It's also how we got to 22 players, 2 managers plus > 40K fans standing around for 5 minutes waiting to decide if they can celebrate a goal or not.
However you cannot legislate against anti-football. Those tactics are employed to negate the better team and are completely within the rules if done properly, we see it all the time if/when a team goes down to 10 men, and sin bins could in theory temporarily see a team go down to 9 men on a weekly basis depending on how touchy the officials feel.
I'm all for showing respect to the ref, they are people after all, but sin bins are not the way to go imho
