I thought they'd done away with IFK's in the main - apart from the backpass being picked up.Refs need to use the rules that apply for indirect free kicks instead of pretending they don’t exist.
Stuff like that makes every sport hilarious. Aren't there some motorsport variants where the drivers have to run to their cars/bikes first? Comedy gold.Kick offs should start in a similar way.

Also, no refs on the pitch, instead we’ll have Cantona throwing the ball in through a hole in the glass cage.Kick offs should start in a similar way. The ball is on the centre circle and each team is stood on their own goal line. The ref blows up and CHARGE!
Finally! I’ve always wondered why no one ever used that type of a finish. It actually leaves keeper no chance - the ball is protected by your body until it’s too high. The only downside is that you can easily feck it up yourself.Could you imagine something like this from Joao Felix?

They actually did something similar in the XFL, the American Football league that was owned and operated by WWE. Instead of coin flips for who gets the ball first, each team competes in a "scramble" where the ball is placed roughly 20 yards forward and, at the whistle, one player from each teams tries to get to the ball first while being allowed to crash into one another while diving for the ball. I think they at first wanted to make it so that players start at opposing ends but realized that would have caused a lot of injuries and decided to start on the same side of the field insteadKick offs should start in a similar way.

Yeah, that's where I stole the idea from.They actually did something similar in the XFL, the American Football league that was owned and operated by WWE.

Unless you have Jesus in your side.That's basically how it works in water polo. They swim for the ball instead of running, obviously.
How about this:
The ball is still placed on the penalty spot and the goalie has to stay on their line until the ball is kicked. Every other player has to stand on the halfway line. The ref blows his whistle and everyone can runs toward the stationary ball. If a defending player gets to the ball first he can clear it, if an attacking player gets there first they can shoot.

It was trialed in the 90s as an alternative to penalty shootouts. Most boring shootout I ever watched. The odds do get better for the goalie, mind, only 3 scored, 4 barely looked liked pros and 1 idiot ran out of time faffing about.Love this idea @NoPace
What about a 1-on-1 with the keeper? Where both the player and gk start some distance away. Not all that dissimilar from hockey
Aye, we found a few videos of them above. They're different that's for sure. Since the goalies seem to save more, maybe this is the type of option for a softer, "yellow card" pen as suggested in the op?It was trialed in the 90s as an alternative to penalty shootouts.

Nah, they were a bad alternative to shootouts and using them in-game would be bizarre with everyone else having to hang around at the halfway line and watch. I'm all for @duffer 's charge as a better alternative.Aye, we found a few videos of them above. They're different that's for sure.

If they are having every version of handball (intentional/unintentional) be a foul in the box, have intentional ones or ones that are denying a goal be pens and others be indirect freekicks inside the boxJapanese women eliminated on at best a yellow card or half penalty. Maybe if they change the handball rules they can do without it, but right now it's ruining a ton of games.
And that's exactly why a proper tug of war doesn't work that way. I know what you mean though, have participated in that "run for the rope mode" but it's a setup more appropriate for Takeshi's Castle.
This reminds me of one if my favorite stories from my dad who participated with his school in a school against school tug of war (rope war? Rope pulling? Not sure of the right name) competition. For some reason the rules dictated that both teams had to start on different sides of a pitch with the rope lying on the ground in the middle. At a blow of a whistle both teams had to run to the rope, take their determined position and start pulling.
However, my dad's school had a guy who was so quick that he was able to reach the rope, grab it, turn around and run away with it (and win the match) before the other team could reach it. They won multiple rounds because of him and made it almost to the nationwide level before they faced a team with an equally quick guy who eliminated them because when it then came to pulling the team was actually quite weak.
Exactly. When you impede a players progress (most call it obstruction even though that's not a real term) it's supposed to be an indirect free kick. However, refs constantly give penalties if it happens inside the 18.Refs need to use the rules that apply for indirect free kicks instead of pretending they don’t exist.
They need to do this for lots of things, a red card is a red card in the first minute or the last minute, feck the spectacle apply the laws of the game.Refs need to use the rules that apply for indirect free kicks instead of pretending they don’t exist.
