Just curious to see whether people feel there is much that could be better or if there are antiquated laws that are out of sync with the modern game.
For me - I'd like to ban substitutions in the last 5 minutes of the game and certainly in injury time. Nothing more annoying than the flow constantly being broken up by needless timewasting substitutions. (I know they are suppose to add on time but this never seems to happen to the right level).

You get X number of seconds to take the following else it reverts i.e.
- Goal Kick becomes a Corner or Corner becomes a Goal Kick
- Throw-In if not taken quick enough is given to the opposition.
- Free-Kick becomes a Goal Kick
The old argument would be: What if a player gets injured, if its a bad tackle then why should we be penalised.
EDIT: they've already commuted it to a yellow + a penalty haven't they? that doesn't quite seem right either idk. this could work for fouls outside the box too
If a team get a penalty and the usual penalty taker is the one taken out and requires treatment then the team taking the penalty should either be given the option of waiting until the usual taker is ready OR the team can decide if they want someone else to take it
Wonder if we'll see someone attempting to score from kick off
1) Change the offside rule back to the way it was.
2) Get rid of those stupid beachballs and go back to proper footballs.
Probably 1. Yes I know I sound like on old bah humbug git.
2) Looking to the future, and I've no idea how it'll work, but at some point a Hawkeye appeal system will come in. Maybe each team will have one appeal her game, where when the play has been stopped, they can appeal the decision
e.g. if a penalty has been given, or a player has been sent off, the penalised team can go to a TV official
It would be difficult to do this the other way round, i.e. if a penalty ISN'T awarded, as you'd then have to artificially stop the play
Also, referees should be allowed to wear fancy dress to improve relations betwenn themselves and the players.
Currently the ref or assistant give the throw/goal kick to the defending team anyway, while some twinkle toed forward gets booted from all angles.
It would stop negative play, and stop potentially dangerous play.
Hold onto the ball by all means, but not by running into the corner flag and backing into any defender that tries to get it.
Maybe, if you get a player sent off you can't make a substitution within say 10 mins to cover the position from which the player was sent off. Like a double punishment. If it's a GK then it's tough luck.
