What would have to change to stop just being annoyed when watching a football match?
1) The tiny rule changes : there is an alternative penalty to the penalty for minor offences inside the penalty area.
2) Equal treatment of strikers and defenders.
3) Offside is one of the over-critical decisions. Here we really should implement the USA’s idea for the 1994 World Cup: in case of doubt FOR the attacker, in case of doubt leave the flag down
