Kick-ins (along the ground) would be great.
Throw ins are stupid.

That, and any team leading late is going to abuse it to disrupt the flow of the game.How is unlimited subs a good idea? Basically any team with a great squad immediately has an even bigger advantage than they already had.
30 minute timed halves is the stuff of dreams. That's 5 minutes more than average and 10 minutes more than your average shit house Burnley team.Not sure what to think about it. I don't recognize football anymore

30 minutes a half.
The game clock stops when the ball goes out of play.
Unlimited subs.
Throw-ins played with feet.
5 minute suspension for a yellow card.
The pauses we have would remain obviously, but with less pressure to continue play immediately as you'd remove the danger of being booked for wasting time. This would evolve into longer pauses, like water breaks, time-outs etc., as the first step would be to normalize the idea of the clock being stopped. That's the prerequisite, because without that you can't have opportunities to insert adverts during a game unless you're willing to miss play. If the stopped clock becomes normal, next up will be something else that takes advantage of that, like a team time-out and that's when ads kick in. I think the main thing is to introduce a change that ushers in the stopped clock, and things will develop from there. It's what other sports have, it's not like I'm making it up.What pauses would occur under a stopped clock system that wouldn't occur under the current system?
I can see how the stopped clock would reduce stoppages, as you could no longer waste time by feigning injury. But I can't for the life of me see how it would create "constant pauses" that don't already exist.
5 subs a gameHate the idea of unlimited subs
Of course there is, the ball spends 50-55 minutes in play currently and that's when 2 top teams play.5 subs a game
45 minutes stop time or 40 minutes minimum stop time no need for less.
Still prefer throw in's but could make things interesting
Re the yellow cards, only works if ref gets it 100% correct
No, you misunderstand. 45 minutes stop time will mean 45 minutes of football. As per what it should be.Of course there is, the ball spends 50-55 minutes in play currently and that's when 2 top teams play.
First, third and last are nonsense.Not sure what to think about it. I don't recognize football anymore

That’s the one I’ll definitely support. Most throw ins end up with he opposition team to an extent that it doesn’t seem to matter much who gets it at some point.Think the stopping the clock and 30 min halves are not bad ideas at all, though perhaps go down to 40 minutes first.
Not sure I get the point of changing throw-ins?
Unlimited subs is a terrible idea and will make the gap between the top teams and those below them even bigger. Absolutely ridiculous.
5 minute suspension for a yellow seems too big of a jump but I do think there should be something like this for cynical fouls where there is literally no intention whatsoever to play football.
I understand but having hte ball in play for 80 minutes would be asking the players to put in and extra half hour approx to what they do now. The average 90 minute match has the ball in play for 50-55 minutes so having the ball in play for 45 minute per half would mean the average match (with similar stoppages) would take nearly 3 hours real time.No, you misunderstand. 45 minutes stop time will mean 45 minutes of football. As per what it should be.
That's why no need to reduce it. or at worst 40 minutes stop time.
That will be satisfactory
“But should be 40 instead of 30”
Are you guys genuinely stupid?
Honestly liking all of the proposals. Hope they do it.Not sure what to think about it. I don't recognize football anymore

I remember reading somewhere that they only introduced the standard way of doing a throw-in because there used to be a player who was also a top bowler in cricket. The guy could arrow it over arm pretty much the length of the pitch.
Also unsurprising as the 2026 World Cup is to be held in that well know football (or should I say "soccer") mad location of the USA, Canada and Mexico - ok, Mexico I will accept! But the others, not so much...They're trying to Americanize the game, which should come as a surprise to no one as 3 of the biggest clubs in English football (United, Liverpool and Arsenal) happen to be owned by Americans. This wreaks of their influence.
