After hearing that
1/4th of the world population (India) snores in the second half of
every #WorldCup match or are switching to Suryavansham on SetMax, FIFA has decided
to make Football more interesting and subcontinent friendly. So they approached
Rajiv Shukla for suggestions and recommendations to popularize football in the
Indian sub-continent. Following are Shukla Ji's suggestions.
- Only 2 defenders should be allowed inside the D for the first 15 minutes. Max 4 for the rest of the game, be it a free kick or a corner kick.
- Each team can have 5 minutes of ‘super time’ where opposition will have to remove the Goalkeeper from the goal post.
- Every ‘Host’ country should have the liberty to choose the playing conditions on the field as per there convenience, they can remove the 'grass' totally from the football pitch or can have knee length grass. Whichever way they like to play.
- Not even a slightest resentment is allowed on the Referees decision, if a player gets a Yellow or Red card, he has to smile and say “Thank you”
- Two referral’s allowed against the Referee’s decision, if the Captain wins the decision then on-field Referee has to apologies. The signal for apology would be holding his ears and doing 2 sit-ups.
- If the team’s Center Forward is injured, he can ask for a runner. The runner will do the running, dribbling whereas center forward can rest near oppositions Goalpost only to take the kick. No offside rule for him.
- Substitutes are not allowed to strike; they can only run or pass the ball.
- Exchanging of t-shirts after the game should be called ‘Dada Act’, players have to swing there t-shirt over there head for 10 secs before handing it over to the opposition players.
- I (Rajiv Shukla) and Srinivasan Jain should be accommodated in FIFA governing body; even the entry level is ok for us. (we know how to rise)
- Pakistan or Pakistani players should not be allowed at any time to play this sport.
