    Bookings for taking their shirts off during celebrations.

    Just seems a bit unnecessary. How's that any worse than doing 15 back flips and roly polies?

    bit harsh when a ball is blasted at your arm from 2-3 yards away. However I have never understood the 'intentional' and 'unintentional' rule. Surely 95% of handballs are 'unintentional' so penalties should rarely be given. And I think I'm right in saying that an 'intentional' handball is a sending off. So all penalties given should result in a sending off???? Maybe its just the wording that is wrong and handball decisions should be split between 'intentional', 'avoidable' and 'unavoidable'

    So what you are saying is that for Sepp to avoid that terrible fate we are all gonna have to stop playing football or shoot him into space?

    I think in Blatter's case, Uranus is far more appropriate..

    Re: handball - what if the rule was based on having a reasonable prior opportunity to get your bloody hand out of the way? Defenders simply should not have their hands in the air like the just don't care. If it's out there, you should eat a penalty. Likewise, if you're far enough away from the ball and it hits your hand, then intention is irrelevant - you had plenty of time to sort out your affairs.

    My rule would be to introduce a hard salary cap across Europe so that we can watch league wide competitive football again. It's disgusting to see fine young talent rotting on the benches of Man City et al. Not a super tight cap, but a sensible one that still allows the bigger clubs to compile great teams (but not hoard excess talent in roster slots 15-25).

    Agree with this but the super 10-15 would put the mockers on it, as far as they would be concerned it would limit their chances of lucrative trophies and champs league money.
    They,d be off to form their 2 conference, no relegation, similar to sports in the good old US, still think this will come in the next 15-20 years anyway

    I detest players getting away with that, it is an obstruction to me, so if a striker does that in the penalty area goal line is that allowed ?. And a rule that when a player gets an automatic red card, he should miss the match against the opponents of the match it happened the next time they play them.
