East Broads area.
Thought I'd revive this from ages ago as it was good fun.
It came from discussing the game and Footy in general on a Saturday night in the pub with a few mates, and it seemed that after the Third Pint went down some "interesting" ideas were forthcoming.

One i remember from a while back was that every player should have a referee to follow him around to stop the cheating!! Cue gales of laughter, and angry frown form the one who suggested it!

The latest one was in reference to Benteke's dive against Palace; All players should have "Snickometer's" in their boots to make sure there was contact!

Please add any you might have as I'm sure a lot of you will have the same experience's,
 
The best one I heard recently is that all players should wear shirts made of paper. The first time a defender tries to shirt-pull, they're going to be left looking stupid holding a handful of paper, as the striker disappears off towards goal. Might have to tattoo player numbers on their backs, but never mind.

I'ts a wonder the Yanks have'nt tried that yet HMQC, Some rule akin to hockey where only certain players are allowed in the penalty area, making it less congested. Similarly, no player except the goalie in the six yard box when a corner is taken.
 
No penalty shootouts, instead goalkeepers are taken off for extra time. No players allowed in either penalty area except for one defender at anyone time. Goalden Goal rule applies.

So that one defender would stand in goal, I suppose, but wouldn't be able to use his hands?

Alternatives to penalties is a great 3rd pint topic. We came up with unlimited overtime as the best solution

We'd been here on this one;
The home team gets to chose a player from the other side to be taken off, play 5 minutes then the other side get to chose 1 from the home team. This goes on for every 5 minutes until someone scores.

I'm still a fan of some kind of sin-bin concept.
I think refs would be far more likely to apply the letter of the law if it didn't disadvantage the game like a sending off would. Dive/holding/shirt pull = 10 (?) minutes on the touchline, then any other infringement during the game and a red card would kick in as normal.
Plus hopefully 10 minutes watching your team mates numerically disadvantaged might give the guilty party time to see the stupidity of their earlier action <ok>

Instead of penalties we should have the two hardest bastards in each starting XI fight to the finish with lions coming up from pits. Has to be a player from the starting XI who finishes the game though. We wouldn't want Chelski bringing on Conor McGregor with 30 seconds to play!

Bah!

Taking this to other sports, in this case cricket, how many games have been turned into a draw because of inclement weather? The solution is simple, both teams bat through until all wickets have been lost, it would stop tactical slow over rates!

Plus we'd have the pleasure of hearing Boycott bang on about how difficult it is / was to bat on uncovered wickets....

...maybe this isn't such a great idea after all.:steam:

<yikes> I have to mute or turn it down when he's on air.
I'm no great fan of David Lloyd, either.
And, if anyone has ever watched any IPL T20, you'll be au fait with Danny f******g Morrison :emoticon-0119-puke:

I don't mind Lloyd too much, though he has become a bit of a caricature of himself.

With the IPL Ravi Shastri used to raise my hackles.
Annoying english slang remarks he'd come out with like 'He's been bohl-ed by an ahbsoloot chaffa' or 'that's a real Bobby Dahzzler'
