New PL rules

Rule changes I'd like to see are rules to speed the game up, goalkeepers to take goal kicks on the side the ball goes out so the keeper doesn't take an age crossing the penalty area to take the kick, maybe an allotted time for the goal kick to be taken. Also Possibly a return to the 6 second that the goalkeeper have to release the ball.

I’d like to see a throw down like in hockey. 30 seconds to knock piss out of each other

If its slightly windy then games are abandoned. And 3 pts go to whoever Liverpool are playing against

In reality every penalty should result in this.
This is why the rule has been brought in with VAR imminent.

Me neither. Over officious refs would leave us with 8 playing 8! It would also mean an additional use of VAR, since the ref would have to be certain that the second yellow was warranted. And it would also result in the side with the man short wasting the time he was off the pitch and playing in a negative, safe way until he returned. All in all, a lousy idea.

I thought the six second rule was still in place? Just refs are useless at enforcing it. If it is, I bet they wait until the keeper has stood up before counting (ha, as if they count).

Yes!

I sometimes count up to 15 seconds when goalkeepers have the ball in their hands. The most I've ever seen a referee do is wave their hands to hurry them up. The only yellows I have seen given are for taking too long on goal kicks.

There should be a five-second rule once the whistle is blown to take the goal kick, and 8 seconds once ball is in goalkeeper's hands; if he doesn't release it then the following should apply:

1. First offence, verbal warning given, no additional time added on
2. Second offence, indirect free kick, no additional time added on, but no yellow card (as outfield players are allowed numerous fouls before they are carded)
3. Third offence, indirect free kick, yellow card, 30 seconds onto additional time [as the GK is clearly taking the P by this point]
4. Fourth offence, indirect free kick, second yellow card, sending off, further 30 seconds onto additional time end of the half [GK has shown a flagrant disregard for the rules having had three chances already to speed things up]

That would allow the goalkeeper two chances to learn from his mistake before he is carded, yet give the opposition an advantage after just the second offence (free kick).

I would give goalkeepers three chances to speed up their goal kicks.

1. First offence (taking too long) referee signals with his hands to hurry up
2. Second offence is a verbal warning and 30 seconds time added on
3. Third offence, yellow card and an additional 1 minute added on
4. Fourth offence, second yellow card given, sending off, further 1 minute added

I'd kin love to be on the FA making up rules.

No subs in injury time and scrap VAR, that would do me.

What about a “snipers for divers” scheme?

what if someone is genuinely injured in injury time

The only team I can ever remember being pulled up for this was us v Forest in ther League Cup the late 80's.



Of course Forest scored from said free kick !

 

[GwladysPhil]

I think we should be able to hear what the ref is saying like in Rugby.

Fouling intentionally to stop counter attacks is becoming an epidemic and something like a sin bin might stop it. The problem is you have players like Fernandinho who should have about 25 yellows this year but instead are constantly given the benefit of the doubt because of who they play for. I just see it turning into another way to favor the "Big 6."
