Two things I’d change about football immediately… 19:57 - Sep 14 with 935 viewsThatMuhrenCross

1) Move to 80 mins and stop the clock when the ball goes out of play, like rugby. Instant end to time wasting.

2) Referral based VAR system like cricket. Both captains get two or three reviews. If you get it wrong, you lose a review.

I am enjoying football so much more without VAR, we can celebrate goals and then kick off again without standing around waiting to see whether or not goals are disallowed.

Safe standing behind all goals.

Cap on all away prices (like the Prem have) - say £25 in the championship, £20 in Leagues 1 and 2.

Limit the TV games to 2 a week (One on a Sunday, 1 on a Monday night) and all other games to be played at 3pm on a Saturday.

Bring back football specials and ensure one for every match so fans don't rely on coaches or hotels.

Cap player wages to £1m a year. Minimum of 3 home grown players on the pitch at a time.

Fair enough, they should definitely bin it then. You could pick the replacement.

Not only allow the slinging of bog rolls, but make it mandatory that every fan has to do one a season. Season ticket cancellation if you throw it the wrong way and it doesn't unwind.

The game has changed enough over the last few years. Bar reversing some of those changes, I wouldn't be touching it.

Time wasting is often more about killing momentum, it's not necessarily about wasting time ironically. Even if it means you still have to play the allotted minutes you can still kill a team's momentum by faking injuries and taking your time. If anything it would give teams more licence to get away with it.

And the referral system idea just seems like an unnecessary can of worms. Also, you're then no longer just re-refereeing the game, you're almost letting players referee the game. Which player will have the authority to challenge the decision, the captain? What if he was nowhere near the incident, are they going to have a conflab with their bench before deciding? If so, how long will allowed for him to do that?

There's so much potential for further controversy that people don't think about. Just like when people were shouting for VAR in the first place, they just said "we need to use technology" - there was no serious plan or thought process behind it. Hence it's been a disaster.

I love cricket but it's a completely different sport played 5 times slower than football. It works in that, it wouldn't work in football.

All away ends/sections visible on TV and close to the pitch.

Vloggers to pay a 1k match fee. Let’s see how serious they really are about those clicks and likes.

No more 3rd kits.

I’d say most vloggers do it more for the enjoyment than the clicks. Why would you want to deny someone the opportunity to pursue their hobby?

What about a half and half design? If you felt like a change we could just ask the players to face the other way. I reckon it’s a winner.

Absolutely, so much better with no VAR.
