If you could change one football rule what would it be?

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Another idea, make it 10 a side not 11. The fitness of players has never been so good, the ability to cover ground and get up and back etc, 1 less player on the field makes for more space and opportunities and open play and less 5 yard tiki taka rubbish football.

The 5 sub rule is a load of old bum as well. Just leave the game alone for crying out loud. If you want stop start 94 players ref's full of self importance then watch NFL

I’d remove fans, they add nothing apart from complaints, racism, online bigotry.

Did anyone suggest sin bin (blue) cards?

This poxy rule where the linesman cant raise his flag until 30 seconds after he has decided the move was offside, absolutely does my swede in!

Hear people moaning about this all the time but it's the only way they can implement VAR for offsides.

Let them play on, and then check it if they score.

They can hardly check it after the lino has raised his flag and be like "oh right sorry, carry on" if they get it wrong

Anyone wearing red should get a red card…..

Bit annoying if it filters through to grass roots level, unless the ref is off to check someone's phone (ive seen this done )

Offside law needs to be fixed asap! Trying to determine if a player's toenail is off side by drawing a line on a video screen is farcical in the extreme.
The sooner this nonsense is put to bed the better.

Lets go back to relying solely on crp / bent refs. We will still get short-changed, but at least the get shafting us is in front of us on the pitch and we can give him dogs abuse. Those clowns sitting on the couch at Bletchley are too isolated from the consequences of their decisions.

Keepers should not be allowed out of their box. Too many balls over the top are swallowed up by the sweeper keeper rushing out and kicking the ball out of play. Bores the t!ts clean off me. I miss the goals coming from balls played over the defensive line to the nippy forward who leaves them in their wake. Can you imagine Virgil having to deal with those balls without the help of Allison sweeping up behind him?

Any football pundit or presenter who starts sentences with the word ‘listen’ should be immediately banned from all FIFA-affiliated stadiums, and barred from broadcasting the sport.

That would be Rio Ferdinand, Paul Merson and Laura Woods instantly out of a job.

It’s like being talked down to by people who probably left school at the age of 14 without a qualification to their name.
