Daft Laws of the Game

[TheRef]

I was AR on a game today, home goalkeeper and away striker clash heads from a long ball into the box. Keeper gets the last touch so goes out for corner. Physios on to treat both players. Cue the shouts from the away bench when the referee tells the striker that he has to go off the pitch but the goalkeeper can remain on for the resulting corner.

I think that if the goalkeeper gets injured along with a player from the opposition then neither player should go off in the interests of fairness.

What are some other daft laws that need changing in your opinion?

Have a reread of Law 5.

I think the IFAB would agree with you, perhaps that's why (as Bester alluded to above) they already changed that particular aspect of the law, well over a decade ago.

Maybe it's just as well that I wasn't the referee then
