Personally I think it's time to start considering some kind of shot clock. We seem to be reaching a point basketball reached before it introduced a shot clock; so often teams just keep possession aimlessly rather than making a genuine attempt on goal while the other team is content to just park the bus. Obviously, a shot-clock based on possession wouldn't work in football because teams would just kick the ball out of play but it could work if it alternated between the two teams regardless of who had possession.

What about the rest of you? How do you think football could be made less defensive? What other changes do you think the Laws of the Game desperately need?

I appreciate your love of the Southampton FC badge (which is extremely cool and good) but basically this:

Well in basketball it changes when the other team gets possession but in football that would lead to teams just booting it out so I figure it'd be better if the clock only went onto the other team after a shot on target has been made. Also, the time would have to be a lot longer, maybe 5 minutes or more? If the clock runs out before they've had a shot on target then the "defending" team (ie. the one without the shot clock) would get a penalty.

I'm all for improving the game if there's a reasonable suggestion, but giving a penalty for the other team not having a shot on target every few minutes is a really, really bad idea. Since penalties are a virtually guaranteed goal, this would likely lead to at least some teams parking eleven men behind the ball, defending like their lives depended on it, and giving the ball back to the other team if they somehow won it, just because if they can block every shot for five minutes they get a free goal. Mourinho would win every game 10-0 with 0% possession. Why bother attacking when if you defend long enough you get handed a golden scoring opportunity?

Use old-school NASL rules. 6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, 0 points for a loss, and a point per goal scored (max 3).

I've said before here that I want the referee to have the ability to give 2 yellows without having to give a red. 2 yellows in a game means you miss next match, referee can give a red for second yellow if he wants. 3 yellows is a red.

Standing and drinking in stadiums.

Make the penalty area smaller and change it to a circular shape around the goal, so no more penalty's because there was a foul around the 'corners' of the box where the player was no threat to goal.

I want the premier league website to show full 20+ minute highlights of all matches. Alan shearer to be banned from TV too.

Lots more retroactive banning, especially for diving, don't care if the referee saw it or not. Ban players for shouting in an aggressive manner to referees.

More transfer windows.

Institute permanent transfer windows. Hell, let transfers take place while matches are going on. Imagine a heated derby match where a star player gets pulled to the side and switches his jersey to the other team's and goes back on and scores the winning goal. Phwoarrr. Imagine the tension you feel as a fan never knowing if your favourite player is going to still be playing for your team when the 90 minutes are up.

The best players on each team would still earn what they deserve, but it would have stopped the hoarding of talent by a handful of teams that we now see, which weakens the depth of leagues and derails careers.

The Americans have it right in this regard.

All football stadiums have giant spinning wheels with handicaps on and every 10 minutes without a goal both captains spin the wheel to discover how they will be handicapped for the rest of the game. Maybe let fans spin the wheel to involve them more in the game.
