For those who are craving entertainment and goals 11:15 - Sep 19 with 2272 views

I propose a new version of football similar to what they've done to cricket with T20.

Full-size pitch. Eight outfield players. Nine on the bench, with unlimited substitutions (including subbed players going back on). Each half 20 minutes long, plus an extra five each way if drawing, then sudden death goal if still tied after that.

No outfield member of the defending team allowed inside the penalty area, 'keeper must not leave it. All fouls in their own half by a defending player result in a penalty. Offside and back-pass rules to be retained. Goal-line technology, with posts which light up when one is scored.

We can call it "SoccerBlast!", or some such name.

Presumably the players will be selected by draft? Also if it's 0-0 going into injury time there should be a multiball option to make sure goals are scored

And after every goal, judges award style points, which can effectively double the value.

Either that or the match is purely decided by a Clap-o-meter.

6. Having Andy Carroll type pony tails.

Ahem, some of us have sons with the 'Andy Carroll' type pony tails and have not only had to accept it but come to see it as character building. And I still have a ridiculous hope that Carroll will lose his way at Wet Spam, drift around through clubs and leagues a bit and then come to Portman Road when everyone thinks he is washed up and have a Murphy season. And with lots of scissor kicked goals like the one last year only these times he will remember to have a pint in one hand and a pie in the other so he can be even more proper bloke...

Now we're talking.

Add an extra two balls in the last 10 minutes of each half/quarter/ whatever, one coloured for each team. You can only score with your coloured ball in this power-play. Also, instead of freekicks for fouls, have flexible goalposts which widen by one foot for five minutes to penalize the offending team.

It would also be great to incorporate elephants into this new version of the game.

	That's a fair pile of assumptions you've jumped to there.....

Can we have hot-dog and coke sellers wandering around the stands during the game so that when a goal is scored at least 10% of the crowd can't see it?
