If you were King or Queen for the day, what changes would you make to football?! 🤔

[@abdallawarsame5561]

"If a player insults a referee, send them outside for 10 minutes to cool down. Go cycling to warm up before coming back in. We can learn from handball in that respect," Ittrich says (German FIFA referee) . 😂😂😂

[@haimainjauo242]

What the hell is this pointless royalist egotistical Henry-worshipping segment? Seriously asking that was so unnecessary

[@tomnico2003]

No subs at additional time or after 85mins.

[@VillelaHN]

I do like the rule about referees giving a press conference after a game.

[@fh1431]

Two changes I would make; 1)Only your feet can be offside. Your body has to balance itself when you are running, you shouldn't be punished for a sleeve being offside. 2) The player who earns the penalty scores it. If it's a handball, the player who crosses it takes the penalty. This would stop stat-padding, add more excitement to the game, and give the keepers a better chance of saving penalties. Penalties are awarded too cheaply sometimes for unlucky moments like handballs. This shouldn't mean that the other team gets an 80% free goal, they didn't earn it.

[@zeytelaloi]

I'm wondering though about the 1 point per 3+ goal. Could there be an incentive for a team, that is going to win anyway, to purposefully allow their opposing team to score 3 goals just so they can get an additional point and perhaps affect the league standing in some way. For example, if by giving the losing team 1 additional point they knock out some other rivaling team, or prevent them from falling out of the league. I wonder if there could be this kind of unexpected side effect.

[@lourencothomaz981]

As a rugby fan, I'll say that the bonus point and the refferee using a mic have only brought positives to that sport, and football should definitely follow. Specially the refferees and VAR's using mics, as that is a pivotal part of the VAR in rugby that didn't carry over to footballs version, resulting in VAR in football being more of controversy maker than a controversy solver

[@Etikal]

Bonus points would be a disaster, are you stupid?

The problem with the additional points is it would just give rich teams even more points at the top of the league, because they score loads of goals most weeks anyway. It would widen the gap even further. Also, when it comes to the PL, it's already an attacking league anyway, teams generally don't need extra motivation to attack even more.

[@Nippleless_Cage]

Smaller clubs have lopsided games too. For example, Everton 5-1 Brighton.

[@achillesglacia7700]

Just admit it, it's good idea, no downside to it. It should be enhanced by also adding 1 point for any team with a cleansheet.

Which game? If it's the Fulham 5-3 then they deserved fuck all.

I think a point for scoring 3+ goals should only be for a draw of defeat. A 3-3 draw gives both teams 2 points. A 4-3 win gives the winner 3 points and the loser 1 point. It means that teams losing 5-2 would push for a last minute 3rd goal rather than both teams just going flat. The trouble with giving the extra point to the winning team is that big teams will get so many extra points on top of all the wins that the gap between them and the rest will grow.

[@michael43567]

It's a bad idea. It overcomplicates points, could cause match fixing & completely disincentivises defending

At least in this regard, you'd have more respect for your captain and the Sir/Ma'am that's officiating the match. I liked hearing someone like Henry bringing in ideas from other sports. They already have VAR, but TMO in rugby i believe solves more issues (most of the time. You might have 1 or 2 that you can't decipher) and is "more" transparent, were as in Association Football it is less transparent and asks more questions than it answers.

[@the_loveable_fat_man9948]

Some of these are great suggestions. The ref’s should 100% have to speak with the press because they can give a goal away just as easily as any player. I also think the temporary sub for a head injury or any potential life threatening injury would be a great idea. I think safety should be the main priority of the game for players, coaches, fans and anyone involved with the game, and i dont think we cannot truly say this is happening when there will be the pressure put on from management, coaches and other players since they are down to 10 men…. When i say this i specifically am even thinking of the time mourinioh criticised the female physio at Chelsea and caused a whole issue.

1. Stop the match clock when the ball goes out of play, not free kick. (You'll also need to make games 60 mins long, since that's roughly how long the ball is actually in play during 90 min matches). 2. Gonna wreak havoc with statistical analysis, but I weirdly like it. Would transform the sport to become more attacking.

[@drowzeehypno9154]

Carragher brought up what they should do with players faking head injuries. I personally think that if a player is caught intentionally faking a head injury, he should be given a yellow card. Some situations will be harder to judge if they are intentional, but that goes for many rules in football

[@Adam-cm2bw]

I think Henry has been watching rugby lately with a few of these rules..
