It was done in nort america when football was at its peak in the 70s and 80s when crowds for games exceded 50,000.Originally Posted by Firepickle
I read Peter beardsleys book about his time playing for the Vancouver whitecaps before joining us and they had that method in place instead of a shootout.
Peter was actually fond of the idea,,
Good read...
I thought it was a reasonable suggestion even if the other person didn't. Maybe increase number of points for win and have a difference for a score draw over a 0-0 plus extra points for reaching a threshold of goals. Bit like in Rugby Union in getting bonus points.
I have been advocating this for two years, got moaned at for suggesting it, fans saying it would take to long, we need the tech!! what would you rather have a 30 second wait or a player sent off or a goal given against you that loses you the match?

Have said in another thread that penalty shoot outs would be far better if they were 22 penalties. the remaining players after 120 mins should all have to take a penalty. the recent league 1 shootout was fantastic as it went all the way to the keepers
would also like to see 'fergie time' abolished . the f.a would probably change the rule so that if you score against utd it counts as 2 goals for them!
Bigger goals and height restrictions for goalkeepers.
Match to be analysed afterwards and players banned for diving.
Nice one !
I would like to see bigger pitchs, three or four times the size and twenty or thirty people on each side.
Jumpers for goalposts. That would surely solve the need for video technology.
Interesting article that, here are my thoughts.
Filtering money down, cant be a bad thing i guess.
I would not stop injured players from leaving the pitch, this was introduced for good reason i think.
Im not sure how you could deal with the double punishments, i think they are fair, maybe the rules could be made clearer, i think that might be what you mean, if so, i agree there.
Interviews, nah i like to keep them, one of the few good things about these horrible ppv tv stations is that you get to see what the players thought of the game afterwards.
I dont like the idea of a sin bin but the rules should be stricter for dissent in my eyes, swaering at the ref, even a **** you, should be a bookable offence !
Video technology yes i would like to see this in, they pay a fourth official to do **** all so he could well watch that as well. It would not "slow the game down" as they claim either, the teams themselves slow the game down more than that will with the dirty time wasting tactics anyway.
I would rather champions league become a knock out tournament, i also prefered it when it was just the champions and cup winners, nowadays its not tecnically a Champions league anymore its more of a champions and runners up league. Changing this however might impact certain clubs incomes, but it would be a better tournament i think.
I think Players should keep their shirts on, is asking them to remain fully clothed for 90 minutes too much ?
A fit and proper test, yep thats good but i think the economy is not really stable enough to seek so many assurances, would have to see how what exactly it entails really before i have more of an opinion.
No chairmen or board members to be part of the FA, this goes without saying and shows how bent the FA really are, this should have been a rule already to be honest, it takes the ****.
No subs in injury time sounds like a good idea, Im not too sure about this one, i get the idea, you really get to test both teams for fitness and the game becomes a true test of the players but keeping knackered players on the pitch can be dangerous to their health surely ?
I never really liked monday night football when SKy was introduced, but i have grown to like it, i think more football on tv is a good thing, especially as these channels charge alot of people alot of money to watch them. The atmosphere at these games can be a bit lacklustre though i think, thats the only downside i think to this one. If there was more football on tv then i would not support this one but atm i want to watch as many games as i can.
You could do them both and put a camera / sensor in the sweater, you could also keep drinks and stuff in them so the players can have a swig every now and then, maybe even a packet of fags for the budding rooneys and coles out there too !
Injury time would be when Mum calls the players back in plus 5 minutes!
Next goal wins....
I think that it would be a good idea to just get one of the people watching the game to run the line too, i dont think we would see a drop in quality or fitness levels, and i think im actually serious there
I'd like to see
1. Video review for key decisions such as Yellow/Red cards, over the line decisions, pens which could all be overturned within a 5 minute period.
2. A home side should only be allowed to spay water in equal amount of the pitch and not at half time.
3. Professional referees with a reward system based on correct decisions.
4. A yellow card in a semi-final should be carried over to the final and not suspend a player. The player should start on a yellow card instead of being banned from the final.
5. Completely random fixtures.
6. Completely random referee assignment.
7. One forward player must remain in the opposition half and at least one defender must remain in their own half.
Referees to be fined should they make a series of critical mistakes in a match..
Video review is now used as evidence to punish players after the match for some severe misconduct, but this should be increased to also cover diving, "elbows", holding shirts etc. If a foul would qualify for a yellow/red card (even if the ref didn't see it), the football associations should be able to give cards also post-match.
I would like to see players that dive get a 2 match ban and the club fined a pre arranged fee which can be put in to place after the game when the analysis has been done by the ref, It wouldn't stop it out right but would make players think about it before they decide to go down to easily.
Get rid of this nonsense were your expected to kick the ball out of play when a players down injured, look at rugby. It ridiculous.
Ridiculous idea.
Cheerleaders, no free kicks for fouls, and all players to update Twitter at half time, and after a game.
Two things to improve football:
1. Do whatever it takes to stop players exaggerating contact. This, above all else, is s[poiling football for me.
2. Make it a rule that more than half the eleven on the pitch at any one time must be wearing predominantly black boots.
Allow teams to use their full roster of substitutes in extra time to keep the game fresh and help prevent injuries.
Allow people to tackle again.
Should cut out that shirt pulling and wrestling that goes on if players know that they can actually make a sliding tackle (say), cleanly win the ball, and not get blown up for a foul let alone sent off.
I do like this.
What do the players do while they wait for the decision, stand still in exactly the stance they're in (with their legs in the air, etc) and then start from there when the decision is made, if it is to continue the game? It's doesn't matter how quick the decision is, it can't be instant.
In the other sports you mention the decision is made while the game is stopped. In some instances in tennis the umpire may have to decide if the call affected a players reaction - the players sometimes disagree with the umpire and this causes a problem even using instant (they can't be instant) replays.
I had this discussion in another thread but I do agree with you about using video replays. The sending off in the Russian game was laughable and the card should be withdrawn.
Should they check all videos of the games and if a player is booked after bit of play-acting by an opponent and the video replay shows this, why not give the yellow - or red - card the actor?
Why not stop the clock each time a player gets treatment, subs etc, as they do in some other sports. This would stop time wasting as it wouldn't make any difference.
1.Goal line tech
2.wage cap`s for over payed footy players
3.yellow cards for diver`s
4.Getting booked for taken off your shirt
When I think about how much I used to love football and how nowdays I don't love it so much, the things I would change are:
Liverpool to have the best players
Liverpool to have the best manager
Liverpool to win the league most seasons
Liverpool to win Champions league more often
United to struggle to win anything at all
A separate opening and closing championship for the first half and second half of the season like they have in Argentina (or is it Brazil?). Adding the points together at the end of the season gives an overall champion.
Might make the league a little more interesting.
I thought it was a good idea (2pts for score draw) but in addition increase win to 4 points.
