Let's rewrite the rules of football........The Sniper Rule - Proposal # 5


Recommended Posts

This is a rule hammered out by one Mister MockneyPiers and myself after much deliberation during a particularly boring FSA Trophy Finale.


The aim of the rule is to do away with stagnant, boring matches and force a result in most games without the need for penalties.


The proposal is this:


There will be a team of officials who asses the performance of each player during the game. They will decide who the 4 worst players on the pitch are at any one time. The players, ref and spectators will not know who is on the list.


There will be a military trained sniper installed in a roost in the grandstands. They will be armed with live ammunition or tranquilizer darts depending on the level of the game and the laws of the country it is being played in.


At the 75th minute the sniper will be instructed to shoot the player who is rated the worst. The same will happen at the 80th, 85th and 90th minutes.

Ah shure that would hold the game up like the anti modern technology heads would argue. All those stretchers going back and forth would interrupt the flow of the game. Wouldn't it be better to have hidden trapdoors in the pitch so they could just be gone without any fuss?
Oh that won?t matter as they are no longer in the game. Their presence on the field is just an extra challenge and little incentive to the remaining players. If they are capable they will of course be allowed to claw their way to the side lines where their manager can deal with them as they see fit.

Well you know, jumpers for goal post etc.


In the case of such teams the job will be done by volunteers from the local British Legion or failing that Scout Troop, using a tranquilizer gun borrowed from the RSPCA.


The judging of who gets shot will be done by a committee from the WI as they are probably the only ones bloody minded enough for the job.

    • That looks spectacular! I would be reluctant to share that if i was lucky enough to live there!
    • Is there any way of soundproofing a single glazed sash window? Would  polythene sheeting work? If I replaced the window, I would have triple glazing, but it's a small room used as an office  which I'm not in all that often, so  I really don't want to go to that expense.
    • You must have been very unlucky, they are usually very helpful. Didn't your GP advise you on what strength to get? Any issues with delivery from online orders pale into insignificance when compared with the advantages of not having to trek from shop to shop comparing availability and prices of what you want, and then having to find someone in each place who can tell you about it, and then hoping that they have given you the correct information! And then having to lug it all home, if it is heavy stuff. Assuming you were lucky enough to find what you wanted in the first place. Been there, done that for decades,  don't want to do it any more thanks  😀
