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

Players are much fitter than they were when the game was invented so 11 is too many. I'd reduce it to 10 a side but allow 5 subs. I think that more subs would make it more interesting.
Also I hate penalty shootouts and would get rid of those.
After 90 minutes in a knockout game you'd have to take off one player a side every 5 minutes (minimum 2 a side at the end) until someone scored. Even one a side would be more fun than bloody stupid penalties. |  | | |

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.
Apart from Northerns pin up boy of course. |
I'm usually against rule changes, but that one was the single best change in the laws of football in at least 50 years. Watch any game from before then and the timewasting from back passes is dreadful. Many managers based their entire gameplans on abusing it. Roll it out. Pass ity back. Pick it up. Roll it out. Pass it back. Pick it up. Ad nauseum.
And seeing as that rule's been around now for nearly 25 years, any keeper 30 or under will know nothing else - they've had their whole lives to practise kicking a bal cleanly! |  |

Going back to two subs is seriously retrogressive, not least to the long term health of players
How so |
High prevalence of permanent joint problems, knackered knees, osteoarthritis, hip replacements and so on. |  |

A 3rd of squad players are not used in the top leagues
Top players will always play more games so are prone to those problems anyway and most subs are not due to injury but often used to disrupt or delay.
Less games or a break in the season with be more beneficial. |  |

I'd bring in a sin bin. 10 minutes for a cynical foul.
Players foul cynically all the time against strikers because they know they're not the last man and they'll get away with it by buying a yellow but they've saved a goal.
I'd give a yellow but also ten minutes in the sin bin.
Ban the taking of corners where it's near the end of the match and the two guys tip it to each other and waste time in the corner. Then they draw a foul and do it again.
All corners have to enter the box. No more taking of short corners especially ones that run the clock down.
Make those clowns that stand behind the goal during champions league games actually have the kahunas to do something if they see it happen. |  | | |

I like the idea of a sin bin. Any "defender" who sticks his arms up and ars e out to run the ball over for a goal kick and any footballer caught gobbing, especially in the tunnel prior to kick off in front of the mascots, would spend 10 minutes in there, the last 5 with a brown paper bag over their head. |  |

Here's one I would like:
Free kicks near the area can be taken whenever the attacking team like. No whistle needed, doesn't matter whether the fkn wall is lined up or the goalie is 'ready'. They can do it at any time. The whole business of setting up a wall takes bloody ages now, 99% of the time for someone to kick the ball into it. | |

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. |
Why is the core principle illegal.
Happens in the US with NFL. Teams have to name a 53 man roster (an NFL team has 3 separate teams within the team, for those that don't know).
You could definitely do that. Yes, you could have a practice squad or something for those left over, but it's not an great place to be.
The ending of the loan system...why is that bad or illegal. It'll spread talent out around all football clubs, trickling talent down the leagues so all benefit. It'll improve games and standards outside the Prem and make every competition stronger.
This can all be done legally. |  | | |

No subs after 90 minutes. EVERYBODY knows its a time-wasting tactic.
Why should the paying public be subjected to watching a player from the team winning at the time take an absolute age trotting off from the far side of the pitch? (and he's always on the far side of the pitch, they make sure of that!) That isn't sport. its just annoying. Refs are supposed to add 30 secs for every substitution, not all do, but it always takes a lot longer than that to sort out otherwise teams wouldn't bother. We are being cheated.
sort it out! |  | | |

An option to get noshed off by one of Tony's spare Air Steward(ess)es Hostesses every time we score.
(An opt in in case people are not interested and a choice of sex to cater for the LGBT community - I think that's when the tickets get mixed up in X and Y block.) |  | | |

We used it with aplomb at the old den in the league cup in 1987, fen wick and seaman spent the entire game doing this protecting a narrow first leg 2-1 margin, the natives started booing on twenty minutes and greeted us with a hail of bricks as we left the ground.
Also this is the reason that the ref added on so much time for the cantons goal which was totally wrong as the ball is in play and it's up to the attacking team to close it down, not that fergie knew the rule as he intimidated the officials with his stop watch visible round his neck. |  |

25 years?! flippin eck, thats gone quick.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that rule .
If the rule was brought back maybe the attacking player is allowed to slide tackle the keeper, studs up. |  |

Get rid of the yellow cards for goal celebration
Automatic yellow card for not celebrating a goal
Refs to talk to media after game to explain decisions
Refs watch linked to a clock in the stadium so we can all see where the 9 minutes of injury time comes from | |

Second one is the best suggestion on the thread so far. Winds me up no end, especially remembering that twt SWP at Stamford Bridge. |  | | |

The corner kick. WTF is that all about?? It should be a throw in from wherever the ball went over the back line! If the ball goes over between the posts then it's a throw in from behind the goal net.
To encourage higher scorelines I would suggest a points system like rugby or American football. 4 points for a standard open play goal, 2 points for a back line throw in (if my previous suggestion is taken up) or set play and 1 point for a penalty.
Free beer too. |  | | |

OK I'll get plenty of flak on this post but I'm entitled to an opinion, and you never know someone out there may agree with me, at least in part.
Association Football (soccer) has degenerated to the point that, although there are definitely exceptions, many games are low-scoring and boring. Nothing in any sport I think can beat that magical moment when the ball crosses the line and goes into the back of the net, but that doesn't happen enough. To be frank, outside of QPR, I have no interest in the game as it is due to its problems, and consider Australian Rules (I live in Oz) a much better game, albeit with its own issues.
Rules which should change, but never will...
OFFSIDE. It has ruined the game for years. I worked out that they should draw a line across from the penalty area to the touch line, and players can not be offside
before that line, only to find that the Scottish FA experimented with exactly the same
plan back in 1973. It was popular but some short-sighted officials put a stop to it.
RED/YELLOW CARDS. Too much in soccer depends on the referee.One or 2 bad decisions can ruin a game. Dealing with penalties (when to give and when not to) is a problem in itself which is hard to overcome, but something can be done to stop wrongful sending offs, and that is not to have sending offs in the first place. In Oz Rules, players may get reported but not sent off - the report will result in a player missing games, subject to the right of appeal. Don't tell me that that would encourage unduly rough play more.
DRAWS AN UNSATISFACTORY RESULT. Not a great believer in the Golden Goal concept but that surely is better than a drawn game. Play up to 15mins ew, first goal (if any) wins the game- 2pts to winner, 1 to loser. If no score in ET, then game finishes as a draw. No penalty shootout nonsense.
A couple of other thoughts:
No goal, no points. 0-0 draws mean no points to anybody. Would however encourage collusion by teams to allow goals on each side.
10-a-side. There are too many players on the pitch which results in too much congestive play. | | | |

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  |
Agree with 1 and 2 completely.
2 is used in U.S. baseball to a degree where players not placed on the 40-man 'roster' are designated for assignment ie given a free transfer. Works a treat. |  |

Agree., watching Liverpool and the infernal triangle of Hansen, Ablett and Groobelaar play keep ball for an entire match was nauseating. | |
