Playing God with Football

[DB10GOONER]

Robbie Savage to be castrated with bricks.

You would literally have to smash his forehead in to do that. Literally.

[enjibenji]

no international football during the season

[Arsenal Till I Die]

League Cup -

Omit the likes of Arsenal, United, Chelsea, City etc from the cup and leave it for FL teams and lower Prem teams. It gives them a better and fairer chance of winning and also doesn't clogg up the top teams fixture list.

The Champions League -

I cannot stand the group stage format, it is so boring and unnecessary. An unseeded knockout set up from round one like the Cup would add some real magic to the competition. The real David v Goliath feel, the possibility that BATE Borisov could knock out Barcelona and not just take three bloody points would be worth watching.

I also agree that no team should "drop into" the Europa league, such a piss take of what could be a great competition.

[Henry Norris 1913]

cup winners cup would be brilliant. such a shame it died (97?)

a mandatory ticket price limit at £50 for adults, £15 for kids
a standing area at every ground
beer sold at every ground
no booking tickets, just pay on the day.
league cup to have an age limit of 23, and mandatory 5 british or irish players on the field at any one time
all fa cup games to be 3 o'clock, no wembley semis
derbies on boxing day and easter monday

I would ban players from putting their various religions on display pre-match, kick off, half time, substitutions, goal scoring etc. They should do their "rituals" in the privacy of the dressing room or tunnel area. I don't think that we should be subjected to them.
Also, they should ban "tourist" fans watching the game through the prism of their I-Pads/Phones etc. JUST WATCH THE FUCKING GAME!!!

Agree with this. The sight of that attention seeking Hernandez kneeling down in the centre circle really got on my tits. And while we're at it an we ban players from doing that stupid pointy up to the sky and look up shit they all seem to do these days. Fuck sake the false fuckers are even doing it when they come on as sub for 5 mins never mind as a goal celebration ffs!

Yes and as mentioned earlier, more video technology please. Id rather get decisions right than wrong

Can you explain the logic of this?

Champions League

Returns to being for champions only. No boring group stage. Straight knockout without any seeding

UEFA Cup

Same format as above for all qualifying teams. Domestic cup winners and 2nd and 3rd place teams only. The fact that so many good teams wouldn't be in the CL, would restore its status as a credible competition

FA Cup

Semi finals to be played at Cardiff

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Forgot to add, FA Cup semi's should be played at neutral venues. Pointless playing them at Wembley as it ruins the magic of playing at a Wembley final.

Also, a total abolishing of international friendlies as a whole and internstiinal fixtures of any sort during the season is a must.

[Bradywasking]

Ban half & half scarves and the c**ts that wear them !!!! It aint fucking rugby...

[augie]

I would also ban all this "I wont celebrate scoring a goal against my old team" bollox - I would tell the player that "you no longer play for that team so your responsibilities are to your new club and the fans of that club because they are the one's that are paying your fcuking wages If your old club wanted to keep you then you would still be playing for them unless it was you that pushed to leave them, and if that is the case then how can you patronise them out of some false loyalty bullshit ? "
All these players should be made celebrate in front of their old fans

get rid of FIFA, UEFA, the PL and the sale of TV rights. The Board of the FA to be managed by 13 individuals nominated by the 92 League clubs, term limit of 2 years.

only midweek games can be shown live. only local derbies can kick off at 11am.

international football only to be played by amateurs, no professionals allowed. all games played from June to August.

safe standing areas for u-18's, with free tickets on the day at the gate for them.

CL back to champions only, ECWC for Cup winners and UEFA for runners up/3rd only.

season tickets to be barcode tattoo'd on STH's necks to prevent touting. a home scanner would allow transfer to the TX at cost.
