Return of terracing 2. 4th official gets a ball and after a goal he walks it out to the centre circle and ends all this handbags pish that goes on. 3. Players wear numbers 1-11. 4. Allow trainers on for an injury while the game is going on. referee can stop it if they interfere with play. Cut down on the playacting and timewasting 5. Get VAR to buggery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Like all of the above and would add these: 1. Introduce a sin bin. might reduce the number of deliberate fouls if team has to play for ten minutes a man down. 2. Get rid of time wasting near corner flags with only a few minutes to go. 3. Reduce the number of subs on the bench, 4. Ban all sponsorship and any form of advertising by betting companies. 5. Restrict the control FIFA and have over domestic football. 5 i. Home and away kit only, no ridiculous we want your money third kit and Euro kit etc. Edited October 3, 2022 by Eednud 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1. Make the World Cup every 20 years instead of every 4 years. 2. Ban Tifos from stadiums. 3. All matches to kick-off at 3PM on a Saturday. No exceptions. 4. Abolish the Champions League/Europa League/Conference League. 5. Let goalkeepers handle the ball outside the area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1. Alan Forrest in the Scotland squad 2. Alan Forrest signing for Man City and displacing Haaland. 3. Alan Forrest becoming King displacing Charles III. 4. Alan Forrest taking over Space X and staring a Moonfootball League by 2024. 5. Alan Forrest to become Death, the destroyer of worlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1. Change the regulation diameter of a football from 22 cm to 2.2 metres. 2. Change the maximum height of the goal to 1.1 metres. 3. Change the league format to one based on player height. We could have the shortarse league (max 5 foot 6), the medium league (max 6 foot) and the premier league (over 6 foot). Teams can only be promoted if they sack the entire squad and replace them with taller players. 4. Change the pitch sizes so that the length must be at least 4 times the width. 5. Make the pitches 3D. Instead of having painted lines on the pitch for the boxes, centre circles and so on, 3 foot high walls will be built instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1. Terracing 2. Away team to wear their first kit wherever possible, Aberdeen wear red away from home, Killie blue & white, Liverpool travel in red. And home team to only wear a different kit if a clash. No just changing kit so the manufacturer can see it wore a specific number of times. 3. Less assumption that the keeper needs to be protected and that if he goes down he might be a cheating pr*ck rather than assume he been fouled. 4. The pies should be at a minimum warm and edible. 5. One commentator is enough, Co-commentators spout obvious and unnecessary rubbish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time wasting only occurs when the ball is out of play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 I'd add that something needs to be done with yellow and red cards. When a team goes down to 10 men it changes everything and is almost always a borefest for the fan. Maybe 3 yellows or a sin bin type deal like @Eednud said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1. Give fewer penalty kicks. They're usually hugely out of sync with the offence committed and they have a huge bearing on a game. 2. Sin bins. I was against this for a long time, but I've come round to it. 3. A proportion of tv money set aside for a fund to subsidise fan travel to inconvenient kick-offs. 4. A grant from the government to demolish the daft 10,000 seater 90s stadiums and rebuild them with terracing or smaller so they're good places to watch a game. Looking at you Airdrie, Dunfermline, Livingston. 5. Hearts should win more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 minutes of added time in the recent Saints win v Sellick, where Curtis Main bodied 2, 3...4 Sellick players at the corner was an absolute delight. Probably not so much enjoyment for the Sellick fans but fuck them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 maximum number of players contracted by any club capped at 25. not just the first team squad - the whole shebang, you want to bring someone in then you need to let someone go to make room 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Sin bins. At the moment an 88th minute yellow is meaningless compared to a 2nd minute yellow for the same offence. The game to continue while the ball is in play. Technically they shouldn't but Refs seem to always choose a moment when no goal chance is imminent to decide time is up we may as well make that official. It also means that the final clinching moment is driven by the players themselves Bigger Goals: The crossbar was invented in England in the 1870s when the average man was five foot five and 6 foot would be tall even for a goalkeeper. Basically modern Women are currently playing with the right size of goals but modern men aren't. If any club wins a 54th league title they get liquidated and have to start again. We had a natural experiment and it worked well. In fact we should probably do it if anybody ever get's 10 in a row Hearts to lose less often: @VincentGuerin may have been slightly unrealistic Edited October 17, 2022 by topcat(The most tip top) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I’d like to see goalnets that aren’t as tight as an Aberdonian going for a pint with a Paisley Buddie. Petty things that get on your nerves maybe, but this is one of them. A cracking shot flies into the net (most shots or headers actually), and the nets are so tight the ball pings straight back out at a hundred miles an hour. I want to see the net bulge and the ball stays in the net. Anyway, there you go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 70 minute game, timekeeping like basketball, any foul or stoppage and clock stops, no more reason for timewasting. If we keep VAR then use it to penalize all pulling, shoving and obstruction in the box at corners etc, would clean up the game in 2 weeks. Prize money shared in a fairer way ie, European and TV money split right through the leagues so it's more competitive (giving a million or 2 to bottom of the top league gives teams an unfair advantage over championship teams, not to mention rangers/Celtic and the advantages they get) More help to keep admission and team kit prices down. Subsidised travel to away games! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ian Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 1. A culture emerging where players put club loyalty (especially if they’re your boyhood heroes) above money. 2. Terracing being the norm. 3. Bigger goals. 4. A cap on replica kit prices. 5. The training of youngsters to focus on playing with smaller footballs to help with technical skills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send that Aberdeen captain straight off. No sin bin thank you. 3. Nope. Aberdeen sold out their stand for a 12.30 kick off on Christmas Eve in Paisley. Clearly, they’re minted and keen. 4. Nope. Airdrie, Dunfermline and Livingston can never be good places to watch a game. 5. Nope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
