Rules that should be brought in

Whenan attacking player is cynically brought down outside the box to stop him going one on one with the keeper or even taking on another defender imo should be a penalty kick like a penalty try in rugby.

Joke that a lad can bring a lad down and all he gets is a yellow or red if last man.  Not enough of a deterrent to stop cynical goal scoring opportunities. 

A red card is probably seen as suffice punishment 

Commentators applauding the cheater for "taking a yellow for the team" is also nauseating.

My changes:

1. Time wasting by goalkeepers at goal-kicks should be penalised by the refs. A drop-ball, 25 yards from goal, would be a good punishment.

2. Players running to the corner-flag, in order to waste time, should also be punished. An indirect free should be given against the time wasters for "refusal to play". 

A stop clock like NFL.  When a goal is scored stop the clock and allow the team 60 seconds to celebrate.  The opposition can kick off once the 60 seconds is up regardless of where the opposition players are on the pitch.

Also stop the clock for injuries and time wasting.  Its not transparent enough the ref/assistant ref deciding how much added time there should be and is open to abuse.  The ref should be miked up tot he PA system and saying when the clock as been stopped/started.

A buzzer at full time as well and the crowd can see the stop clock counting down so there is no dodgy shenanigans or Fergie Time.

I'm not sure why they introduced this, but it's just another unnecessary stoppage in play.

An example of how stupid it can be happened during the current Women's World Cup. 

China had shot from outside the box against England, but it hit the ref. It deflected towards another Chinese player, but play was halted anyway.

The ref then hummed and hawed about whether to drop the ball to a Chinese player, but eventually decided against that. She then dropped the ball to the England goalkeeper. This was from a shot outside the box!

It would have made perfect sense to just let the game continue, just like it used to.

And the one with the Goalkeepers - They already are required to get rid of the ball after 6 seconds. However this rule is never enforced. I guess referees don't penalise the keepers for a few reasons. 

1 - Six seconds is usually not long enough for players to clear the box and get up-field.

2 - An Indirect Free inside the box is a very severe punishment for such a minor offence.

I think a drop ball (25-30 yards out) would be a fairer way to deal with it.

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.
