Reinventing Football

allow players to celebrate goals in a more excessive manner (e.g. taking shirt off)

5 minute sin bin (for diving)

Stop the clock when the ball goes out

automatic penalty for diving or simulating

Make the goals bigger

Let the referee make handball decisions how they used to - on instinct.

Let players take quick free-kicks to themselves

VAR offsides: Lose the microscopic tech

Penalties: Make the punishment fit the crime If it's a foul with no clear attacking impact, why not a free-kick?

red card (and a game ban) for simulation

Penalties: One and done - no more rebounds

VAR: Bring in a challenge system

goals outside the box count double (during last 10 minutes)

Bring in bonus points (if your score 2 or more goals) - and punish 0-0 draws

limit time to take free kicks or corners

Introduce tactical timeouts
