yeah ...
- basketball was fine without the three point line and when dunks were banned.
- Who needs a 2-point conversion in the NFL ?
- College football was just pure awesomeness before the BCS and now playoff ... just go back to the traditional bowls. That went well.
- Who needs instant replay? It's better when calls are blatantly incorrect and stand as-is.
- Hockey was awesome when the games just tied all the time with no effort to get a winner.
I don't think one needs to blow up the game of soccer ... but, should always be open to new things that might... just might ... improve the game here and there.

I would be fine if all of these sports went back to these old rules. I don't have a problem with ties over the course of the season, the old bowls, no dunks or threes, etc.

Because there are some glaring flaws in the rules and jurisdiction of the game.

False. There are some small issues such as yellow card carrying over but this is not rules changes you or op is talking about. Those rules hardly need huge change

That one is the worst but divers need to be punished more accordingly and red cards/PKs need to be tweaked. All fouls in the box do not need to be penalty kicks.

Some people have complained that there is too much subjectivity in officiating the game. Wouldn't this make the officiating more subjective?
Also, I don't get the hate for how it is. People complain that there isn't enough scoring in soccer (I'm not saying you said this, Randy), but then they complain when the game is decided on a penalty kick, which involves a higher chance of scoring than otherwise.
I don't have a problem with Robben embellishing either. Acting too tough in the game might cause the ref to not call fouls when they should be called. The ref can't see everything. Besides, a defender has to be smart in those situations.

quote:Main reason is because there are so few concrete, objective rules - Most are left to the discretion of the referee, which brings in human error. There's no way around fouls and penalties; those exist to some degree in every sport.
Why do so many people think they have the "rule change" that will fix soccer?
But I think "stoppage time" could be done away with. Have a 45:00 clock, stop the clock whenever there is a stoppage of play, and restart it whenever play resumes. Simple fix, and one less area for a referee to possibly insert his bias.
Also, the offside rule. It is obviously a necessary rule. But I think relying solely on the assistant referee's judgment in this era of replay technology is unnecessary. Without slowing down the game, someone could review all offside decisions and either uphold/overturn them. Unfortunately, too many goals are unfairly given or disallowed, which leads to huge frustration among fans, particularly new ones.

The punishments are just far too harsh and almost never fit the crime.

This could never happen with video replay. It would have to be something similar to the current goalline technology. Something would have to let the ref know within a 2-3 seconds.

there are so few rules..

When overturning an offside call, how do you restart the ball? Once it's whistled offside then the attacking team has lost all momentum. If you let it continue then stop the play, you've wasted time that the clock operator should have stopped for in your scenario.

example?
Kick opponent
Trip
Jump at
Charge
Strike or attempt to strike
Push
Holding
Spitting
Handling the ball deliberately
Then the ref needs to determine if that particular offense was carless, wreckless, or excessive....
