I am solidly of the opinion that there shouldn’t be such a thing as a good yellow card or a good foul. I can’t think of any other sport where you can benefit from committing an infringement (potentially basketball).
Having a dangerous counter attack and being cut down 40 yards from goal isn’t much use to the attacking team. A yellow card and a free kick 40 yards out is pretty useless.
I think either a sin-bin, or a free kick from the position of attacking teams choice is the best option.
Or to be really out there, an indirect free kick from the penalty spot? Defenders can get behind the ball too.
thank god someone is speaking sense and realises what is happening today,
you said it perfectly with “good foul” and “good yellow” the players and teams weigh up and say yep its better i clean him out for the yellow. its like fining rich people, its clearly not a punishment anymore
