Obstruction and indirect free kicks. What has happened to them? Obstruction used to be an easy way for a referee to give a free kick in the area without awarding a penalty but they only seem to give it for the goalie picking a pass back up nowadays. Indirect free kicks have disappeared altogether.
And why do forwards get penalised for turning a defender by using their body but defenders (mostly full backs) can obstruct the forward from getting the ball whilst it rolls over the goal line. Stupid referees!

This. As far as I am concerned there has to be a valid attempt to the play the ball which shielding it out really isn't. If a midfielder shielded a ball like that back to his centre half it would be a free kick.
 
Bands in the stands. At football matches. Who thought that would be good. Even worse are clubs that encourage it and section off a bit in which they can perform. Imagine having a seat near that with it droning in your ear all match long.
 
East Anglian football. It just doesn't seem right. Norwich look like mustard jars on a snooker table. The other teams seem like cow abusers doing community service. Peterborough - I ask you! Cambridge - they have 'Liverpool legend' Richard Money as their manager! Get on with farming and leave the sport alone.
 
Clubs that charge to be on a ticket waiting list. Is it necessary to gouge people everywhere, all the time.

Just keep a list on a first come, first served basis. How hard can it be?
 
How players sneak the ball on the otherside of the quadrant and still take shite corners. That goes for strikers aswell. If you're a professional footballer honing your craft everyday, there's no excuse for erratic shooting that blazes consistently over or wide. Same goes for crossing, if you're a fullback or a winger, there is no excuse.
 
How there's such a massive variation between home and away. Teams will go to an away game with a cautious approach, whereas at home they play to win. Are the players influenced by the crowd that much you have to tailor your system and personnel?!
 
Disincentivise time wasting by stopping the timer for injuries, so players will quit time wasting or trying to. And if the player is genuinely injured, they'll be treated properly.

A clear dive needs to be met with a red card. It's the only way to eradicate it.

I'd get rid of cards entirely and deal with everything with fines and bans from video evidence. Possibly after a particularly nasty incident there could be a forced substitution to take the heat out of the situation. It's amazing the amount of games that are ruined by having one team going down to ten men.
