Long overdue - that Fernandinho style intentional, deliberate, but nonviolent foul has always been worth more than a yellow but less than a red. Hope this stamps it out.
lol they do this in hockey. Idk if it’s meant for the pitch
The. Game. Is. Dead.
Is this reasonable?
So they’re giving us “time-outs” without giving us “time-outs” 😂
I like the idea. In practice the introduction of the orange will reduce the numbers of times a red card is issued, as the referees will have a mechanism to punish a team a 'little' bit without altering the entire game. If this was brought in red cards would only be used for clear intentionally dangerous tackles, or clear fouls to stop a goal scoring opportunity.
The comments here are also why the referees are on a hiding to nothing. Some of you want subjective refereeing, but will cry when the 'subjective' reason does not go your teams way, and will find all the other examples where the foul was/was not called. Others wants refereeing to to letter of the law, but cry when this goes against your team (eg the Curtis Jones tackle).
It’s very effective in community football. People stop mouthing off pretty quickly. Turns what used to be an individual punishment (yellow card) into a collective punishment (playing a man down). If used properly, this should reduce a lot of the back chat.
Awful idea
Wow! And with some fifacage its foothockey with ball now! What’s next? The keeper use an armour and be switched for a line player for some minutes or change ball for a puck?
I think a basketball-style “foul out” system for accumulated fouls would be interesting. Let’s say a player has committed his third foul in a half - five minutes on the touch line. Some players make a living by knowing how to foul consistently without them being cardable offenses. This would cut down on that behavior and probably be less subjective since it would be cumulative.
Is this something that might be applied in late-game situations to discourage time-wasting? I rarely see a yellow given in those situations, but I suppose the threat of a 10-minute numerical disadvantage could theoretically cut down on some of it.
Stop changing the game ffs
I mean I am all for experimentation - but can't we get another name than "Sin-Bin" - sounds soo..... dirty ifykwim.
Good idea, but the fact that they are implementing it because refs are getting their feelings hurt is ludicrous. Try to be better at your jobs first, then we'll bring in new rules.
Tired of them changing shit
So what do they do for 10 mins? Jog? Ride a stationary bike? They are going to come back in not warmed up and get injured.
Should be 3 minutes. 10 is too long in this game. Plus what if you have multiple yellows in that 10 minutes?
Just adding more reasons to create controversy. Maybe only do it in a situation where a player from both teams is yellow carded for a single incident. Then it's played as a 10 v 10.
Just fuck off leave the game alone
Stop ruining the game with idiotic new rules!
Yeah brilliant give refs even more power to affect the outcome of games
More subjectivity for the refs to interpret differently every week
I invented this concept at age six in 1998, but no one took it seriously.
So what happens if we get 5 cynical fouls in 5-6 minutes? Minimum number of players is 7. So what then?
This will be bad for Man City… their whole style is based on cynical fouls in the middle of the pitch, or any break
Nah this is just stupid. Refs are shit with 2 cards what they gonna do with 3?!?!
Rodri liked this
Sure this could be a good idea, but the problem with the prem are the refs not the rules. Adding more subjectice rules for the same shit officiating will only make it worse
I think it would work better to have a 5 or 10 minute penalty box for every yellow card. And I would do away with the one game suspension for aggregate, yellow cards.
Seems like pulling a player from the game immediately would keep them from making a lot of “professional fouls” - which, imo, take away a lot of the fun in the game.
So football is becoming a no contact sport!! And now it is becoming rugby or basketball!! What happened to the beautiful game?!!! What has it become?
This will just be a way for refs to avoid giving reds, just watch. Players will get "punished" now for things they do, but not the appropriate punishment half the time. What should be a red will be a sin bin.
Can we just have competent refs instead?
Is this really what they should be addressing?
Uefa and fifa mafia have destroyed football. Fuck this shit
Great news!!!! These prima Donna’s need to be checked. They should also put the divers in the bin for a minimum of 5 minutes. Surely they stop and the game will be better. It’s quite embarrassing to watch them play for a free kick or penalty. Play the game as it’s supposed to played
Why do people insist on trying to re-invent the wheel? Leave the game rules alone, stop putting your ten cents worth in and fucking it up…
