How do we think the game could be further improved? Some examples...
1. Defenders "shielding" the ball out of play should constitute obstruction, and therefore a free kick to the opposition. It's a foul anywhere else on the pitch!
2. When a goalkeeper passes out from a goal kick, if the opposition sense he's played it short and closes the defender down, then all he has to do is step inside the area and receive the ball, enabling the kick to be retaken as it didn't leave the area. Should be an (indirect?) free kick to the opposition perhaps?
3. Enforcement of a yellow card when the ball is deliberately kicked/thrown away once the whistle has blown. This is inconsistent at the moment and frustrating for the paying punter.
To be honest, there's not a lot wrong with the game imho - maybe a few tweaks here and there?

Hasn’t really been tried yet then in my book .....
Make the ref assessors make it so.
Discipline is important to our game. |
It was tried, it was applied and found to be useless, didn't really change anything. |  | | |

If a player is through on goal but fouled outside the area by the last man, that should be a direct free kick but no wall allowed, all players behind the ball like a penalty. | | | |

I'd just change the penalty rule and give one for denying a goalscoring opportunity, regardless of where the foul takes place. |  | | |

Yellow cards for celebrating absolutely infuriates me. I’ll be happy if only that goes. | |

They're talking at the moment about changing the penalty kick rules to be the same as the "Penalty Shoot Out"
That is ... If the keeper saves the penalty or the ball hits the woodwork ... There are no rebounds, the ball is dead!! |  |

The one thing I would change about the game is penalties.
Penalties should only be awarded for offences currently considered professional fouls - i.e. clear goalscoring opportunities. All other infringements in the box should be free-kicks.
Most penalties are scored (80%+ I would guess) and I always think it's an injustice when a penalty is awarded when there wasn't really any danger of a goal. |  | | |

When a player gets treated on the field, they should then be allowed to stay on the field and resume play, it is a farce now that they have to leave the field of play, that wasn't the Idea of it at all.
The Idea was to take the injured player off the field of play for treatment so the game could carry on and save time that way then let him back on after treatment, not treat him on the pitch then make him go off and restart play. Somewhere along the lines people had forgotten this and become second nature the way they do it now |  |

No substitutions after 90 minutes unless someone is seriously injured. Too much time wasted here | |

1. If a player has to leave the field due to being injured through a foul I feel that the player who committed the foul should also leave the field, maybe they will think twice about committing the foul in the first place.
2. The rule where the goalkeeper can place the ball any side of the 6 yard box from a goal kick needs to revert back the the original rule (ie it should be taken on the side where the ball went out of play), there's far too much time being wasted by goalkeepers. | | | |

Linesmen to be replaced by technology.
They are a waste of space, and in the long run referees. |  | | |

Linesmen do fuk all. The one by the West stand yesterday didn't even put his flag up til the ref had given the throw in.
Ref was just as bad.
Spend the money saved on wages on developing full time video/ai officials. Fuk em! |  |

Goalies should be booked a lot earlier in the game usually a ref will book them in the last min of injury time too late!! |  | | |

Rather than send players off make them play in Wellington Boots. |  |
