Rules that would improve the game

No subs, less protection, transfers once a season , same manager for a season. No offside
Should liven up the product 🫤

T’was always so mate, why did they change that? Just tinkering for the sake of it.

There used to be a rule called "ungentlemanly conduct" which covered ALL these types of shenanigans. Bring it back I say!

Used to be a rule called obstruction.

Now its like American football blocking players off without the ball,blocking the keeper.

In our 5-a-side league we have Blue Cards - two offences and you're off for 5 minutes (in a 20 minute game).

fine until your side attacking hits him, other side get ball and score. I don’t mind that rule makes sense. What is stupid is when hits him still goes your player and he stops that’s dumb.

Fully agree and a great idea.

Should be a red card really. He's stopping a clear cut opportunity 

I like that. We still wouldn’t play them🙂

3 game bans and fines (with proceeds going to grass roots football) would eradicate diving/cheating overnight, if retrospective video clearly shows that no or minimal contact had been made to a player going down.

IMO it's the biggest blight on the modern game, that makes a ref's job even harder than it already is, besides the fact it sets a terrible example to young players entering the sport.

If FIFA/UEFA/FA/EFL really wanted to clean up the sport and repair their broken reputation, this is the kind of 'fair play' and sportspersonship they should be directing their actions towards.

Zero contact, or the kind of contact that wouldn't ordinarily result in the player diving. Just as one example: when it's outside the penalty area and the team retain the advantage of possession, hence no incentive to dive.

If a player ensures there is contact and it results in an ACTUAL foul by the defender's lack of skill, then of course that's different.

As said, retrospective video technology, with all the camera angles now available, could clearly expose the cheaters.

It really isn't rocket science and absolutely could be enforceable IF the will is there to get rid of it.

Get a panel of neutral experts if need be on the less obvious cases. That wouldn't be needed for long though because, as said, by the time it's got to that stage the sanction has removed the incentive for players to cheat in the first place. The last thing they'd want is to let down their team-mates and fans. And managers would stop coaching and encouraging it too.

At the bare minimum this needs to be debated as it's a huge scourge on the modern game. Players also use it to time-waste which in itself ruins the game as a spectacle. You wouldn't then need up to 10 minutes added time which can be a farce, with time added on top of added time.

Let clubs spend what the dickens they like to try and compete with the likes of Chelsea and Man City and not fine them when they fail on there first attempts.

scrap FFP as it makes the rich clubs richer and the poor clubs poorer so its not an even playing field

When teams make multiple substitutions - be it two, three, four or five - make them all in one go. Not one at a time, as apart from being incredibly boring for the viewer, it wastes an inordinate amount of time. E.g. three off, three on, ALL AT ONCE, FFS.
