I grew up in a time when a goalkeeper could just pick up the ball, anytime. It was horrible! It was a radical change to the game when they changed that rule. If people like you were in charge that would still be a thing. So yes, sometimes things need change. The game has evolved enormously, players have evolved and also fans have evolved (shorter attention span). Why so afraid of change?

I don’t have a problem with this. Offside = offside. Doesn’t matter if it’s with your whole body or with just a fraction of the feet. You (literally) gotta draw the line somewhere.
That said I would get rid of the offside rule altogether. They got rid of it in field hockey years ago, and the game (also because of a handful of other great changes) became better. Football is so ready for some radical new rules.
- Shorter games with a playclock that stops when ball isn’t in play
- Introduction if the selfpass after a free ball
- Unlimetd substitution (you don’t stop the game for a substitution),
- a penalty bench. If a player receives a yellow card he immediately sits 8 minutes on the penalty bench. Team can’t replace him duringthat period (a red card is still a red card.
- Two timeouts per game per team. You can only call for a timeout if your team has the ball on the opponent’s half.
- Smaller teams. Max 6 substitutes on the bench. So Mn City or PSG can’t bring unlimited starsplayers
In Giminez case it’s Eredivisie level we’re talking about. Every league under the top 4/5 gives you zero guarantees they can do it on a higher level.
