I was thinking of on-pitch football rules that were followed for a season and quietly forgotten. Feel free to add any that I can't think of at the moment...
1. Goalkeepers have to release the ball within 3 seconds.
2. Players preventing a quickly taken free kick gets a yellow card (a particularly regular occurrence nowadays)
3. Players showing dissent penalised with a free kick 10 yards further up the pitch.
4. All teams playing against an opposition that is managed by Derek Adams must wear a special shirt with the words "Derek Adams is a talentless, moaning kunt" embossed on it. (okay made that one up)
All of the above, actually made things a bit better and players got used to it so why are they no longer applied? Are they even in the rule book any more?
