Am I the only who see this as a positive thing? I think that there are so many situation in football where the player who committed a foul doesn’t deserve a red or a yellow card,sin-bins would be perfect for this kind of situation! At the same time this will make football even more subjective and alongside this new rule, a new rule should also be implemented! Stoping the clock every time the ball isn’t in play would guarantee that teams that had a player out for 10 minutes wouldn’t waste those 10 minutes by faking injury or something similar!!!

If the news that allison will be out for 2 months is true then I don’t see Liverpool challenging for the tittle anymore this season and I’m saying this as a Liverpool fan ;)

This is such a dumb rule. Does Wenger really believe that this will lead to more goals being scored? It’ll actually have the opposite effect!!! Defenders and managers will no longer find it feasible to play a high line or even a mid block!! It’ll result in fewer goals being scored not more !!In theory this would give an advantage to forwards but that won’t be the case! Forwards won’t have space to run into to begin with! because other teams won’t be naive enough to play a high line anymore!the issue here is that Wenger is thinking only from the perspective of the forwards who are trying to score a goal!!! he’s not considering the fact that defenders will adapt to this rule making the game more boring!! I have a theory as to why wenger and FIFA are so desperate to implement this new rule… they see this new rule as a way to make football more entertaining… football is a low scoring game and the new generation has such a low attention span in general which means that making football more entertaining (by increasing the number of goals scored in games) would lead to people paying more attention to the game. f.perez had a similar argument regarding the fact that nowadays fans don’t pay as much attention to a football match as they used to in the past… But as I stated above this will actually decrease the number of goals being scored… the reason why we have so many offsides in the modern game is due to the offside rule , however if the rule were to change in a way that gives an advantage to forwards then the number of offsides would drastically decrease , making this new rule pointless!! Might as well just scrap the offside rule altogether and make a new sport!! Football fans and wenger take the offside rule for granted, such drastic change for the rule would change football forever! It’d become a new sport!!! imagine every team attacking with less players, imagine teams like Liverpool no longer being able to press high, there wouldn’t even be a need for GK that are comfortable with the ball in their feet are no team would even be willing to press the opponent…I might have to stop watching the sport if this rule becomes a reality z hopefully the Pl will wait and the see the consequences that This rule would bring to football before implementing it in the PL…
