AsimButtHitsASix Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Here's how we fix them: we let the corner taker take as many touches as possible.Teams rarely score from corners and it just slows down the game. Letting an attacker take as many touches as they wish from a corner, rather than one touch like a free kick or penalty, would let players take a quick corner without having to sacrifice another attacking player in the corner to pass it to.If a striker's one on one and the keeper makes a save the striker can sprint with the ball to the corner and take it quickly and run back in on goal with his team mates giving him options for the pass.Thoughts?

tamba_trio Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 There's a lot of rules in football that don't really make sense: they just are that way because. A good example is the offside rule, which requires the linesman to be looking at the ball being kicked whilst also looking straight along a line. It makes no sense as a rule (it's impossible to do) yet no-one has ever tried to improve it beyond some utterly stupid "interfering with play" rubbish. The league cup is a relatively dead competition, it'd be the perfect place to try out new ideas (I'd be okay with trying pretty much anything).

Worktheshaft Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why? What's terrible about it? You'd end up with a player standing waiting for the corner taker to take his first touch before slamming into him. I've always thought that throw-ins are a bit of a weird one. I believe kick-ins were trialled at some point in England, it's something I'd like to see trialled again if only to observe the impact on the game as a one off.

AsimButtHitsASix Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 You'd end up with a player standing waiting for the corner taker to take his first touch before slamming into him. That... doesn't make sense? This isn't just corners. I think it should be the same for freekicks. A player gets halved while running with the ball on the break should be able to grab the ball. Put it down and start running again if the opportunity is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player gets halved while running with the ball on the break should be able to grab the ball. Put it down and start running again if the opportunity is there. Couldn't you then have a rule whereby the player can't be tackled for 10 yards or something? Of course measuring 10 yards in football is akin to rocket science. Walking 8 paces, letting the wall encroach a couple of yards then drawing a line isn't as foolproof as refs seem to think. I like the idea of kick ins (as a trial). If I were trialing something it'd be a line at 30 yards out, with offside only given within it. It'd condense the area for linesmen to cover, which would be easier for them. Oh and an extra ref so it's not one guy under pressure out there. It's not fair to exist them to see everything. Actually I'd change loads. I'd also stop the clock rather than add on time as it makes more sense. And anyone who needs the game to be stopped so they can get treatment should be subbed. If you're too injured to hobble 20 yards then the game should be over for you. It'd be easy to tidy up football to make it more entertaining, it's a shame no one has ever tried.

It's be like taking a quick free kick. If the player chooses to do it this way they face the consequences if it fucks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worktheshaft Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Stopping the clock everytime the ball went out or a foul occured would make matches incredibly long. I can't remember where I read it but I'm sure a study was done that concluded the average 'ball in play' time was around 70 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamba_trio Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No it isn't impossible The linesman has to look at a ball being struck whilst - simultaneously - look across a line directly in front of him. Given that the ball could be getting passed from 85 degrees to one side, being able to judge the line in front of him (even assuming he can keep up with the trained athlete sprinting at full speed to give himself a decent angle) is often going to be nothing more than a guess. Also the 'interfering with play' aspect is dubious at best. A striker isn't interfering with play but a defender is? So a defender goes back to mark a striker and the defender is interfering but the striker he's gone back to cover isn't?? All the while, the linesman also has to look directly along the goaline to judge in case a long range shot nearly crosses the line. With so many variables, offside is basically just a guess which is wrong far too often. Either the rule should be changed or the way it is officiated should be.

If the ball is out of play, play has to restart within 30 seconds - the clock continues as normal. If it doesn't then you lose possession and the clock gets stopped until play does begin. Easy.
