I'd remove kicking, goals can only be scored with telekinesis
Moving the goals in football

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
The opening poster doesn't go far enough.
The ball should never be dead unless it literally leaves the stadium.
This would really give new meaning to home advantage. Your fans throwing it back on to your team, or even just keeping it when you're winning.
The clock never stops either, so imagine the spectacle of a player having to battle someone in the crowd for the ball.
Marvellous.

Eric Dier likes this.
It is, for kids anyway. When I played at school in PE and for local kids football clubs in training it was always ‘keep the ball below head height’. If it was higher then the other team would get a free kick.
I think maybe bring in the Mario Kart element into the match, opposition managers/staff can throw a random banana skin or a mini bomb onto the pitch to put players off.
Never had a pager, I went straight from a Walkman to iPhoneSorry, I didn’t give it enough thought, this would be a great idea, could see Diers value sky rocketing if this was brought in
what's stopping football from turning into quidditch. we already have jet packs
Before I read the OP, I thought it was going to be about goalposts that constantly move from side to side, like the hoop on those basketball games in the arcade.
Teams should be allowed two keepers, but they're only allowed to use opposing legs and arms.
How about managers or coaches also get a whistle and can blow for fouls or VAR check 3 times a match. This would save relying on the referee getting the right call all the time. If they blow for a foul and VAR shows it’s not they lose a challenge
not too much to change to introduce this, just two whistles.

The game went too far in its demonizing of defense, for that reason I propose the authorization of hunting traps, snares, bear traps and trapping pits.
For legs, Hard choice whether to go with DeGea for his shot stopping abilities with his feet or someone with a better distribution.
Not a bad idea
Trial it in the euros before it hits the leagues though
Fans are constantly moving the goalpost for our manager and players. It is only right to move the actual goals too.
I don't agree with the OP. But I do think think the size of a goal should be increased. Its dimensions were set in the 1800s when everybody was much shorter, meaning the length and height of the goal frame isn't fit for purpose in 2020.
The fact that the average game has 2.7 goals means that the sport is too susceptible to being decided by single moments rather than 90 minutes of good play. I don't want Football to go so far that it turns into Basketball, but a balance should be struck. A bigger goal frame which allows for an average of about 5 goals per game would be good.
If you increase the height of the goal by 1 foot and the width by 1 foot on each side, then football would still be football. But it would make it slightly easier to score and slightly harder to keep goal.

Genuinely good idea. What about pitch size in relation to the goals too, fitter athletes these days cover the ground too easy, harder to defend a bigger pitch
The managers should have to take the first penalty in a penalty shoot out. Effective leaders shouldn't be afraid of getting down to the dirty and working on the level of their workers.
Bigger pitches would definitely have a similar effect. But I don't think it's feasible. There are thousands of pitches around the world so the sheer cost of changing the size of the playing area and/or buying extra land around stadiums and/or tearing down the stands would be huge (and probably impossible). It might be an interesting experiment to see at a purpose built stadium, though.
But changing the length of the woodwork would be relatively cheap and easy. It could also potentially open up the US market because of increased interest from higher scorelines.
Total oversight on my part there. I’d be happy to stick with changing the goal size as an experiment
I wonder why goalposts have always been white and no team has done a neon green or orange, Maybe written into the rules
That would be amazing, maybe the opposing manager would have to be keeper for the manager taking the pen to make it a bit more fair.
some great ideas in this thread that I’d never thought of. The erraticly moving goal posts that could possibly rise for people in the upper tier still my favourite although I think we’re a few decades from that
Have the managers fight it off in the center instead of penalties, if the game is tied. Could even make it a tag team match with the assistants allowed to be tagged in. Melee weapons allowed ofcourse. Would give so much more importance to having tough managers and instantly make Gattuso a must have manager for every team.
Goal posts should be given rollers.
And sponsorship.
Plastered those sponsorship at the top and side posts.
And make it bigger.

Good idea.
Goal posts should be given different colors.This is to help players see it better especially during nightimes, and to make stadium and on screen tv more appealing. Will boost ratings and get more money.
I can see this happening, seriously. I'm surprised they haven't done so already. The wickets have sponsors on in cricket so why not slap a bovril sticker on the crossbar
Short keepers will not be happy
Survival Ball...now we're talking. The game finally bends to Roy Keane's will.
"There's no excuse. He's got to use the crossbow there. By surviving, he's let his team mates down badly."
Utd would get battered if there was every fist fight in the match. Other then Maguire and Lindelof.
I’m surprised football hasn’t got a few more adverts placed around like rugby does. The on field painted sponsor angled for the cameras or just behind the byline.
Quite funny in rugby too after they’ve rucked through an advert and get up like they’ve got war paint on, surprised it was allowed
Haha, funniest thread i’ve seen in ages. Plenty of good and/or tongue-in-cheek suggestions
Also, the whole game should be played on ice.
Time for Bambi to shine.
I'd half the size of the goals and allow teams to have 3 goalkeepers.
With most games ending 0-0. There'd be less controversy surrounding poor decision making and no need for VAR.

I would love there to be power ups like in a pinball machine. If you hit the ref with the ball a second ball in introduced into the game for 30 seconds.
To introduce some kind of excitement to the game we could also just make the ball explode randomly.

Well the way VAR is going with it's fancy dimensions football will be played in a glass box, with no corners and throw ins.
We should do Football Battle Royale. Every ten minutes the pitch gets smaller; any player who commits a foul or gets caught outside when the pitch size is reduced is removed.
Welbeck?
This!
Make it explode. Better tv ratings, adds thrills to fans and added new tactical innovations to the game. Football evolution. The future is now.
The 2nd ball rule,
I guess players would start kicking the balls intentionally to the ref. That rule need adjustment.
I think we should make a randomizer pitch setting for every game.
Today your pitch will be...
Ice?
Wet?
Muddy?
Dirty?
Clay?
Cement?
etc
