This threads probably been done a thousand times but f**k me that rule is frustrating. It's a lottery. 50/50 call each and every time.
What are your ideas for improving it?
Personally I'd go with one of
a) Free game. Allow stripping, have a greater emphasis on ball control. Downside is the possibility of far more conservative play with teams not wanting to offload due to the chance of a strip.
b) Change the rules with penalties so that only unsafe conduct or professional fouls can result in a kick for touch or kick for goal. Doesn't remove the problem but minimises the effect. Stripping rule aside there is definately a case for this anyway. Way to easy to piggy back your way into good field position through dubious crap like markers not square or a leg pull when standing up, and rewards milking too often.
I'm iffy on a) but have thought b) is a very good idea for a fair while now.
