Things that they could bring back at football...

Standing is the first one, why they cant organise that i don't know.
Also drinking in the ground, now perhaps this could just be in the seating areas so you don't get idiots going nuts with beer in the standing area as well. I know some get out of hand but surely that can be dealt with. I for one am perfectly capable of having a bee ror two in the ground whilst watching a match. same as at any other event sporting or otherwise.
Numbers 1 to 11 on the pitch with the subs getting a shirt.
I don't need a name across their back to tell me who it is. Please dont mention the word marketing here.
Peanuts. i do miss the bloke walking round with the monkey nuts, made it feel like the long bar at raffles and quite civilised.
what else would you like brought back.
Oh i may as well sneak in 3 pm kick offs on a saturday here

A standing area behind the goals as the Germans have i think would add to the game rather than mass terracing which is never going to happen.
Dont mind two tv games on the Sunday but i'd ditch early kickoffs on a Saturday.
Heresy i know but i quite like the Champions League as it is though the result of teams aiming their season at finishing 4th bores me.
The Cup Winners Cup is missed but the domination of the FA Cup by Champions League qualifiers means its irrelevant anyway.
The Europa League as the Europa Cup (ie straight knockout) would improve it.

surges on the north bank
The announcer saying "OK lads cool it" when a possible ruck on the South Bank. (Hammers v Watford FA cup 3rd Round late 70s)
The absolute hummdinging atmosphere.
I echo the Mr "Peanuts! Roasted Peanuts!" comment earlier.

An oven ready chicken slung on to the touchline from the Chicken Run and Tim Breaker bending over to pick it up for a throw on thinking it was the ball.

Golden Goal where you buy a ticket, tear round the perforation and find a time when a goal will be scored. Makes it bloody exciting when your minute comes round. Also bring back one sub rule and balls with laces.
Oh yea, and shoulder barging!

Collyrob, I think both those ideas are good ones, especially the Champions League idea. The current system has ruined football in this country, increasing the distance between the haves and have-nots, and leading to such a deified status for the topr 4/5 that most kids think it's totally reasonable to pick one of them to support. Fast forward 20 years and most clubs outside of the top elite will have crowds like Wigan, mark my words.

Some fucking ridiculous Shouts on this thread.
"champions league should only be for the champions"
So this year we'd have no barca no Milan no Munich no man united. But wouldn't it be great to watch shamrock rovers vs fc molde.
"there should only be one match on a Sunday"
Why?? Do you not like watching 2 football matches??

Couldn't agree more.
The only commentator who comes close to the reserved, dignified tone of previous years is Martin Tyler, and even he completely loses it from time to time. Albeit usually on pretty special occasions.

The obstruction rule. Must have been abolished as there must be 20+ clear cases of obstruction every game with defenders either shielding the ball as it goes out of play or players blocking opponents at corners etc and the ref never blows up for a free kick

NORMAL, DECENT TV COVERAGE - No more commentators talking absolute bollocks riddled with cliches and nauseating school-boy-like over-enthusiasm. No more ill-timed close up shots of the crowd, players and staff whilst missing the action on the pitch. No more pointless punditry with over analysis, endlessly disecting an incident that happened in a matter of seconds, drawn out to a long over complicated understanding using vast amounts of expensive technology.
