be the done thing now for the umpire not to bother if the bowler oversteps the bowling crease. This only comes into play if a wicket is taken. Then the TV umpire checks if the bowler overstepped the crease on the wicket taking delivery. If he did then the wicket is restored. Perhaps this can be applied to football. Don't call offsides, only bring them into play if a goal is scored. Then the TV ref can check that nobody was in an offside position and interfering with play. If there was a transgressor then the goal can be ruled out. This will actually speed up play by the use of TV playbacks rather than hold it up as is often cited as a drawback of TV technology. Umpires still do check, because even for a non-wicket ball, a no ball is a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'd change the points system to reward attacking play. Maybe start with a bonus point for score draws and consideration to another bonus point if you score over 3 goals maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 If they did away with the offside rule, we could have got £25m for Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give bonus points for teams who go behind in the first half and recover in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalties, as @spudski said, only for clear goal scoring op's. Subs, the game does not have to stop for subs, player comes of on the half way line, another player can come on - there is a fourth official there, surely he can ensure 1 off / 1 on - would stop time wasting, easier for players suffering a knock to limp off Free kicks can be taken as fast as team wants, if a opposition player gets in the way of it being taken on purpose move the ball forwards 10 yards. Stop kicking the ball out of play, play to the ref's whistle - again 4 officials, and soon maybe a TV official in the box... let them decide. Sometimes things are missed during the game, incidents can reviewed after the game, play acting, fouls then can be sorted and players retrospectivley booked.. no more getting away with it because the ref did not see... Just want things that keep the game flowing more. Love this post as it covers many thoughts that I would change about the game. One point about the throw in - I would like to see one arm throw in allowed, so you can immediately throw long into the penalty box or under arm throw along the ground.

Manon Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 The hockey pens are exciting (think women's team gb gold 2016) but only with small goals. Would not work in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Honestly, I've alway thought the shootout idea is better. What's not to like? You replace penalty shoots outs with this and they keep the tension and excitement and become more reliant on the actual ability of the players and GKs rather than being about luck - they become less of a lottery.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Seems to be all the rage now to look at changing everything that isn't broken and ignore what is. No one seems to care that football has basically descended into a game of who can cheat the best, but then we get this kind of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thankfully any changes to the game worldwide need a joint approval of FIFA and the Home FA's, Scotland, England etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
