Having refereed matches at U11 and U14 this season I would like a five minute sinbin for players swearing. It would take away the fact that a player gets three yellow cards then some way down the line another team benefits from the offence. A five minute sinbin would be an ideal way to punish the player and it would give opponents an opportunity to take advantage.
What change would you make?

| Hi, A very good point and as i am talking from a coaches/managers perspective and not a referees then what i would say is i do not agree with a sin bin in any shape or form as its too much of a change and not in anyway part of the game (in the same way goal line technology has no relevance in the proffessional game - but thats a different discussion) Players swearing can be dealt with within the club by having it as a rule of the club but parents also have a massive part to play in this. If i swore in front of my parents as a youngster, or been reported to my parents for swearing (I dont do it now and i'm 32) i would have been in trouble regardless if i was playing football or doing anything else so it reflects as much on the discipline they are taught than anything actually football related. pressure should be put on the clubs to assure their players conduct during matches etc but i dont think any rule changes should actually be made to enforce this. I have a strict no swearing rule at my present club and previous club and as long as you are a strong enough character to enforce the rules with dropping/substituting players who dont follow the rules then the players will soon realise they have to follow suit. Maybe clubs could get a warning for their players conduct then if it happens again possibly dock them the points then they will soon put their own rules in place.

| This isn't so much a law change but a change I'd like to see introduced in youth football in general. Isn't it about time we thought about Summer football ?? My team's just gone through the worst Winter for years and didn't play a game in 3 months. Horrendous weather, muddy/frozen pitches - it's not really what we want. The one difficulty I can see is working it out to co-incide with school holidays. However there must be some way we could do this. Going by the Winter we've just had we definitely need a shut-down at this time. What's people's thoughts on this ?

| I would like to see goalkeepers for U11 and U13's be able to take their goal kicks from the edge of the penalty box rather than the goalie box. It puts undue pressure on the team especially when they jump up from a 7 a side pitch. This gives the young player time to grow physically thus by the time they reach U14's they can throw some weight behind their clearance.

| This was an idea I put forward a few years ago for the professional game, particualrly these days when players can can booked so easily for the slightest mis-timed challenge etc. I've said all along there should be a sin bin system at least that way the team that gets sinned against gains an immediate advantage

At one level the Sin Bin idea is great - one players indiscretion impacts the entire team. Peer pressure then plays a part in hopefully preventing reoffending especially if the offence is persistent swearing or dangerous foul play. However ....... you need a totally impartial and consistent referee to be able to make it work. Whilst the game relies heavily on volunteers or home sides providing referees it just opens up the risk of accusations of favouritism if that referee were to penalise the away side first. I have seen a referee consult with a coach of a team in the face of bad behaviour and ask the coach to replace the player before he gets sent off. That could also work but again requires a truly impartial referee.
My law change would be to scrap the offside rule completely especially in children's football and probably all levels of the game which do not have paid, impartial officials. In my experience most disputes arise over offside decisions. The linesman is always a volunteer Dad. Most do not understand the rules (who does anymore ?). Most bad decisions are incompetence and not bias / cheating. Take this uncertainty away and focus on skills, marking and teamwork.

| I quite like this especially at the younger age groups so a goal kick can actually relieve pressure. Perhaps for the first couple of years on a full or 11-a-side size pitch.

| I like the high school rule of indirect free kick restart if a team has possession when play stopped for an injury, foreign object on the field, etc.
