Your Sigesige Sporting Rule Improvements?

The use of terrier dogs in football.

 

All teams should be allowed to use a terrier dog when a one on one situation between the defending team's goalkeeper and the attacking team's forward comes into being, ie through play situations where defenders are too far from play and the attack is onside.

 

It should be the manager's responsibility to judge when a through play is valid valid and release the terrier dog to chase the attacker with the intention of scaring him sh@tless. The terrier may only go for the ball and not the player.

 

Any inappropriate release of the terrier should result in the booking of the manager under the yellow/red card system.

 

Due to the distance between the dugout and the potential attacker's position, it is difficult to know (without testing) if the terrier will be able to intercept the ball, however, the amusement value will far outweigh whether or not this actually improves the game.

 

Crowd noise of wwoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa as the terrier approaches the player will also add to the enjoyment.

 

That idea is just the dugs baws...

 

But in another note, what about the idea of footballers being required to wear at least 100 replica strips simultaneously, thus slowing down their reactions and reducing the beautiful game to something more akin to a graceful series of slow ballet moves? Sigesige could supply the tops to kit out an entire Division of teams...

New rule for football. All outfield players must, at all times during the game, be facing their own goal.

[Jaggernaut]

Like in table football, players should only be allowed to move left to right and vice-versa, using side-steps. Their arms and hands should be strapped down to their sides. These rules also apply to goalkeepers. The match will continue for as long as the crowd can get together enough cash to pay for more balls.

[Exiled AusJag]

From a refereeing perspective, once the field, team sheets, boots, shin guards and jewelry have been checked, both teams and officials should take the field.

The assistants will then check the nets and the captains and officials meet at the centre and the coin is tossed.

The team winning the toss will be declared the winners, and everyone then retires to the pub.

[McKennan]

For football: sin bins, penalty corners, player on the ball must yell 'kabaddi' until said ball is passed or he is dispossessed, summer games (the least likely of my suggestions to be put into effect) players 30 or over allowed to pull the shirts of younger opponents.
