Old trends in football you’d like to see making a comeback

All that apart from....
European Cup - 2 leg knockout
UEFA Cup - 2 leg knockout
Cup Winners Cup - 2 leg knockouts.

From when exciting jeopardy was valued more than sky acquisition.

yep knockouts would be so much better. still remember watching the uefa cup in the early 2000s and thinking how much each game had riding on it

Don't know if it has already been mentioned, but has the foul throw rule been amended or removed? I was watching a game on telly recently and every throw would have been a foul throw in my playing days ( 1960s - mid 1980s).

to be honest, i couldnt care less about how someone takes a throw in and think it should just get the ball back in play by whatever means

I understand that, and the officials seem to agree with you, but have they actually changed the rules?

Teams only wearing change strips in the event of a colour clash.

Referees and linesmen wearing black.

Right footed players playing right wing and left footed players playing left wing.

Cushions raining down from the HD equivalent of the Top Balcony after a poor EFC home performance (and boy, those cushion makers would be kept busy these days ).
