How about no one can sub in the last 5 minutes? That will really throw a cat amongst the pigeons. Personally I think subs should only be for injuries as was originally intended. But now you can put on nearly half a new team which kills the spirit of the game for me.

Interesting, eliminating all the forms of gamesmanship in the game is becoming a major problem, I'm sure ref stress levels have never been higher. Originally posted by Qwijibo

Am I alone in believing these shenanigans to be cheating in disguise? Football was far more honest when the bloke with a bucket of ice cold water and a sponge came on to revive an injured player. Players used to be back on their feet in no time.

Yet another change to the game that wasn't subject to even the slightest consultation with supporters. Add it to VAR, kick-off times, the extent of TV coverage, which channels or platforms get to have the football, how much they get to charge to see it, wildly selective support/ignorance of various social and political issues, the use of squad numbers, constant f***ing about with (and borderline-maniacal forensic approach to) the offside and handball rules, the blind acceptance of anyone with money (and some who just pretend to have it) to be a fit and proper football club owner, the increasing fascination with pyrotechnics and deafening PA systems that drown out any attempt by supporters to build an actual atmosphere before a game, the concept that a fair tackle can somehow use 'unnecessary force', ticket prices.... Well, we could be here for a while, couldn't we? The clubs are private companies, the league is a private entity comprised of the clubs. We are but the punters, who can either take it or leave it. They will do whatever the f*** they please.
