After Platini's suggestion of sin bin instead of yellows (which really won't work) what if any thoughts do you have on rule/general changes you would like to see in football. 1. Last Man red card - if a player is fouled by the last man and has a goal scoring opportunity then instead of a straight red. I would like for the offended team to be able to choose whether they would want a penalty or a red card (regardless if the foul was in the box or not.) 2. 3 subs per game but instead of only being able to name 7 you can name as many as you want. 3. Retrospective punishment for diving (if missed) also for 'professional fouls' 4. Goal line tech. 5. This might be very hard - but a refferal system. I.e. a penalty is given but the defending team feels it is a dive then they can appeal and go to video replay or vice versa where the attacking team can appeal for a penalty not given. Benefit of Doubt goes to refs original decision. Maybe 1 refferal per game (or half) its lost if you are wrong, if decision is in your favour then it stays.
No more penalties for handballs when the ball is smacked against the defender Stop defenders running the ball out by blocking the striker with no attempt to play the ball, its just obstruction Those 2 wind me up
I'd keep the red card for the last man, I think that's a fair rule, I think granting a penalty on the other hand might be too much, say the Crystal Palace game, Palace would have obviously chosen a penalty for that foul on Chamakh which was no where near the goal in the first place. I'd go with the referral system, but rather than only 1 opportunity for it, I'd give it 2.
Another rule that I'd like, is games involving extra time, after the 90 mins are up, I think the subs should start from zero again, and you can make 3 changes during that extra time period if you want to. That would make games more exciting too. Some extra times just turn into a very bland contest with players all tired and doing nothing.
I was about to post that one, it's so boring watching 2 teams with half dead players just accepting penalties with 20 mins still to go
I don't think there's much wrong with the rules as they are, any more interfering and it just complicates the game further. Goal line tech is coming in, that's a good one. I'd also like to see the clock stopped when the ball goes dead in the last ten minutes, that would stop time-wasting. Other than that I'd leave the rest alone.
I'd like to see Platini caught on camera chewing Sepp Blatters bell-end forcing resignations from them both....
