Okay... what is the problem people have with sin bins (aka orange cards)?

People think that removing a player for ten minutes is so mind-bogglingly complicated that we can't possibly make it work, despite grassroots officials doing it across england for the last three years.

My problem is how easier than other sports it is to waste time in football.
Rugby? If you're down one man you need to bust your ass to pass time.

Football? Foul someone, get in front of the ball; spend a minute for a throw-in or a goal kick. Fake an injury.

Before introducing sin bins, I need these anti-football behaviours addressed.

They can't enforce the rules already in place, are we to believe they could handle this whole new system? Call me a cynic but I don't have much faith.

People live in this dream world where the rules of football never change.

From 1950-1990 the fundamental make up of the game changed absolutely loads. 2 points for a win, no penalty shootouts, pass backs, no red card for tackles from behind, offside if you're level.

Football isn't some holy doctrine that has always been like this so I have no idea why people are opposed to further positive change.
