If the original Laws were brought back and applied as they should be then the game would be in a far better state. Interpretation always gives a get-out to bad decisions.

You want to see back passes, fewer goals per game and the creative players kicked out of matches?

Can't agree with that.

And why is the ball going backwards at kick off (you mean forwards) rule a problem? How has that made the game worse?
