They should have the players who received medical treatment taken off for 5 minutes as well , might cut down the amount of fake injuries.

Will fans even be able to tell the color difference from the stands? Woe to the color blind too.

What an awful idea

Fernandinho and Rodri have been the best at this for years, the thing is I can only see it affecting lower teams because the 2 above mentioned got away with countless times and I can see the other teams in the top 6 doing it too without much impact.

Terrible Idea. Everything they are doing is to add storage to game to add commercial breaks. I’m telling ya. they will ask for a damn time out soon (not teams…… the ones who sell the TV rights)

No

There are highlights floating around today of a hockey ref sending everyone on the ice to a 10 minute penalty. Lol imagine what a mess this is gonna be.

Some of you here are being stubborn for tradition. This isn’t just “another thing for the ref to screw up”, these calls would be made either way, for a yellow or red. If anything, this option could lessen the effects of a bad red card call. The yellow/red card system is way too rigid and doesn’t allow for proper game management from the ref, as since the gap between the effects of yellow and red are so large, players will absolutely push what they will get away with. Introduce these sin bins, and we could even see time-wasting reduce.

Or just give players yellow cards consistently for such fouls

That is a terrible change.

Don’t you mean “sin-ical”?

Actually…why not get them out of the game? Cynical foul (no attempt to play the ball) = red card. They’ll reduce within 1 game week.

I referee low level games and I always thought its weird the rules are more strict at that level and pros get away with all sorts, time wasting etc. I have to call offsides without help and no VAR to lean on.

My biggest wish if this is going to be a thing is that the sin-bins are placed near the corner spot. Just so the ref can tell players to “GO SIT IN THE CORNER!” or say “Time for a time-out in the corner young man!”

Yes please. Tactical fouls shouldn’t exist. Fouls have punishments to discourage them. If the benefit outweighs the downside then the punishment is too mild. It’s basically legal cheating.
