FA Cup replays scrapped

Yes, kick-ins would be absolutely shite. The only changes I'd make to throw ins would be:

1. Award a foul throw when a player tries to advance yards. If his team are winning and you send him back, thus wasting more time, that's not exactly a punishment.

2. Actually award foul throws, you twats.

Kick-ins now happen at U9 level and under. No headers allowed either.

Re the awarding of throw-ins being awarded to the opposition for it being taken from the wrong place.  This was introduced years ago when I was still refereeing and as far as I know still exists, I could well be wrong.  It initially caused chaos and then basically ignored as most referee's knew it would.

60 minute games with the clock stopped when the ball goes out of play. The Americans suggested it 30 years ago and we all baulked.

But I get nervous about teams wasting time when we need a goal. This is the only fair way.

Wenger.... lso said:
"I would also like to change the throw-in rule: five minutes before the end, a throw-in for you should be an advantage, but in these situations you are facing 10 outfield players in play, whilst you only have nine. Stats show that in eight out of 10 of those throw-in situations, you lose the ball. In your half of the pitch, you should have the possibility to take a kick instead."

If you kick it in you are still facing ten outfield players while you only have nine.

Extra time with golden goal and reducing the number of players on each team by one every five minutes would work for me. Could have the opposition nominate which of your players you have to take off as a League Cup twist.

That said, I'd imagine penalties suit us as long as we have Martinez.

Re Kick-in. The point being if you have a throw-in within your half, you can get it 10-15 yards at most but the taker  is out of any position to mark the player. With the kick, you could get it within a few yards of the oppo penalty box. Not saying I would want it, just indicating why the kicks.

Re: Taking players off. Nah, more chance of injuries to players who might have had to run around for 90 mins and now have to run even harder to mark up around the pitch.

I'm sure you've seen the rows and bust-ups over whose throw it is when it's uncertain.  Can you just imagine the riots that would ensue if the throw-in was abolished and replaced by a kick-in where the ball could be booted fifty yards plus instead of approximately ten to fifteen,   freak long throwers notwithstanding.

Also diminishes the supposed "advantage" of a corner, when a throw-in anywhere in the final third of the pitch is exactly the same.

Isn't that why he said it would happen with a throw-in in your own half? I don't care for the idea, but I think that covers that.

Sam Allerdyce and Tony Pullis say hello to even more chances to launch the ball into the opposition box from 70 yards away
