Because it would give an unfair advantage to the home side, for example when the sun is low in the second half sometimes it can be shining directly into a goalkeepers eyes. Wind can also be a factor taken into consideration as can the location of the away fans behind one of the goals.
At times small margins can make big differences.

Coin Toss works for me but maybe it needs varying a bit
The home team could have the choice of method. Guess which hand the coin is in, carrot in a box, Rock Paper Scissors etc etc

I completely agree, the coin toss is outdated now, it should be replaced by a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Next question: Why are corner flags necessary? What’s the point?

Connect 4 best of 3, each leg contested by a different player.
Close up footage shown on the scoreboard.

I'd imagine we'd be looking at Dabo as lead 'connector' followed by Gyokeres and Hyam as last man if it went to the decider.

Why do players always put the ball outside the quadrant when taking a corner? If it’s because there isn’t enough room then make it a foot bigger and say the ball has to be inside the quadrant line.

Choose a different theme every week (to add to the excitement) The away team captain has to guess if it's a cake or not, with it being displayed on the big screen. The fans can join in, screaming 'cake' or 'not cake' . What a way to get the crowd worked up before kick off.

Referee David McNamara suspended for 'rock, paper, scissors' - BBC Sport

A referee has been suspended for three weeks for deciding a Women's Super League kick-off with a game of rocks, paper, scissors instead of a coin toss.

Or why don’t both teams kick the same way and switch ends at half time?

They should decide who kicks off by playing 90 minutes of football between the two sides. The winner of that game, decides which end they kick off from.

They like to show themselves to be daring rebels, getting one over the authorities trying to tell them what to do. Bellends.

Just like this guy:

I was called "a knob" for stating the known fact that Lincoln, Stoke and Nottingham are in the Midlands whilst Crewe is in the north.

Although it's not the most pressing issue, I sort of agree, though I'd give the away side the chance to choose ends and home side who kicks off. It's make stadium designers think harder about the orientation, like with ours where the sun shines in the face of one of the goalies.

Next weeks non-pressing subject - should the penalty area be a different shape?

Just because it helps us out with pitch marking. Make it the entire area within the 22 yard line…. All the way across. Games would be finishing 12-11
