Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 For me it's the booking for taking your shirt off. Utterly ridiculous. There are a few other contenders though, booking for running to the crowd, players having to go off for treatment even if they're perfectly fine etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 That offside phases bollocks is pretty fucking stupid. Either you gain an advantage or you don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Another rule I'd like to get rid of is the one where Alan Smith gets a yellow card just for playing football. Every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 That, and celebarting with the fans, i mean if i score a really important goal they'd be lucky if i don't take my pants off and wave my dick at the other teams fans, perhaps a yellow card for that but not for fucking taking my shirt off.

Yeah, and it's ruined a good joke about people not understanding a simple off-side rule too. If anyone advanced beyond the last defender when the ball is played, offside.

Flip Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Taking the shirt off should only be a yellow if its completely taken off. Like Balotelli did doesn¨t deserve a yellow in my opinion. Problem is that if you take of your shirt might happen that you put it on wrong and delay the game and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Balotelli could have get confused/trapped even trying to pull back his shirt on just then in fairness. The video of him struggling with a bib was brilliant.

Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The six seconds for a goalkeeper to hold the ball is a daft one as well. Must have been enforced about twice, ever. Does some twat really sit there and count? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they delay the kickoff, book them then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not a rule as such but more of a clampdown on where someone commits a foul, play is allowed to go on and the referee forgets to book the player when play stops. Also I'd like to see a bigger clamp down on diving, we still see a case of where players dive and the referee waves them to get up but doesn't book them. I have to agree though that the celebration of taking your shirt off shouldn't be a red card offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Tottenham game at SJP the guy infront of me was counting it every time Friedel had the ball and then he screams "thats more than 6 seconds you fucking cunt, get it out!" or something to that effect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattynufc Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Stoppage time should be the same as in rugby, as in when a player is down injured, that time is stopped - not just 1 minute added on no matter how long they are down. Annoys me a little. Shirt rule is definitely the silliest though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'd get rid of the 'no away penalties at Old Trafford' rule. Its silly. Blatant advantage to Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good rule, nowt worse when teams are beating you or getting a valuable point and they start taking forever, especially if it's a team who start doing it as early as they can into the game.

Farcical really. I think it's actually to do with sponsors not being happy about their ads getting less exposure at the point where they're supposed to get the most exposure.

When was the last time you saw the rule enforced though? Is it not meant to be an indirect freekick? Keepers get booked for timewasting all the time on goal kicks, pretty sure Krul has had a few.

I can only ever remember seeing it enforced once and that was for us, can't remember which game it was but Shearer dispatched the free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
