If you were Sepp Blatter for the day, which football rules would you change?

[Ron Manager]

You are offside if you are in the opposition's half, in front of the last defender when the ball is kicked forwards.

No first phase. No second phase. You are always interfereing with play.

Agree 100%

Also, no uncontested drop balls. Get the hardest *******s from each team, drop the ball between them and watch them kick each other to get to it!

extra time is pretty much sh*t, we all know that

simple solution, bring another ball onto the pitch for extra time
that way neither team can sit back & play for pens
imagine one team attacking with two balls, great to watch !!!

its a winner...

I would like 6 out of 11 starting players to be English or half of a maximum squad of 30 players. How about a certain percent coming from the actual town or county too? That would be great.

Salary cap of about 50,000 a week. That is easily enough for the rich bar stewards.

Ticket price cap so supporters aren't priced out of the game.

No more lame friendlies late in the season.

Banning England palyers too and not picking on players like Taylor who made a mistake.

Retrospective punishments - agreed. So easy to do yet we get all the p!ssing about with cr*p like two extra goal line refs. Four blind refs are twice as bad as two blind refs.

mandatory pre-match inspection of cheerleaders by selected fans of opposing teams.

take a player off each side every 5 mins... i want to see giggs, ronaldo, rooney, vidic and van der sar against almunia, gallas, fabreagas, hleb and van persie!

Let me guess - that'd be you selecting the fans for the inspection Napster? Personally I think the idea of a post-match 'de-brief' might be quite popular too...

Loving the idea of ensuring a percentage of players are home grown but not sure that's legal as an employer. Salary caps would be pretty unpopular but the only level at which this could be done is by FIFA because if we did it just in the UK the Premiership would nose-dive overnight, so nice idea!

What about reducing the players win bonuses by 50% every 5 minutes? THat would get the money grabbing *******s up the other end to pop in a winner in no time.

 

[Pubey]

much stricter rules about encroachment once a foul has been awarded... and also players who shimmy up the line when taking a throw-in (Lewis Hunt would be screwed!!!!)

 

[SUFCLiam]

No offside would be mine
