Scrapping offside has always intrigued me. What would be the problem with doing that? Offside almost works as an additional defender, by converting the least advanced defender into a defensive line across the pitch. Removing offside would mean defenders have to mark more closely, I can't imagine it leading to goalhangers, but it would probably lead too much higher scoring games.

Sin Bins up for discussion. Think it is a crap idea personally. Don't want anything to do with it. Why should a team go a man down for a foul? Especially when it could be unintentional. Load of crap.

If it's for every yellow card then it would be ridiculous. For certain types of foul e.g. 'professional fouls' to stop counter attacks it could possibly work. They don't deserve a straight red, bit early a yellow card isn't enough to so players doing it. Equally if a player dives, it could also work as a punishment.

Gareth Barry should just turn himself in at the start of every game

Can they just make the change that is simplest first? Only the captain can speak to the ref, unless the ref is speaking to you. Let the ref get on with it whether they are having a great or a crap game. Yellow for anybody approaching/shouting at the ref.

Having said that the gentleman in my avatar considered managing the ref to be a major part of his game,so I don't know how popular that would be with the players.
