If you had the power to make rule changes how would you do it?
Here are a few i'd do..
1) Ban the keeper from using his hands from a header back from his defence or a throw in. Would encourage attackers to attack every back pass.
2) Penalty shoot outs after every international friendly draw. Not quite a pressure situation like a World Cup but still better practice than a training ground shoot-out.
3) Australian style minor Premiership and Grand final end to the season. Top 8 sides go into play-off style tournament and winner is crowned champion. Would make the end of season more interesting knowing any of the top 8 sides could win the title. Give all 4 semi finalists CL places.
4) Scrap the league cup. No-one cares about it.
5) Make the World Cup every 2 years. That way more countries get to host it and there is less annoyance at having to wait up to 50/60 years to hold it again.
What would you guys do if you could change football?
How would you improve football?

Maybe if we throw more money at it then it will come back to life.

Err yes of course it can. You just have to make, it, wait a few generations and slip in the back door.

Games to finish when the ball owners mum calls him in for tea.
Rush keepers.
3 pots and in.
Fattys and speckys to be picked eventually.
No boots with studs.
Whoever kicks the ball out of play has to go and get it - even if the ball ends up in the river.

Melton I think in all honesty it doesn't take a minute or so to see if someone is injured seriously or not. If they have too receive treatment 5mins waiting for the game to stop, a trainer on then sorting out & administering treatment Then being allowed to return to the field of play is pretty much about the same length of time it is now. A team with injured player would not be penalized because if it was serious a sub could be used immediately.
regards the Goalkeeper, If a keeper wants to feign injury surely a 5 minute deterrent would certainly make them think twice, If it was genuine most keepers end up being subbed anyway. Failing that you could allow keepers to continue feigning injury if it helps their team.

Can't believe this has nearly 150 comments and no-one mentioned the offside rule needs looking at. It's become an absolute joke and really is pretty subjective on the linesman/referees.
Surely it's in the interests of everyone if we get rid of the interfering with play nonsense...
I agree with some other things but the playoff thing for the championship is a no go at all (sorry Robb terrible idea) if you finish top of the league you deserve to win it. It may also inadvertently hand Liverpool a title in the next 10 years and we definitely can't be having that!
I would also change the CL losers moving into the Europa. To me it devalues that competition so much by allowing that to happen. It should go back to being the cup winners cup, with most countries having 2 cup comps there should only be 2 from each country.
