Changes to the rules

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

No ball for the first 20 minutes of the match.

[bigblue]

No ball for the first 20 minutes of the match.

And no players for the last 20

[Wonderwall]

They have to play with a flyaway ball.

Each team has a power play where they can pick 1 opposition player to remove from play for 10 minutes. Both teams are not allowed the use their power play at the same time. Home team must begin the power play before 60th munite and àway team before the 80th minute.

Stop the clock when the referee blows for a dead ball situation or an injury. Keep it rolling for a throw in.

[littlebig]

Hot, semi naked chicks to introduce each new minute of the game like they do for each new boxing round.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

The players have to wear blindfolds. Apart from Kolarov, he can take his off.

[Dameerto]

No ball for the first 20 minutes of the match.

And no players for the last 20

And no ref for the 50 minutes inbetween.

[DoomMerchant]

Make the goals bigger
Reduce teams to 9 a side
Fly goalie
Rolling subs
Sin bins
Orange cards
Specialist kickers for dangerous free kicks
2 goalies for a penalty
Bonus point for 5 or more goals

3 corners = penalty
Play on roller skates
Mixed teams

I can see most of those other ideas, but...roller skates? Come on man.

Also yr still Swedish enough that you should consider ice skates first, no?

Cheers

MULTIBALL!

MULTIBALL!

I'm a fan, also. But can you imagine how fucked our teams would be in the later stages of European competition after a season where they get no rest in the games?

[Dubciteh]

I have genuinely a great idea that would be brilliant but I don't have time to write it out properly, I will next week though!

Can't wait!

[South Stand Balti]

I don't see any need for all those white lines and circles on the grass. Just keep playing. I have never understood the need to put air in the ball either.....it just means the ball keeps bouncing out of play.

The whole ball thing is a bit redundant to be honest. We could just get drunk, chant a bit of abuse at the away fans and then have a coin toss.

Do we even need a coin?

[sheblue]

I'd like to see up to 4 subs in any game.

Would allow for greater tactical flexibility on game by game basis. Would see more of the squad getting game time thereby potentially reducing fatigue over the season.

how often do you see 3 subs being used anyway. i haven't checked the stats but it's not very often

That's potentially 8 subs per game, probably too many during game time, maybe 3 in game time and one allowed at half time if required.

[nottsblue]

The referee to have a presser after the match like the managers have to. Watch them squirm as they are shown replays of their decisions and are asked to justify them

[Swales4ever]

Players who bad mouth the referee receive an instant yellow. I just hate to see it.

agreed. but would be great fun, if applicable to shrek.

also, please find below a correction, to your undeliberate quoting error:

Teams, other than from Salford (Greater Manchester), whose players surround and berate the referee docked a point.

You could be on to summat here... tweak it a little and make it a compulsory halve time sub of the player not pulling his weight, wage linked.

Might have helped us this season?

This should be become law

Yes. Good idea, Notts.
