If you could add one rule to fooball and take one away

What would they be?

Mine

Add:

Linos to not change ends with the teams at half time. That way you're only stuck with a slaphead w**ker for one half rather than two which we seem to have had more than our fair share of this season.

Remove:

The phase s**t re the offside rule. Either don't have offside or play it to the letter of the law.
