Rules you'd change in the game

[Cashis]

Another etiquette one - if somebody goes down injured don't kick the ball out if it's an opposition player and you have the ball. Also if you feel that they've faked injury don't give them the ball back when play restarts.

Book players that get up straight away after going down holding their head, making the referee stop play. Drives me mental

[Heung-Min Pleat]

Ban all gays

[#FreeBTS]

any team that finishes the Premier League season with under 40 points should be automatically relegated

come at me

[Cashis]

Then you'd have to promote the same number of teams from the Championship. Which is silly.

I second Toonami on challenges, keep them very low maybe even just 1 a game so it doesn't become too disruptive but just so that ridiculous decisions don't ruin games. Knowing football managers though they'd use their challenge in the first five minutes.

Hate when people get annoyed at specifically waving imaginary cards, it's just what foreign players do which is the exact same as Rooney and Terry shouting in a referees face 'You should have fucking book him ref'. Both are asking for the same thing.

Would like to see some king of challenge system ideally initiated by the teams captain. You get it back if you're right and not if you're wrong.

Injury time needs sorted.

Ref's not to be gullible morons for play acting?

Injury time is so stupidly implemented in football. If they moved to a system where the clock stops automatically in certain instances like injuries, goals and subs we wouldn't have issues with fergie time and whatnot.

The fact that referees themselves still keep the time is just ridiculous, what with all the technology there is today, just stop the clock for any unnatural stoppage and let the ref concentrate on the game, unneeded.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I even wave imaginary cards at live matches lolz.

So true, seems a ridiculously fussy thing for the referee to have to keep track off with everything else going on. 

For me, I'd like to see the possibility of both a foul and a yellow card for diving being given, or preferably, if someone "makes the most" of a foul and feigns an injury, the other team gets the free kick instead, does my head in someone going down under a tackle (which is fair enough) and then trying to fake injury to force a yellow card or worse. They should be punished more severely for that than the original tackle imo, I'm not clever enough to come up with a fool proof system to implement this, but I think the idea's a good one.

Yep, Rugby do it and it works so well. The only thing that would be shit is if a team are on the attack at 89:59 and the ref just blows his whistle. Or even if you do it like Rugby where the ball has to go out then a keeper saves it for a corner and there's no last second corner with the 'keeper up drama.

Just pedos aren't they mike, thought child exploitation was abolished in this country.

Both feet flat on the floor when taking throw ins should be scrapped tbf.

Not so much a rule but I would scrap the silly tradition of players walking on to the pitch with kids holding their hands. Annoying and unnecessary for me.

What if your son got to walk onto the pitch with his hero, whilst also receiving free stuff afterwards (full kit, boots etc)?

Wouldn't scrap it. Great experience for young kids to meet their idols.
