Return ‘Champions’ league to the actual champions.
Wenger proposed the kick in rule, the argument against it was that it would slow the game down as teams would treat anything from 60 yards out as a chance to load the box.
The one idea Wenger had that i liked was that you should be able to take a free kick to yourself.
I would hammer players that dive. Automatic 3 game ban at least.Deliberate diving automatic ban
Trying to get fellow professional sent off automatic ban.

Morelos wasn't offside. Crossed wires here - I'm not talking about players not interfering with play being given offside. I'm talking about instances where a player is for example running up the wing to catch the ball when he is clearly offside, but the linesman waits and waits until he touches the ball and take it into the penalty area.We wouldn’t have got our penalty last week.
Think his biggest gripe was that he viewed a throw in as a disadvantage as you're effectively a man downWenger proposed the kick in rule, the argument against it was that it would slow the game down as teams would treat anything from 60 yards out as a chance to load the box.

We do it ourselves mate, it’s a part of the game that teams use to their advantage & I have no issue with it.Get a bit tougher on time wasting, goal kicks etc. Some games against us when teams get an early goal, park the bus and time waste from the 18th minute, boils my blood.

I know what you’re saying about McGregor but it’s only part of the game because it’s been allowed to become so.We do it ourselves mate, it’s a part of the game that teams use to their advantage & I have no issue with it.
McGregor is brilliant at it.
I don’t really see them as cheating, see them as more ‘dark arts’ type stuff that has been rife in the game for as long as time began.I know what you’re saying about McGregor but it’s only part of the game because it’s been allowed to become so.
It’s cheating.
In the same was as feigning injury or even giving away a “good” foul.
Fair point. I know what you mean, but I reckon the times it's used against us far outweighs the times we utilise it for me. Seeing out the final few minutes of a game is different from time wasting early in the first half, which we've witnessed alot of lately domestically.We do it ourselves mate, it’s a part of the game that teams use to their advantage & I have no issue with it.

Yeah fair enough, the only time it’s annoyed me was Boxing Day 2019 when we played Killie.Fair point.

The bigger goals, actually, bigger pitches with scaled up inner dimensions is not so stupid.Bigger goals or only allow wee fat lads to be the goalie.
Wouldn’t want to play you at poker!I don’t really see them as cheating, see them as more ‘dark arts’ type stuff that has been rife in the game for as long as time began.
I’d expect our players to do the same, they have done numerous times & it’s a part of the game we are good at under Gerrard.
I personally don’t have a problem with us time wasting, smart fouls (Jack against YB springs to mind) & our players perhaps lying down longer than necessary (Alfie does this a lot).
It’s all part of the game & there are reasons for it.
I understand your point about cheating, but I like that side of the game to be perfectly honest.
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve been to St Mirren’s stadium an awful lot & I swear the pitch is tiny in comparison to Ibrox.The bigger goals, actually, bigger pitches with scaled up inner dimensions is not so stupid.
Football was designed whe five foot four wasn’t all that small, five-eight was average and five-ten was tall.
The sixty metres world record has been reduce by at least ten percent and every endurance record we ever had has been bettered by way more than that.
It could easily be argued that playing areas are increased by ten percent.
OR
We go ten-a-side!
Ten seconds, fifteen tops.Yeah fair enough, the only time it’s annoyed me was Boxing Day 2019 when we played Killie.
Normally I don’t mind the dark arts type stuff, the same way I don’t mind teams playing 5-5-0 against us.
They are clearly inferior so need to do all they can to get the points, the same as we would do under Walter in Europe.
I do agree refs should start being stricter on it at goal kicks though, there is absolutely no need for it then & it’s so blatant.
Eh how many Scots start for us?Bring back the three foreigner rule . With it now we could win the Europa league
The rule was British players not just Scottish was it not?Eh how many Scots start for us?
Why?1/2 point for 0-0
You would just get a papal delegation brought over from Italy to help them.No refs of Tim persuasion to ref either their or our games.
If that means foreign refs brought in, then so be it. I’m sick of the “incompetence” of officials up here.
