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!!!
100% agree this is a good thing. Just need to watch a few rugby games to see how this can only be a positive thing. There are too many fouls that are ‘taking one for the team’ and are only punished by a yellow and give the attacking team a free kick just inside the opposition’s half.
Its just a shame that footballing referees are so incompetent. I honestly don’t know how rugby is refereed so well and football so poorly.
