Rule changes - What would you make?

Corner flags should have sponsorship on them.

Question. If a penalty taker has a penalty saved or it comes back of the woodwork and he nets the rebound himself why isn't it offside?

Perhaps penalties should be one shot only. He scores or he doesn't! Bit like a penalty shot out. Then that would eliminate encroachments!

Quite like this idea I must say. No faffing.

If the penalty taker hits the woodwork and puts in the rebound, it won't count.

You can only be offside if the ball is played forward.

Really? (as in hes not allowed to score from a rebound from the woodwork?)

Have I misread that?

Nope. This has been a rule since the dinosaurs were in the top division. Another player must touch the ball before the set-piece taker can touch it again. The same rule applies for all set-pieces.

So if per se you hit the bar and it bounced back to you and you volleyed it in that would be disallowed?

Yes.

If the penalty taker whacked a penalty against the ref, it then smashes against the crossbar, comes back to the penalty taker at an awkward height, he overhead kicks the ball back against the post, it rebounds back at force but amazingly he manages to readjust himself into a somersault position, spin in the air and deliver a scorpion kick putting the ball straight into the top corner of the goal, breaking an arm and fracturing an ankle in the process. That would still be disallowed.

Thats a shame cos it would be goal of the decade, I should have stated from a free kick though- same rules?

Tell me about it. That was how I found out about the rule.

Yes, same applies for free-kicks
