I do think that they should allow a temporary substitution if a player suffers a head injury or other type of injury that requires a longer spell of treatment. Rather than stopping the game for say 5-10 minutes you can bring on a player off the bench and if they injured player is deemed fit to continue they just swap back.

Regular subs obviously not affected by this.

They are trialing this next year
 
If a goal is scored with an attempt made within the 'd', it is a doal. Doals count double if the game ends in a draw or counts as a triple-score word in scrabble.

A few rules I'd change or enforce properly.

- Shorter match with time done on only when the ball is in play.
- Ridiculously cynical fouls when the other team are on the counter should be a red card.
- Or sin bins for certain yellows, cynical fouls, time wasting etc.
- Consistency over shirt holding/grappling in penalty area.

Even when we play shit and draw or lose, there's nothing more frustrating than Ben Foster spending 30 minutes not taking goal kicks for the ref only to book him in the 92nd minute and somehow there only being 3 mins stoppage time despite 2 injuries, 6 subs and constant time wasting.
 
Each manager should be given a scroll of mystic prunes*.
They can use these once a match to summon a daemon to influence the game.

* Mystic prunes are similar to mystic runes, only more powerful. When the oppo see what's summoned, they shit themselves.
 
Injury time should be calculated properly they just make it up as they go along at the moment normally always much longer in the second half even if no injuries occurred in either half
The guidelines are 30 seconds for a substitution and 30 seconds for a goal. There are usually 6 subs in the 2nd half so that’s 3 minutes right there.

Fair point but I'm not convince by the way injury time is applied I'd like to see a study into it, it's certainly been abused to benefit certain teams in the past.
 
Allow a player to stay on the pitch, after he's had treatment.
The current ruling is just plain daft.
They can only do that if injury time is properly accounted for. Otherwise late on players will go down "injured" knowing they will get to stay on AND run some time down.
 
All tactical fouls should be straight red. Have a problem with that? Don’t foul.

a yellow card worthy tackle that is also a tactical foul = 2 yellows.

Any defender fouling a forward back to goal 60 yards from goal with no attempt at the ball should be automatic yellow.
 
Current ridiculous handball rule for goals has got to be scrapped asap.

Players diving should be given lengthy bans - only way to eradicate this feigning bullshit
