My idea of the beautiful game is based on a strict interpretation of the rules and decries excessively physical football (employed mostly by teams and players who don't have enough skill). However, I do think that the so-called "injury" really slows down football. I'd like to see no stoppages for injuries. If a player is marginally injured - he walks off the pitch.

As for the gun - well - let me see - that could be employed when option one doesn't work and the referee quickly wants to get the player to option two. Is the idea of a gun anti-thetical to the beautiful game? Well - it does represent using violence to solve problems. However - it would in the case of my proposal - keep the play flowing.
