What rule would you abolish in football?
Discussion
As the title really and why?
Personally I would look at removing the offside rule. The linesman can be used to spot the ball for when it goes out of play, used to assist spotting divers better or any other developments. How many times has play been stopped for marginal silly off side rules? The game would become better, possibly higher scoring and better paced.

Abolish completely?
How about the one that says you have to leave the pitch before coming back on after (faking) an injury?
Or the automatic yellow card for jumping over the advertising boards and celebrating with your fans. or taking off your shirt?
The rules governing how the throw-in is taken (no-one pays any attention to them anyway)
Outfield players not allowed to challenge the goal keeper.
That'll do for starters.

some of those are stupid rules...ide like to see yellows to the creeps that try to get the ref to show a card to another player,i really dont understand the mentality of that type of person.Lucas said:

"goal-hanging"? But yeah, the off-side rule is seriously flawed.Personally I would look at removing the offside rule.

If you get an injury and the stretcher is called you must leave the pitch for 10 mins
All footballers to have there hands bound, to reduce shirt pulling
Id modify the offside law,at the moment you cant be offside in your own half.Id change that to a new line midway in the oppositions half.This should open the game up a bit

i'd like to see a rule that allows you to shout 'change of goalie' when your mate is being punched by the opposing team and your the only one left back.
whilst we're on the theme, 'rush goalie' would also be good, whereby in a change for the norm we all have to look like ian rush and talk in a barely understandable scouse accent.

Rules to abolish? None. I would, however, like to see the players educated so that they know what the rules are, and that if the try and perform surgery on an opponent with raised studs down his back that they realise that it will result in a free-kick to the opposition so they don't need to go screaming in the ref's face protesting about it.
I would also make players watch just how pathetic they really are when fully grown adult professional sportsmen act as though they've been shot and do the ten rolls whilst grabbing an ankle (either one will do) routine. And then I'd book them all for cheating.
