Well that should fix it.

Nothing about restrictions on loan players
or transfer fee caps
or wage caps
or enforcing fair play rules
or foreign ownership
or number of foreign players allowed in squads
(currently 66% in Premiership overall)
or fairer distribution of TV money to lower leagues and amateur football.
or tactical, professional fouls receiving an automatic red card.
or any of your own bete noires.

You missed a squeeze on time wasting.
For the good of the game, this needs sorting.

They’ve made a start with the time wasting-players have to leave by the nearest point on pitch when substituted to stop the slow walks across the pitch-not a lot but it’s something at least

The substitution thing won't make a blind bit of difference. They'll just wait in the middle of the pitch now instead

That's an 89th minute thing.

I want keepers booked the very first time they do it. I want the referee to signal clearly that a goal kick is ready and there needs to be a 5 second limit on how long the keeper has to take it.
The 6 second rule once the keeper has picked the ball up needs to be enforced as well.

As for play acting when you're fouled..... Going off and coming back on has done nothing and isn't even enforced that often. There should be minimum time off the pitch. If you're actually injured 2 minutes will help you. If you're not, then you're better off getting up quickly so you're team isn't down to 10 men for 2 minutes.

And it's about time there are retrospective bans for diving whether the ref saw it or not. I would even give consideration to docking the players team points if they're proven to have done it.

Good points, just not so sure about the docking points for diving but yes something needs to be done, I think we get at least 2 yellows for non dives, as for Liverpool no yellows ?

If Liverpool knew diving would result in a points deduction, they would be telling all their players to stay on their feet or they'll be getting a fine.
Same for all teams. All of a sudden, the game changes. The technology to prove it is there. It just needs a panel of reviewers to come to a majority decision as to whether the player dived or not. The findings and opinions should all be public too. IE, not a final decision only like it currently is.

VAR is going to reduce the number of dives though. And if it's not a penalty now, it needs to be a yellow unless it was an accidental fall.

Unnecessary rule changes by people with too much time on their hands trying to justify their existence.

Handballs: Too strict as is. World of difference between Llorente's winner against City and, say, Maradona's 'hand of god', with VAR correctly calling on either.
Drop Balls: Not an issue.
Substitutions: The only good call here.
Free Kicks: Not an issue.
Penalty Kicks: Not an issue.
Cards for Managers: Fair enough.

Well that'll fix it! The image of football has truly been tarnished by an attacker standing in the wall...

I want them to look at the rule relating to a GK holding the ball for more than 10 seconds (This should be monitored by the VAR) and it should be an automated countdown timer like in basketball. If you don't release the ball by the end of the timer its a free kick to the opposition.

This bugs me a lot

Why does it matter if the keeper touches the posts before a penalty?

That is an odd one, a lot of keepers like to kick the mud off their boots against the post to make sure they don't slip at the vital moment.

I read it that they can't touch the post when the kick is taken. I still have no idea why that is relevant. I assumed it was at the start of the penalty too, rather than diving and coming into contact with the post.

Love a bit of wall argy-bargy. Not sure why they're looking to get rid of it.

The article says they are not allowed to touch the posts before the ball is kicked. I assume it is to stop time wasting by the keeper walking backwards and forwards touching each post "for luck" (n)

What was wrong with Maradona's Hand of God goal?
