Rules that should be brought in

If you go down too easily from the slightest challenge and diving the referee should brandish 'The Pussy Card' where you get publicly shamed for being a total pussy and you have to sit in a sin bin for 10 mins and the crowd make tiger claw signs with their hands and arms and shout 'meow' in abuse as the player walks off escorted  by two officials wearing cat costumes.

It will cut out time wasting which inevitably will reduce the added time. IMO if they get to the stage where every second of time wasted is added on they should make the game 80mins. 40 a half. You're going to end up over 90mins anyway with the added time. This will not happen. People don't just time waste to use up the clock, they also do it to stop momentum and that will still happen no matter how much time gets added on.  This is one of the problems that I can't see a solution to. Players, often the goalkeeper, going down "injured" purely as a means to stop the momentum or pressure from an opponent. The stop / start nature completely effects the flow of a game. I think there were 16 minutes of injury time added to the Germany v South Korea match the other day.  Even with such ridiculous amounts of injury time, can it really make up for the disruption caused by this tactic?

I agree, keepers feigning injury is generally after their team have been under pressure, and goes down to give his team a breather, regain their shape and stall the opponents momentum. One thing I would like to see is where goalkeepers dilly dally taking goal kicks, free outs etc that the ref awards his opponents a corner kick..

How about the ref uses his yellow card like he has the power to do. That's already covered.

Yellow card is pointless unless a ref follows up with a red, and keepers know a ref won't do that. A lot more jeopardy for a team defending a lead if opponents get a corner each time a keeper deliberately wastes time.

Refs should have discretion to give direct free if no goal-scoring threat. Would stop a lot of diving, lengthy var checks etc.

No point changing that rule now too, its a big part of the game. 97 penalties from 380 games awarded last season in the PL. That's just it though, not every tackle should be a foul. It's gone now to the stage where if you even touch a player its a peno. Honestly the game has gone to the dogs.

Can't argue with that. I just don't think that completely changing the rules is a solution.

Defenders being forced to defend with their hands behind their backs is ridiculous.
