backpass...

was brought in around 92 is it... to speed up or to deter time wasting and such

well its long overdue a re-look... players use the keeper to pass the ball back even though he cant handle it from 20 30 40 yards or what ever it is... its awful, boring, still timewasting... only for the keeper to hoof it up field and im many occasion out of play...
how about limiting how many times you can pass the ball back to a keeper per half... reach the limit and result in a free kick maybe or in a backpass where the keeper knows its over he backs off and it results in a race for an attcker to chase down... would be a bit more exciting...

for me changing the rule when they did so the keeper could not handle it other than a header back or what have you never really sped up the game, sometimes it results in a quick 1 on 1 situation to kick it out but nowadys with stats and robotic play ruling the game its just as timewasting and boring as before
