Bringing in a new extreme rule into football 23:16 - Jan 18 with 1312 viewsFrimleyBlue

If you had the opportunity for 1 season. What extreme rule would you bring into football for one season just to see what effect it would have.


Mine. A 0-0 draw results in both sides losing a point - Imagine the carnage in the final 5 minutes.

Each team can play their joker at any time and bring on an extra outfield player - the twist being that their goalkeeper isn't allowed to use his hands for the rest of the game.

Instead of penalties, the game should be decided by squid games type of contests.

All players caught wrestling at corners have to leave the pitch and sit on the naughty step for 5 minutes.

If any manager or player says the word "listen" before he answers a question that has been directly put to them, then they forfeit the game.
Bugs the life out of me that "listen" has become something that people say before answering a question. Person X is stood in front of you, and has asked a question, they are listening to you without being told to do so. So rude.

I've over thought this, haven't I

I would go with whatever body part they simulate having been injured has to be subjected to a real life version of that injury.

No. I don't have anger issues.....

I'm fine with that if it precedes the death penalty.

High powered fire hose on each touchline level with the edge of the penalty area, so four in total.

Any player can go off the pitch and operate the hose instead at any time.

An attacker could aim it at the goalkeeper, as their team mate goes through one on one with the keeper.

Imagine the fun at a penalty shootout if each team had a man on a hose!

It would come into its own in FA Cup giant killing scenarios, where non-League teams could stick their part-time firefighter on hose duty, and take out Haaland every time he gets a sniff.

Anytime there is a break in play, injury being treated etc,. one of the players standing around is offered a microphone connected to the stadium Tannoy and shown what Frimmers has posted about them on the TWTD forum. They can then dissect and correct the post so that the crowd is educated about what really goes on at football...

I’d get rid of red and yellow cards.

The Ref and Lino’s get Tazers instead. Serious foul play? Wallop. Diving, time wasting and cheating - zzzz and free perm time. Stealing yards for a throw in - bang.

I’d also issue tazers to the mascots. They can patrol the edge of the pitch and any dismal coward of a supporter throwing abuse towards one of our players gets a few 100 volts. Any supporter not dishing it up to the opposition like the Blackburn ex-scum bloke got on Saturday, also gets a dose.

Discipline on and off the pitch: sorted!

Think this one needs fleshing out more.

Losing a point could see a situation where a team decides to score an own goal to lose 1-0 to take 0 points, instead of drawing 0-0 and getting -1 point, in order to finish in the top two, reach the play-offs or avoid relegation.

If you want to encourage scoring you could have scored draws at 2 points, wins at 4 points, and no score draws at 1 point.

Or you could have a loss and a no score-draw count as 0 points. Score draws at 1 point and wins at 3 points. Maybe this is what you were suggesting?

Whenever the commentator says that so and so manager has 'pulled him off at half time', there ought to be dressing room footage and a a VAR check to see if it's genuine stimulation or just simulation.

We need a firm hand on the tiller and a 'crack' down on that sort of thing in the game.

To avoid fixture congestion resulting from cancellations due to waterlogged or frozen pitches, the matches should go ahead, but with the following kit requirements:

Waterlogged pitch: masks, snorkels, armbands and flippers for the home team
Frozen pitch: the home team play with bare feet

You may have pre-empted my next suggestion:

Any player who scores a goal has to wear a Mr Bobby costume (in their team's colours, of course) for the rest of the match.

For maximum effect, stack this with the fire hose rule change.

Good idea! I think because the home keeper is standing around a lot, one of those suits with lead weights and a brass helmet is the way forward

The old obstruction rules, like when I first started watching/playing. So you cannot push other players or use you body to stop an opponent reaching the ball.
