Would love to see sin-bins for yellow cards personally, would cut out time wasting etc (esp with gk's) straight away if enforced correctly

Obviously still several years away even if approved but would be the right way to go imo, along with enforcing the captain being the only player to approach the ref
 
Personally I would like them to get rid of injury time. If play stops in 90mins the ref should stop the clock and then resume it again when play starts.
 
How about they sort out the refereeing decisions first :p

Video replay would be a good start..

Video replays don't clear everything up. How do you decide if there was enough contact for a penalty from a replay. Would teams have a certain number of reviews? If not, how do you decide what to review?

Liverpool conceded from a soft free kick last night. Would they have referred it? Probably not. Do you allow them to decide after the goal that they want to have a look at it again. It just doesn't work very well in football for most things.

This would be abused to high heaven by teams. If they want another sub they will just go down under a tackle and claim they can't go on.

Sin bin for yellows is just a silly idea as well. Goal keeper gets a yellow for something and you don't have a keeper for 10 minutes. 2 of your defenders get yellows in the first 10 minutes and you could be screwed for innocuous tackles.

The number of stupid yellows given out is already very high so imagine that but with those players being sin binned. Imagine the anger when a player is sin binned and the other team score and when you look back at it they shouldn't have got a yellow.

Could all be fixed by making the game 70 minutes and stopping the clock every time the ball goes out of play instant end to most time wasting and the same length of actual playing time!

Sin buns I'd like as a half way house between yellow and red.

I guess a prerequisite of what Pigeon suggested would be that the ref would need to award a foul.

With reviews, clearly it'd be like other sports. A limited number of reviews, but you don't lose one if you were right. Then they only overturn decisions if it was clearly wrong. So eg. in cricket where they say it's so close they stick with the umpire's call because of the uncertainty of where the ball was going to go/the margin of error. Or in rugby and the NFL where there has to be clear grounds to overturn the initial decision. They'd still be controversial calls, but they'd be far fewer than we currently have.



I'd like that because it'd limit time wasting. In a premier league match, iirc, the ball is only in play for about two thirds of the ninety minutes. It's mad.

You say it's mad that the ball is only in play for 60 minutes of the 90 but compared to two of your examples, NFL and Rubgy, that's a hell of a lot. NFL average somewhere around 12 minutes in play over 3-4 hours and in Rubgy it somewhere in the 30-40 minute range over 80+ minutes. That means that you're either going to get less football over the 90+ minutes or the average match is going to take longer that it did before. There are compromises to make in making the game "fairer", whether they're worth it not is the real question.

I have to compliment them on the goal decision system though. It's quick, effective and from what I've seen, incredibly accurate. Best of all no time is wasted.
 
Difficult to compare other sports to football. So many things need reviewing imo. I would use video refs for penalties, offside and sending off. For the calls that even the reply can't decide I would stick with the original call, similar to drs in cricket.
As for sin bins, the NHL has a good system with the player returning once the others score or the penalty runs out. Increase the time to 5mins or 10mins.
I still don't understand the reluctance to implement the technology.
 
just make the refs run the games to the rules instead of making it up as they go along.

that would stop a lot of time wasting and cheating.

because there would be that many cards given in the first week, teams would clamp down on it themselves.

Trouble with that is you get genuine injuries from non fouls.

It'd just never work, people would abuse it ala the Rugby blood scandal.
 
Sin bins?

Jesus christ, with the state of refs this season I would imagine a game being 3v3 a very real possibility.

What next special teams for freekicks etc?
