    Me too but I fear the electronic boards will be even harder to ignore when I'm watching matches on my 100'' 4k laser HiSense TV when it gets delivered.

    There's too many simple ones which would improve the game for me to choose.

    EDIT: Having now read through this thread, I think most of my concerns have been covered.

    However, I would ban commentators using the words "Just about", in sentences:

    "He just about got a hand to that", when he actually did get a hand to it and saved a goal.
    "He just about kept that in", when he actually did keep it in.

    Seriously, I'd need a new house to fit such a thing in. I didn't know home TVs could be that big until those annoying advertising boards made me Google out of curiosity.

    Ball is only in active play about 55 mins so 30 mins half clock stops when goes out or foul or sub etc so can be no time wasting plus we get another five mins so be in ground until 5pm

    The offside thing isn't VAR related, loads of times in our games last season, Collins had to come racing out to challenge a player yards offside risking injury to himself and opponent only for the linesman to raise the flag. Absolutely stupid.

    I believe throw-ins should be replaced by indirect free kicks.

    Kicking the ball into touch is done as a pressure release valve, and a way of wasting time. If a team knew that all they were doing was to provide the opposition with an opportunity to cross the ball, they would try harder to keep the ball in play, and pass their way out of trouble. This would result in more errors, and whether it was from the crosses into the box from the touch-line, or as a result of more errors... more goals.

    I would increase the distance that the opposition need to be away from the ball at a free-kick to 12 yards from the current 10 yards.

    The increased distance should result in more goals from free-kicks around the penalty box. This should mean that teams would try even harder not to give away free-kicks in dangerous positions, once again increasing the possibility of error and creating more goals from one source or the other.

    Any player can be ajudged offside if he is inside two imaginary lines from the corners of the penalty area to the halfway line, whether he receives the ball or not. The markings could be introduced as broken lines if need be.

    Pure white footballs please.? So we can see where the bloody thing’s going. The 2002 World Cup ball was the worst. Get an orange out if it’s snowing but why, why, why? A simple white ****ing ball? Like golf, if you’re unfortunate not to have a life. Of course they had to liven up cricket, before sport went into a coma. Discuss. o_O

    This is something my son and me were discussing last week. There should be a review panel, randomly selecting matches and handing out punishments retrospectively. I hate players faking injury. Rolling around holding their face when their opponent hasn't been anywhere near them. Five match ban, no appeals. It wouldn't take long before players cleaned up their act.

    Just one? So many to choose from.....I will go for if you foul someone who has to go off for treatment you have to go off with them until they can get back on. It's not right you can foul someone enough they need treatment off the pitch and you have the one man advantage.
