No this isnt a thread saying how great the beautiful game is.
I was listening to an ESPN blog the other day, they had a bunch of ex-pros an the like discussing what rules of the game they would like to see scrapped, or which they would impliment into the game, and it got me thinking what the actual fans would change.
For me personally it would be the 'interfering with play' crap, regarding the offside rule, for me you're either offside or your not, and if you arent interfering with play, then you should be subbed off.
What do the rest of you lot think. |  | | |  |

I would introduce the Brown Card, to be issued by the ref to players guilty of being shite. |
would make a change from donnelly getting a yellow card every other game |  | | |

I think its a good call for a penalty goal for situations like Suarez against Ghana, but it cant be one rule for one.. |
Precisely! |  |

Regarding Offside:
How come when a player challenges for the ball having moved from an offside position, the free kick is taken from the place where he 'interferes with play' rather from the position where he was in fact offside?

Something needs to be done about players going down when they're team are winning.
The whole 'getting them off the pitch to save time' thing, in theory, works..
Yet 95% of the time they receive the required 'treatment' whilst lay on the pitch, before 'limping' off, only to turn around again when they are off the pitch screaming to be allowed back on. |  |

Regarding offside - how come if a defending player is lay injured near the corner he can play the opposition onside - but if a forward is stood in the corner offside he's deemed to be not interfering with play? Shouldn't the injured defender also be deemed to be not interfering with play? |  |

Enforcement of the 'respect' rule and campaign. Rooney hurled abuse at the ref (caught on the TV camera perfectly) Monday night and didn't get a second yellow. Couldn't help but think that if it wasn't Man U/Rooney or if he hadn't already been booked he would have been given a yellow. |
I hate the crowding of the referee and the bad mouthing. Unfortunately yellow cards are currently seen as too harsh for this unless the player is repeat offending. Why not introduce a sin bin for these types of offences send them off the pitch for 5 mins to cool down. Repeated offences would still see a yellow and finally a red. | |

I think this is a side of the game it is very hard to change, its annoying as hell, but I don't see how you can stop a player feigning an injury, however if they take too long to get off the pitch I would book them, they'd soon stop then. | | | |

It seems TVOS has provided admirable defences for all the rules everybody wants scrapping!
Personally I''d like to see the referee booking more players who take an age and a day to trundle off after being subbed when they're holding on to a lead (especially when they see their number go up and then sprint to the opposite side of the pitch first!). Common sense should be applied to judge whether the player really is time wasting. |  | | |

Aye, before now I've seen a manager tell a right winger to go and play left wing for 30 seconds, as that is the furthest side from the subs bench! | |

According to t'Laws, "the free-kick should be taken from the place where the infringement occurred", which I interpret as being where the 'active' nature kicks in.
It would be a bit harsh to make a defender take the ball back five yards, for example, because a striker who was in an offside position decided to run back and challenge him.
It will be interesting to look out for it next time it happens. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It seems strange to me that a free kick could be awarded in your half should your striker challenge for the ball there having come from an offside position.
Surely they actually become active as soon as they start to move towards the ball. Consequently the infringement should be given from the offside position and not where the challenge takes place. | |

Lee Trundle?
The thing is with laws in any sport, they need to cover every eventuality, however unlikely some of those are.
You should see some of the questions of law in my cricket magazine. Totally implausible scenarios, but they have to be sorted out in a fair way. | |

Aye. That rule about changing the ball if it bursts, even if it is on it's way over the goal line. Get's my goat every match, that one. |  | | |

Encourage referees to blow for obstruction. Having wings like an ostrich and an arse like an elephant shouldn't be the key attributes of a defender. Shepherd the ball out by all means but within touching distance. |
Letting the ball run dead by preventing an opponent from playing it and not playing it yourself is obstrction in everything but name. A free kick should be given every time.

we had to scrap that, because we couldn't trust ourselves not to cheat with it, even though they seem to manage fine on the continent with it. |
What a load of rubbish,OD. The FL outlawed it because some teams abused it, but nothing compared to how they do 'on the continent' . I remember AC Milan having ball boys spot corners and have the ball back in the second it went out, then when they had their goals those eager ball boys calmed down a little. |  | | |

You can only be offside if..
You are seeking to gain an advantage, being in an offside position is not an offence in itself. | | | |
