FindernRam Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 American Football has a rule about progress before you give the ball to the other side. I'm not sure but I think Rugby League is similar. Idea for proper football: If you get possession in your own half you have 6 passes to get into the opposition half or an indirect free kick is awarded to the attacking side. 4th official could monitor it.

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 What a terrible idea. If there's 1 sport football should do everything possible to not be like, it's NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 My suggestions would be; 2 halves of 40 minutes each, externally timed with only the time the ball is in play counted. Enforce the 6 second goalkeeper release rule. Time wasting becomes pointless. Only 1 substitute allowed. Watching players trying to cope in strange position - even more so when an outfield player ends up in goal is fascinating. Also means squads can be smaller, making the playing field a tiny bit more level. Scrap the transfer window - it's been a disaster, driving up costa and lowering quality. Offside rule only kicks in when the attacker's torso is past the defender ie he's counted as level until there is daylight between. Give the FA Cup winner a Champion's League place. Derby County to play in blue shorts and starting to win things again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching players trying to cope in strange position - even more so when an outfield player ends up in goal is fascinating. Also means squads can be smaller, making the playing field a tiny bit more level. I like this. Scrap the transfer window - it's been a disaster, driving up costa and lowering quality. - Agree 100% Offside rule only kicks in when the attacker's torso is past the defender ie he's counted as level until there is daylight between. - didn't this used to be the interpritation? Give the FA Cup winner a Champion's League place. Agree 100% Derby County to play in blue shorts and starting to win things again. - Agree 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Mel's really cutting back on his spending this season. He won't even replace the old floodlights. Once a takeover goes through we should be able to afford new ones which will brighten the pitch up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally games should be played only in the Eton Quad and followed by hot buttered muffins and buggery..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be said Rugby Union is a game for thugs, played by Gentlemen and Football is a game for gentlemen played by thungs. And Rugby leage is best left in australia.
