Football Rule Changes

[ToffeeDan]

I'd like to annul the rule that allows the RS (and to be fair most of the Sky 4) to get away with murder on the pitch.

Nice thread bump.

For just a second, I thought GoD was let back on.

yellow cards are given too readily sometimes, so a player can end up being sent off for a couple of quite innocuous incidents. it seems to me that a tred card is more severe than equating it to 2 yellows. so i'd like to see the introduction of an orange card worth 2 yellows & make the red card worth 3 yellows. this would mean that to get sent off a player would either have to get 3 yellows, or the equivalent - all depending upon the severity of the offences committed.

there are some refs i dont trust to tie their own shoe laces.

giving these prats an extra card and the responsibility of using it and of remembering how to use it seems like playing with dynamite in a hot kitchen.

that's true, thinking back to england's finest in the world cup!
forget the orange card then, but still make a red the equivalent of 3 yellows, or else stop giving so many "soft" yellows.

or systems after matches where decisions are reevaluated, and things missed also evaluated.

I wonder when bookings and sendings off were first devised. Back at the start of the game? I doubt it. (checked - 1881 - 20 years after the first rules.. Referees weren't included in the rules until 1871!!)

So, why not another rule change to accommodate something like that or a sin-bin.


RULES FOR THE SIMPLEST GAME

Issued by J.C. Thring, 1862



1. A goal is scored whenever the ball is forced through the goal

and under the bar, except it be thrown by hand.



2. Hands may be used only to stop a ball and place it on the

ground before the feet.



3. Kicks must be aimed only at the ball.



4. A player may not kick the ball whilst in the air.



5. No tripping up or heel kicking allowed.



6. Whenever a ball is kicked beyond the side flags, it must be

returned by the player who kicked it, from the spot it passed the

flag line, in a straight line towards the middle of the ground.



7. When a ball is kicked behind the line of goal, it shall be

kicked off from that line by one of the side whose goal it is.



8. No player may stand within six paces of the kicker when he is

kicking off.



9. A player is ‘out of play’ immediately he is in front of the ball

and must return behind the ball as soon as possible. If the ball is

kicked by his own side past a player, he may not touch or kick

it, or advance, until one of the other side has first kicked it, or

one of his own side has been able to kick it on a level with, or in

front of him.

10. No charging allowed when a player is ‘out of play’; that is,

immediately the ball is behind him.

Thought id bring back this thread...came up with another suggestion...

Any team that recieves a straight red card should have a point taken from them in the league table...surely that way itd cut some bad tackles out, and maybe even arguing to the referee....

Also i think the incedent today with mascherano was the FAs response to all of this back talk. Long may it continue

Right.

So Middlesbrough should lost a point for Aliadiare's "retaliation", while Liverpool get nothing for Mascherano?
nonsense....

 

[Dom1878]

Yes. Itd soon cut it out, stop stupid fouls, stop the players arguing with referees

But the point is, referees get it wrong. Either because they are thick and make alot of mistakes, or because - my genuine belief - the "bigger" clubs have an "influence" over them. Man Utd and Liverpool (particularily Gerrard) get away with things no other team do. even then, look at Arsenal - Fabregas against us, and Artetas red card then?
your idea is balls.

 

[TX Bill]

I'd like to see retroactive punishment based on video evidence.

Mouthing off to the referee, diving when there's clearly been no contact (and even if there is contact and the player makes a meal of it), etc...

I'd want that imposed.

 

[Dylan]

EVEN if the ref has already handed out a punishment. If the ref gives a yellow for a clear red offence, then the FA should be able to go back in and hand out the correct punishment.

and take a weeks wage from the referee.

time to start punishing the bottlers and the pussies out on the pitch that get star struck and forget they are there to referee a game fairly and equally.

 

[teppic]

EVEN if the ref has already handed out a punishment. If the ref gives a yellow for a clear red offence, then the FA should be able to go back in and hand out the correct punishment.

this is the biggest flaw by the fa. if a ref misses something then the player can later be charged. but if a player is caught badly and the ref did not see clearly (or bottled it like kuyt in the derby) then the fa should step in and clear things up.
