One word answers to describe things that have gone out of football

Obstruction.

It appears you are now allowed to wrestle an opposition striker to prevent them getting to the ball as it crosses the line for a goal kick.
 
The A-Z half time scoreboard.
Reserve teams.
Central League.
Our reserve team playing the same opponents at their place (or ours).
Christmas Day games.
Rosette and badge sellers outside grounds.
… and The Green (or Pink down here).

…. sorry, no one word answers there!
 
Atmosphere

There's only a few clubs (us included obviously) that creates a good atmosphere anymore. They all used to be decent when I was growing up.
 
Orange (tangerine) balls on snowy pitches.
Numbered sock tie ups (one for plumbs).
Football specials.
Fylde Borough coaches (away games).
Nolan's songs.
Birmingham bags.
Three star jumpers.
Feather cuts.
