Proposed changes to the rules of football.

[Majorblue]

Apparently the organising bodies are trialing some fundamental changes to the game including;

Two 30 minute halves.
Unlimited substitutes
Throw ins replaced with kick ins
5/10 minute yellow cards.

I have not seen anything , officially, on this but three different people have been messaging me about them.

Assuming there is an element of truth on this what are people’s thoughts on the proposed changes?

[Cleve van Leef]

If true the football authorities are hell bent on ruining the game.

[Hilts]

Of course they arent considering this.😂😂😂

[lardy]

Of course they arent considering this.😂😂😂

Is the correct answer

Three 30 minute halves, surely.

[xsnaggle]

Throw ins replaced by kick ins reduces City’s attacking options by fifty per cent at a stroke .

Your kidding wed thrive. Wed be smashing long balls into the box from inside our half.😂

Bar the 30 minute half, it is ridiculous. That has some sense but I'm still against it.

Unlimited subs is a farce and the other rules just aren't needed. You've got the best game in the world, stop messing with it.

the 30 minute "ball in play" halves would mean that most of not all Cardiff games would have more actual football played and it would cut out a lot of the timewasting

Three halves

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Three halves

I was hoping for a whoosh....

[Trigger]

Heard something about the 30 minute halves recently, not sure where.

Wouldn't be a fan of any of those listed really.

The friendly against Cambridge United?

Had started a proper reply about how it may have been mentioned somewhere during the Euros but

[splott parker]

‘Rules’ of football?????? Philistine......they’re laws of the game

[MacAdder]

I was hoping for a whoosh and maybe I got one....

I did think you might be too astute to have made such a faux pas but I thought it needed saying as it was a bit too subtle for some

I've mentioned before about these clowns messing with the beautiful game.

It ain't broke so why try and fix it

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

Isn't 30 minutes the average time the ball is in play so I assume that rule would be combined with a time-keeper?

[connersccfc]

I heard this a few years ago. The clock would stop at any stop in play. apparently it allows for more play time overall but it would also lead to an annoying countdown at the end of every game

I don't think that would be annoying - it would just be a hooter like in rugby league wouldn't it?

``Were the Yanks involved in this travesty?

[City123]

Unlimited subs is a dreadful idea, more advantages to the larger teams
"Kick ins" will just see you getting the ball smashed into the box all the time. That and unlimited subs probably ends up with "special teams" where the tall lads all get chucked on at set pieces
Sin bins is a bad idea, particularly with some of the ridiculous yellows you see

[2b2bdoo]

5/10 minute cards only works if they get VAR working (personally I don't want VAR at all)
