    Does the game of soccer need rule changes to spice it up. E.G. extra men, less men. Rugby rules are constantly changing and tweaking to make it more attractive to watch .

    I think football is doing ok enough that it doesn't need to be made "more attractive to watch".

    The amount of rugby comparisons and suggestions since the forum became open to all is ridiculous.
    It's not rugby, it's not supposed to be like rugby. Keep watching rugby and post about rugby if you don't like football.

    What do you suggest? If I was a rugby fan it would drive me mad having the rules constantly being tinkered with.

    No. The constant tweaking in Rugby to make it more "exciting" and "attractive" is indicative of fundamental flaws in that sport. Football is grand.

    I'm using rugby as an example of a union that changes rules for to evolve the game into perhaps a better model, to keeps the scoreboard ticking over, im sure other sports do the same? I can't think of any others. I'm not comparing games.

    Listen petal, if you are the type of goy who gets bored by low scoring games, football just isn't for you.

    Stick to the scrummaging.

    Penos as ye lads call it are about the best part, if you can stay awake to watch them. Maybe play penalties first ?

    You'll need to expand on this. Is it a ball each or just 2 balls?

    2 balls at kick of, 1 ball to each team at centre spot to be kicked back to to your own team, then it's off.

    It makes it better a lot of the time tbh. I play Rugby and theres always areas that can be improved upon.

    Football rules are changed fairly regularly too. How many people on this forum alone called for video technology?

    Yeah but after that. Can 1 team have both balls and potentially score 2 goals at a time or does each team have a ball so you are attacking and defending at the same time?

    In a knockout like tonights game that'd actually be quite interesting!! :D

    The team that lost the shootout at the start would have to really go for it rather than play out time to take a lottery on the penalties.

    How about not making dumb threads in a forum about a sport you don't even like?

    Do away with extra time, very rarely does it offer anything, except tired players.
