Nice spot Willo
1. 30 minute halves with clock stops when the ball is dead.
2. Penalty kicks either score or not with no scoring from the rebound (like a penalty shoot out)
3. Penalty shoot outs change the order from ABAB to ABBA.
4. passing to yourself at a free-kick, corner and goal-kick
5. a stadium clock which stops and starts along with the referee's watch
6. allowing the goal-kick to be taken even if the ball is moving
7.a goal-kick being taken on the same side that the ball went out on
8. a "clearer and more consistent definition" of handball
9. a player who scores a goal or stops a goal with his hands gets a red card
10.a keeper who handles a backpass or throw-in from a team-mate concedes a penalty
11. the referee can award a goal if a player stops a goal being scored by handling on or close to the goal-line
12. referees can only blow for half-time or full-time when the ball goes out of play

I agree with 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11

For number 3, the winner takes it all I guess

The question is. How would this affect things like Sunday football, especially the time keeping? Would there be professional rules and amateur or development rules?

4. passing to yourself at a free-kick, corner and goal-kick4.

Wonder if Wilf can just pick himself up and keep going, he can't be challenged due to the 10 yard or does the ref stop the kick being taken quickly?

Most of this seems a tad unecessary to me, if people are cheating time wasting, let the ref sort it out, punish them they will soon get the message, one thing i personally would like stopped is the subs in the last ten minutes, easy to solve, on the 80th minute , no more subs allowed regardless, i pay to see 90minutes, and i get really p......d off when you have subs late in a game, designed to kill the game, when it could ,should be the most exciting period of a game

Anything that speeds the game up in terms of the 'ball actually being in play' must surely be a good thing.

This is an area that has been severely eroded over the years as the price of supporting or watching football spirals in price!
One of the reasons why nearly all commentators of live matches have to talk such utter b*ll*cks!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
