They should have the players who received medical treatment taken off for 5 minutes as well , might cut down the amount of fake injuries.
Sin bins have absolutely NO PLACE in football.
Just make all current yellow cards punishable by 5 mins sin bin. No need to invent a new colour.
About damn time
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.
What an absolutely terrible idea. Who is coming up with this crap and how are they getting their jobs? Ridiculous.
All I’m saying is 10 minutes isn’t the middle ground
Helps the small teams against the ‘big boys’ happens most games. Big boy has the minnow penned in around their penalty box. Minnows get a rare chance to break, and they get hacked down.
Players like Rodri, Fabinho, Rice are gonna spend most of their season in the orange box.
Single yellow cards directly do very little to ‘reward or compensate’ the victim -outside of making a player play more cautiously. Those yellows for breaking up a dangerous counter attack mean that the attacking team lose out on a possible dangerous attacking situation. Imo sinbins would be a more apt punishment than the yellow card. Bring it on!
Long overdue - that Fernandinho style intentional, deliberate, but nonviolent foul has always been worth more than a yellow but less than a red. Hope this stamps it out.
Or just give players yellow cards consistently for such fouls
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.
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.
Why do they keep fucking about with our game! The reason it’s so popular across the globe and gets the massive investment is it’s pretty much the perfect team sport.
The way this is going!the commentary will be like ‘ Wow - look at that…looks like a great handball force by MBappe - lifting the ball to get the penalty….oh wait - Klopp is playing his one-time challenge card to force an orange card - let’s hope he’s right or he’ll lose his teams tactical substitution in case of an 5 min sin bin’
Turning the beautiful game into fucking Magic The Gathering.
Can we just sin bin all referees in operation for 10 centuries and replace them with some that can actually follow the current rules?
