Ways to IMPROVE football....

...anyway, as for the fight I think it was a score draw.

you have specialty corner takers, who come on JUST to take corners like in hockey - except they have to be midgets dressed as an animal or historical figure

Callum Giles

They changed the rules to give other teams a chance, as Giles was such an animal with the dead ball.

i think football has ALOT to learn from Rugby

If you stop a free kick being taken - in any way - you're booked.

Yellow card is a sin bin

Advantage - ref sees an offence and hold up his arm to show he is playing advantage. Play carries on until the ref decides that there has been an advantage or that there won't be, and he brings things back to the original offence. Advantage can carry on as long as needs be as long as it is clear the ref is still playing advantage.

You run up to an official complaining - yellow card, sin bin.

You shout abuse at an official - yellow card, sin bin

You dive or otherwise try to "con" the officials - yellow card, sin bin

All the crap we have to put up with now would stop within two weeks.

I also do not see why the "wait for the whistle" policy seems to be applied by referees to free kicks in positions around the penalty area.

You foul an opponent to stop him getting into a shooting position, why should you then be handed the advantage back by being allowed time and space to form a wall? Tough shit- if they take it and score, it's your bad luck, and if you deliberately walk across the ball like players inevitably do to delay things, then you should be booked. End of.

Following that theme, I would also like to see if a team try and take a quick free kick but f*** it up, then they should not be given the chance to retake it.
The team tried to gain an advantage by taking it quickly, but screwed it up. Tough titties.

OK, unless the opposing team are considered by the referee to have deliberately not been 10m from the bay when the free kick was taken in which case, as in rugby, the kick should be re-taken 10m further forward. If that takes it into the penalty area then it's becomes a penalty. Persistent infringment by the team gets the next and subsequent offenders a yellow card, sin bin whatever.

It'd be interesting to see the crowd reaction if officials wore microphones like they do in rugby and American football, and had to explain their decisions.

Bet the players wouldn't be so mouthy if they knew their comments were being broadcast to the entire stadium.

The tried it once at highbury ( a game betwen Arsenal and Stoke in the late 80s) and it portrated all of the Arsenal back four, and Tony Adams especially as having an extremely limited vocbulary and a consistent vopinion of the referee's parentage, visual dexterity and honesty.

Adam's favourite phrase seemed to be directed consistently at the ref, and seemed to infer that he was " a F***king cheat".

Suprisingly the authorities have nor repeated the experiment

we still wouldn't get it past the first defender

Cripes - Beckham would get 200 England caps if that happened.

1. A giant black billiard skittle in the middle of the pitch. Knock it over and lose ALL your goals.
2. The child who is club mascot for the day HAS to come on for 10 minutes of the game.
3. Managers can only enter the technical area after spinning around on the spot with their head on a broom or pole
4. Referees on space hoppers.
5. Force the match to be played with a cheap plastic inflatable ball like when we were little
6. Goalies with giant "comedy" gloves
7. All outfield players paired up like a 3-legged race
8. You can't be offside as long as you hop
9. Bring on extra balls
10. Players must get boozed up the night before a game
11. The referee has the option to introduce a lion onto the pitch at intervals
12. Blindfold both teams and just have a bell in the football
13. Tie all players up to their goals with varying lengths of bungee rope
14. Hidden trapdoors
15. 3 touch football
16. Players given the option to be spanked on the bum by the ref instead of being yellow carded
17. The winning side given the option to "double their points or nothing" by flipping a coin

Full backs to be armed with heavy machine guns

Being called Scott McGleish means you may not be awarded free kicks, or have opposition players booked when fouled.

18. Jumpers for goalposts

Theme from Benny Hill played thyroughout the game.
