I’m all for testing it if it avoids giving out so many reds, loads of games have been ruined by sending offs + I think we should revisit suspensions.
Getting sin binned or sent off is punishment enough + it’s so easy getting a yellow now that we are seeing a ton of suspensions earlier and earlier every season and the biggest clubs with the most depth are the ones which can deal with suspensions better. The goal should be to try and make sure we are getting the best/fairest games possible
Just make a rule that only captains and the player involved in an incident can approach the ref and actually enforce it with yellows and it’ll soon stop. Not sure this is the right approach.
That’s actually being trialled as well.
Although I honestly thought that had been implemented years ago and just ignored.
Yes the refs are shite, but 5 dudes surrounding and yelling in his face after a call needs to be stop.
I do understand where your coming from but what else are the players to do - the game suddenly stops then the referee tells the players what’s going on then it’s a constant game of waiting
only Captains should be able to confront the ref like that and thats when he calls them over
I play rugby but much prefer watching football and the difference in how the players treat the referees is insane, I remember hearing a story about a rugby player switching to football and getting a yellow card for calling the referee ‘sir’ because the referee thought he was taking the piss
Absolutely get to fuck
It’s just another thing that will cause controversy
Ref’s and VAR can’t even consistently implement the existing rules. How is adding another going to help?
What a shit show
So are we introducing fighting like hockey then?
Been asking for This for years!
That would definitely increase risk of injuries
Yup, yellow card is definitely too small penalty.
I was thinking of giving 1 match ban after 2 or 3 yellows instead of 5. It’s much easier to implement than sin bin, although sin bin has direct impact on the game foul was made, so if implemented correctly it could be better.
That’s a big if though
I am blind ! I am deaf ! I want to be a ref !
I very much like the idea that something different is being considered.
It works very well in indoor soccer (not to be confused with futsal), so give it a go at the outdoor game.
I’m sure this will be whistled equally
Is this like a penalty box for getting a yellow card, as opposed to the current punishment which is nothing?
Basically. It’s an idea taken from rugby where after a player gets a yellow card they get sent to the ‘sin bin’ for like 8-10 minutes. It a lot like the penalty box in ice hockey.
I like the idea. I just have very little faith that it would be used fairly and consistently.
