    What rules changes would you like to see?

    What rules changes would you like to see?

    I personally hate the recent rules regarding when a player goes off for treatment that he has to wait to get the referee's attention before he can come on. I recently saw a game where the play got a yellow card for coming on before he got the ok. Surely letting the assistant referee know is enough?

    Also, the yellow card for taking off the shirt. That's just stupid.

    very frustrating but hard to deal with.
    unless they make it a foul if you make no attempt to play the ball but stop an opposing player from doing so.(as in the moment you look like you're blocking an opponent)

    I'd agree about stopping the automatic yellow carding of celebrations and taking off your shirt - Robbie Fowler's support for the Dockers, or Ian Wright and the Arsenal record breaking goal were chronicled memorably on their T-shirts. Common sense (ha!) should be employed on these issues.

    Being honest, I'd far rather to see a lot more of the rules being implemented consistently, on and off the field, particularly off the field.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I hate it when ref doesn't give peno, waves at player to get up and then doesn't book him!

    Diving is the most sickening aspect of the modern game IMO. I would even support retrospective punishments for divers caught using video evidence.

    Don't agree with you on either of these. That first rule was introduced to prevent people feigning injury and seeking assistance when there was nothing wrong. It acts as a deterrent if you have to leave the field and are delayed getting back on. I think it goes back to the German team of divers lead by Klinsmann. Let's be honest - how many injuries do actually require attention ? Very few.

    Is not the taking off the jersey also stupid ? Apparently it's a religious thing and the Moslems don't like it so it's banned. Why do you have to take off a jersey to celebrate ?

    I'd like a rule which bans players protesting decisions - bit like the rugby. Automatic yellow card for disputing a decision.

    Agree on the ball to the corner flag but not sure how you can legislate for this.

    Like rugby, only let the captain talk to the ref and if someone breaks this either overturn the decision against the player or move the free 10 yards up.

    Would agree with letting the injured player back by the assistant ref and stopping sheaparding the ball out of play.

    Would also consider letting players being subbed back on like in GAA, where a player can come off and back on again later as if he was on the bench the whole time.

    Would also like to see a propper rule about homegrown & regioanl players having to be in the team.
    As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.

    Far too lenient an approach. If a ref makes a decision it's made. If you disagree with it, even if you approach nicely, you should face a potential booking. When I started off reffing I was far too lenient on this and it allowed too much tension and aggro to seep into the play. I tightened up and employed a rule of "open your mouth and it's yellow" and the players shut up and focussed on the game. Generally led to more flowing games.

    In the GAA? Are you sure?. They recently brought in the blood sub, like in rugby, but not as you put it.

    Anyway I wouldn't agree with it. It would turn into a case of having a free kick specialist on the bench, only to be brought on and off as required.



    The whole leaving the pitch for treatment was brought in with good intentions, but it's just not working these days. It was brought in to stop feigning injury, and to keep the game flowing. But you often get a situation where a player is genuinely injured so play is stopped anyway. You're still made go through the charade of leaving the pitch, to immediatley return.



    One rule change I would like to see:

    In competitions where two yellows is an automatic match ban (european cup etc.) a yellow in a semi-final shouldn't count. i.e. if you go into the semi's on one yellow, another yellow shouldn't mean you miss the final.

    Have to say, I agree with bookings for taking shirts off. Sorry.

    Also I think players who dive and it's obvious they dive should get a straight red i.e. Chris Ronaldo


    And as for this "sheparding" the ball out of play??? It's OBSTRUCTION plain and simple

    I could never understand why this isn't a punishable offence. Anywhere else on the pitch it wouldnt be acceptable.

    I hate it when ref doesn't give peno, waves at player to get up and then doesn't book him!
    I suppose the ref's argument would be that he can accept that the player was brought down in the course of the tackle but not in a way that contravenes the rules of football.

    Is not the taking off the jersey also stupid ? Apparently it's a religious thing and the Moslems don't like it so it's banned. Why do you have to take off a jersey to celebrate ?
    If this is true (and it probably isn't) it's absolutely fcuking rediculous. With respect, i couldn't give a sh!te if Muslim's don't like it. Lots of people don't like lots of things but, much like positive discrimination, ruling someone or something out to suit a minority group is a disgrace. Don't even try giving me the anti-religious aurgument here cos if it turned out SFC or CHF fans or 'Concerned Mothers Against Naked Man Chests' were complaining that they didnt like it i'd say the exact same thing.

    I would like to see a situation were no team can make a substitution in the final 10 minutes of play unless a player is injured.
    I wouldnt agree. I think subs are a privilige teams should have to use when they please

    Don't think this would work, you'd have carnage in the semis if getting booked would have no effect.

    Fair Enough but how about no one able to make a substitution in added time unless a player is injured, as this time probably never gets made up.

    There is a strong argument for that alright - although the molehills will inevitably be turned into mountains re the player's 'injury' though.

    Hang on now. There's a difference between carnage and one bookable offence by a player going into the game one yellow away from suspension. I just think when it gets to that stage of a competition, the punishment outweighs the crime.



    As for penaltys..
    Would like to see the player fouled given the responsibility to take the kick,would make it alot harder.
    Especially if he's been hacked to the bone and stretchered off.



    As for subs, it's up to the ref to add on time, no matter when the substitution is made. And only subbing an injured player wouldn't work either

    Whiskeynose:"Ronaldo!. Lie down and pretend you're injured. I wanna make a change"
    Ronaldo:"No way boss. I have oodles of trickery left in me"
    Whiskeynose;"ROY!!"
    Roy:"Yes boss?"
    Whiskeynose:"Sort out Ronnie for me. Don't over do it, we need him for next week"
    Ronaldo:"Eek!"


    It could happen

    agree 100%. Should be an automatic 6 game ban for diving if you are proven to have done it.

    I'd also like to see a serious clampdown on dissent- like in rugby, wire the refs up so people can hear the players. Also, a straight red card for any foul and abusive language, and an immediate yellow for any dissent. IMO refs make tougher work for themselves by going easy on this.

    Also, I'd love to see a clampdown on jersey pulling- should be a straight red card. Its a cowards foul- if you want to foul someone, at least have the balls to stick your leg in!
