I know the point here is about changing the on pitch rules of the game. I wish they would leave them alone, every season something more ridiculous is introduced, only to be scrapped the next season. The cynic inside me thinks this is just to give Carra and Nevs something to talk about after a 0-0 draw.
Where football should actually change is off the pitch. FFP is b0ll0x and may as well be done away with.
A draft system like NFL would be interesting. But most of all agents, stupid transfer fees and ridiculous wages need to be dealt with somehow but the gutless FA will not do anything. As for the Premier League - they are quite literally representative of everything that is wrong with modern football. But I guess that may take away from big Jim's yellow tie on transfer deadline day (why do we need a deadline? Just to create hype).

looks like average game is only about 55 Minutes ,So my new law would another 25 minutes of the football we pay to watch

Some interesting ideas. However, I believe the rules of the game should remain as simple as possible.

The more rules for technical infringements that are added the more complex it becomes, and the harder it would be for referees to keep tabs on all that is happening. It could also mean more stoppages. One of the great attractions of football is that it is fairly easy for the uninitiated to familiarise themelves with the rules of the game. The offside rule probably still provides the biggest challenge.

God forbid football should ever become like rugby union. a sport whose rules I still find largely impenetrable.

Do you mean that the starting 11 should include the stated minima? If so, care would be needed over the make-up of the bench. Otherwise clubs could make politically incorrect substitutions eg pull off the homosexual man (so to speak) the lesbian and the Asian disabled person and replace them with 3 Anglo-Saxon males.

On the other hand, if substitutions must be 'like-for-like' then squad sizes will need to be much larger than at present.

1. Take time keeping out of the referees responsibility and have a clock like in rugby so everyone knows how long to go, and stop the clock when substitutions are being made so we don’t have this ridiculous process where players are substituted with 30 seconds to go.
2. When a player takes a penalty they should have one go at it like in penalty shootouts, that way it would get rid of the problem of encroachment.
3. When a player is holding someone’s shirt when a corner is being taken it has to be a penalty. Why doesn’t VAR pick up on that?
