I am a professional referee and this worries me little bit. The number of conversations we have about yellows and reds are insane. And even with just 2 cards, we do not have consensus on what a card should sometimes be.
Now you add an “orange” card and now these discussions become even more complicated. As someone who doesn’t like dissent as much as the other guy, I do not think this will be a good solution.
This is exactly like VAR. Great in concept, but it will not be executed correctly.
Grassroots officials have been suceessfully implementing sin bins for C2 for the last three years - surely as a professional you can recognise dissent and sanction it appropriately?
why does it make it more complicated?
you as an alleged pro ref, know there are cynical fouls yes? they will now get a yellow and a sin bin. what is the issue?
its the exact same as DOGSO and pens.
did we not just successfully remove double jeopardy? i seem to believe we did yes? so its the same fucking principle
Your last paragraph nails my feelings perfectly
Which is EXACTLY why this "orange card" would be useful. If it's ambiguous whether something should be a yellow or red throw up the orange and send them off for a few minutes
