I've been thinking.......steady on, lol, there is great nostalgia for some of the old rules in football to be brought back ( we know they probably never will though) but what about the rules you'd like to see back, or even new ones.......
My choice would be.........
the original off side rules
2 subs maximum ( stolen from 2T2B (sorry mate))
No substitutions, no matter what, if there are only 20 minutes or less to play in normal time.
What's yours?
Cheers

Something really simple, that would pretty much end the majority of timewasting: when a player appears to be injured, the clock stops and restarts when play does. |  | | |

Going back to two subs is seriously retrogressive, not least to the long term health of players.
I'd like to see no offside rule for dead ball deliveries.
Dorse, may I recommend christmas panto for the fulfillment of most of your stated desires? |

Because the £10,000 PW pansies will put in a 6 month sick note if they have to run around a bit for more than 67 minutes.
"why you no sub me??"
"Thank you boss!"

Get rid of penalty kicks (and the area.)
A sport where goals are relatively infrequent should not have an infraction that virtually gifts one team a goal. These days too many players play for penalties, and all too frequently get awarded them. TV likes pens as they provide endless "talking points," but a single bad refereeing decision can distort a match's outcome which is fundamentally unfair. Penalty offences are essentially direct free kicks and should be treated the same way as they are elsewhere on the pitch (except the "wall" can remain in place on the goal-line if the foul is within ten yards of it.) The advantage would still be against the offending team, but not to the extent it is now. |  | | |

An interesting idea but of course the area will need to stay | | | |

Let them handle it anywhere in their own half.
Would be funny to see Green drop kick it into the stands from the centre circle. |  | | |

Two points for a draw to the team scoring first.
Would encourage teams to attack from the outset, rather than rewarding the team which throws the kitchen sink into getting an equalizer in the last ten minutes. | | | |

Again I would argue the points system is simple, no bonus points, so you always know where you are and what is necessary without too many if this and if that as long as etc etc [Post edited 8 Dec 2016 22:31]

Paper kit. No more shirt pulling at corners if the evidence is in your hand.
Restarts within 20 seconds of a goal being scored. Celebrate however you like, but keep an eye on the game. |  | | |

1. Any backchat to the ref after any decision is a booking. Do it again and you're off.
People will say "oh but you can't do that, you'd have loads of red cards in every match."
Only for the first couple of weeks and then the players would realise that they're going to get sent off in every match unless they modify their actions. So they'd soon learn to stop behaving like petulant toddlers and actually act like adults.
2. Get rid of loan system altogether and every club only allowed to have a maximum of 25 players on their books.
This would stop Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham etc hoarding all the players.
Chelsea currently have 38 players out on loan!!!
Every club should have to name your 25 players at the start of the season.
Any player not named in that squad is automatically released and is available for any club to buy on a free transfer. Players would then have the option of signing for a lower league club on a more realistic wage or sitting around at home doing nothing.
Some would probably choose the latter and that's fine, the sport can do without those kind of characters.
3. Get rid of transfer window and the farcical hype of transfer deadline day.
4. Compulsory maximum price for match tickets, Premier League £30, Championship £25, League one & 2 £20. (excluding the silly seats in boxes with meals n stuff obviously)
5. Ban all chairmen from using social media  |  | | |

Bring back goal keepers handling the back pass.
Goal Keepers are goal keepers for a reason. THEY CANT USE THERE FEET BUT ARE QUITE HANDY AT USING THEIR HANDS TO STOP FOOTBALLS BEING KICKED AT THEM.
This would also help Onouha WHO CANT PASS THE BALL BACK TO THE KEEPER PROPERLY.
I should use capital letters more, i think it really drives home the point i'm trying to make.
Seriously though, half the keepers cant kick the ball and ends up in row Z.

Perhaps this could be linked to the suggestion of having three challenges to a decision per game...the only player on the field who is allowed to speak to the ref/linesman is the Captain.
That might stop the constant intimidating, bullying, surrounding of the officials even when the offence by your own player is blatant. The Norwich handball a few weeks back saw this happen, and the ref had to fight his way through the crowd to send the bloke off...drives me mad...
Any blatant repeat offenders could be taken to the sideline and the opposition manager is allowed to kick them in the nuts three times....I might pay to see just that part of the game... | | | |

First point is absolutely spot on. Bit of respect never hurt anyone.
Also agree with retrospective bans for diving.
I'd also classify feigning injury as a bookable offence. Most embarrassing thing in football! |  | | |

If there was no offside, each team would simply place 3 big lumps in the opposition penalty area and hoof it forward to them at every opportunity. The defending team would counter the same with 4/5 defenders turning the game into an elongated tennis match from one end to the other. |  |

cheating to win a penalty - simulation, conning the ref whatever name you want to put on it is my bug bear. Introduce a quick video ref like they have in rugby-tennis etc. If the player has clearly and deliberately dived to win a penalty then the punishment is a straight red card plus a penalty to the opposition. Managers might just insist their players stay on their feet.
Players wearing gloves - that's the keepers job.
Finally any London club that has a lion on its badge to receive an automatic 50 point deduction on day one of the season. |  |

Extra point for scoring 3 or more goals in a win.
Match day revenues spilt between both clubs for all games.
Two yellows equals a 10 minute sin bin- not a red card. |  | | |

Treating injured players whilst play is going on like they do in rugby would cut out any time wasting 'injuries'. None of this kicking the ball out, just get on with it and let someone else cover the position. Goalkeepers are an obvious exception and the ref has the right to stop the game if he thinks the injury is serious enough. |  | | |

"As you say, its not the law that is the problem, but people not being bothered to know what it is. "
I take your point but I do think it is the law that is the problem it is a bad law it is confusing. Football is a simple game based on simple rules, the joke about the old (interpretation of the) offside law was that it was difficult to explain, compared with the current (interpretation of the) law is was simplicity itself
The way I see it the law gives the referees assistant a get out if he raises his flag or not [Post edited 8 Dec 2016 19:32]

You have a point, its certainly not been made simpler each time its been revised. | | | |

The Circle Of Shame: whenever someone plays, for example, a Hollywood pass that ends up in orbit, the offender has to stand in the circle of shame whilst receiving a horrifying Chinese burn.
Diving Penalty: anyone caught diving should play the rest of the match in Speedos.
Can-Can Wall: for no reason, all defensive walls should perform a can-can.
Bonus Points: teams whose fans create witty songs about the opposition get a bonus point. Extra bonuses can be won by using difficult time signatures, unusual lyrics and three part harmonies.
Time-wasting: players who waste time are not allowed to leave the ground until they have been strapped into a chair and forced to listen to 8 hours of 'comedian' Jethro telling the same joke on a loop. |

Unfortunately, it would be illegal. So no chance of that one happening.
I already think that abuse to refs is far less than it used to be and people get too worked up about it now. |  |
