Not sure about the sin bin thing before I hear more but one thing I think Football has needed for a long long time is allowing only the captain to approach the referee.

It's frustrating to watch when a foul or something happens and then you get half the pitch sprint over to the ref to try and influence him into making some kind of decision.

Having the ref's micced up so you can hear a conversation between them and the captain would make for good viewing whilst also improving the overall game I think.

Also the new trend of when a foul is given all the opposition players nonchalantly run over or next to the ball to stop a quick free kick. So frustrating. In rugby that free kick would be advanced 10 yards.

Advancing a free kick isn’t always beneficial in football though. It has been tried before.

Not at all serious suggestion, loosely based on some NFL rules, where the non-penalised team can choose between two outcomes:

Let the other team choose whether to advance it 10 yard or give the player a 2 minute sin binning.
