There should be a sensor in each football so that if a player wastes time by taking the ball within a yard of a corner flag, ice cold water is squirted from sprinklers set in the corner flag. Of course, referees would need a remote control to turn off the sensor when a corner is being taken. All fairly inexpensive technology.
A clock so that when the game is stopped for feigning injuries, timewasting etc (aka Orient) and us at times that everyone can see. Last week against Orient, they time wasted for 25 minutes in second half and only 8 minutes were added on (including for subs).
The game against Leyton was considerably "shorter" than most matches by at least 10 - 15 minutes. I'm surprised the tactical significance of this is rarely mentioned.
Substitutes effectively came on much earlier than usual and players would have less tired than usual in the latter stages of the game etc.
Goalkeeper goes down injured... You leave the pitch like everyone else!!
One outfield player is allowed to act as emergency Goalkeeper whilst he's waiting to come back on though
Lets see Leyton Orient / Bolton etc. time waste so they can have a team talk with that rule.
Either that or team talks during the games should be banned, with drinks breaks happening on the other side of the pitch, with no non-Players allowed around whilst its happening.
Fake injuries and time wasting in general, does my nut, ref should have a new card in the shape of a lightening fork , show the player the card and then tazer them for our enjoyment, opposition players only of course.
Ricardo Santos and our player are chasing the ball, its going to the Goalkeeper so Santos steps across our players path - I know he can stand where he wants, and our player didnt have the ball.. But cmon, he's clearly doing nothing other than to OBSTRUCT the opponent from trying to get the ball, whilst doing nothing with iit themselves.
Same when a ball goes for a Goal Kick / Corner / Throw, and you see players desperately try to let it go out by basically pushing their opponent away from being able to get it.
Force the defending player to do something with it, that'll make those situations interesting.
Get rid of all referees (like that idiot at the weekend) and replace them entirely with VAR, perhaps we could have phone in votes for tricky decisions @£1.00 a call (Chelsea, Millwall and Crystal Palace fans £5.00 a call).
Something that was mentioned after Clare's horrible foul on Josh Edwards: If a player is forced to miss matches because of injuries sustained through foul play, the offending player should be forced to miss the same amount of matches.

Can't do that, hardly fair if a keeper is genuinely hurt in a collision and his team are punished by him having to go off.

Realistically, for red card offences you could have à list of injuries with a fine system equating to the cost to the NHS donated to medical research, and maybe in addition e.g cruciate ligament damage: one month sin bin
I'd like to see an extra line on the pitch between the centre line and the penalty area. If you're not beyond that line when the ball is kicked forward then you can't be offside - only if you are beyond that line. Should increase the number of goals scored.
I would amend this to the player passing the ball. The player receiving can be anywhere after the line including in the penalty box but the player passing has to be in front of this line. Offside only applies if it is played behind the line.
Once the ball has been played after the line there is no offside for this team in the phase of play that follows. The phase of play is defined as the ball: 1. going back behind the line from either team 2. going off the pitch but only if the attacking team kick it off.
