abomvubuso | What rules could football adopt from rugby?

With the FIFA World Cup just around the corner, football is once again arguing about referees, VAR, handballs, offsides, and whether the referee's cousin once looked suspiciously at a player from the opposing team.

Meanwhile rugby seems to have solved a lot of this years ago.

A few ideas football could steal:

- Only the captain is allowed to speak to the referee. Everyone else who runs over waving their arms gets an automatic yellow card.
- Referee conversations with VAR are broadcast live. No more mysterious "checking possible incident..." for 5 minutes.
- Speaking of those 5 minutes... When someone is injured, or needs a substitution, etc, the clock is stopped. Let's play 2x40mins instead of 2x45, but make it "clean time".
- Anyone pretending to be injured must spend the next 10 minutes off the pitch recovering from their "serious injury". Without a substitution.
- Players who surround the referee are moved back 10 metres, rugby-style. Keep complaining and the goal is eventually awarded from the halfway line.
- Respect for officials becomes normal again instead of a revolutionary concept.
- Personally, I'd also introduce a new law (yep, in rugby they're called Laws): every fake dive earns the player a mandatory screening of their own highlights in front of the stadium after the match.

What else should football borrow from rugby?
