Like the title says, you can change any 1 soccer rule/law.

Which one, how and why?
 
The Ball - it should be made of steel spikes.

How? Just use the end of one of those ball & chain weapons.

Why? It would be hillarious!
 
None but it would add replays to see if the ball crossed the line and a goal should be given or not.
 
Ban all this cr@p like alice bands and pony tails and manicures and facials
 
I would ban any players other than the captains speaking to the ref.
 
rugby style respect to the ref
replays for offside, ball crossing the line incidents
3 match bans for blatant diving
 
T.V replays for goals. Perhaps 1 allowed per team a half for decisions in the penalty area.

Also another if I may :D

Punishment for diving after a game. Like with foul play in rugby. If 'pretty boy' takes a dive and it's not picked up by the ref a review panel will give him a ban after the game.

and one more.....


Change the offside rule back to what it was ffs
 
Time wasting. When the team is winning, the goal keeper will hold the ball and "sleep with it". I hate that. When the team is losing, he is so quick in releasing the ball.

Another thing is the balls boys. I have seen this many times. When it's the home team's throw in or goal kick, them little monkeys quickly give the ball to the player. But when it's the visiting team's turn, they don't even give the ball to the player

..and another one that I hate with all my fibre is obstruction. They don't consider it obstruction though. This is when a player shields the ball until it's a throw in or goal kick. When you try to take the ball from behind, you get refed for that!

Goal-keeper has a time limit as to how long he can keep the ball.

Ball boys are fine and when there is a issue the players complain.Also remember that they lucky to have a few balls to get thrown in they were not there a few years ago, it got introduced during a world cup.

Thats part of the game, player is allowed to shield the ball and if you cant get it off him without fouling him then its a free kick.

Diving - hate it too bits. Spoils the game.

Ya its become such a big part of the game that if a player doesnt go down in the box and misses the goal.They comment and say "if he had to go down would be a penalty" so that puts it in the mind of the player that next time may just be easier to fall than try to take a shot.

Look at etto in the Barca v man-u game, he stopped himself from falling in the box and then tried to take the shot but missed.IF he had to go down 100% he would have got a penalty.
 
Why has catalan's post being deleted?
We starting again with this cry baby crap?

Grow the fck up ppl.
 
Give every player a big spiked club, you can hit 2 people of your choice at the sart of the game :D

Straight red for simulation/diving.

And no straight red for a last defender who concedes a penalty. Yellow and the likely concession of a penalty should be enough punishment. Could even have it that if the goal goes in, the guy stays on, if it is missed/saved, then he sees red...

:eek:

No way. Players will be more inclined to commit fouls then.
 
Dont allow referees that resemble cyclops.

they all over the damn place!!!

How do you figure that? Because they might not get sent off if the penalty goes in?

They would still get a yellow - which is what happens sometimes in any case.
