The Football Association will trial 'sin bins' in the lower leagues of English football from next season. The FA plans to introduce what it calls "temporary dismissals" in England's seventh tier and the leagues below. They will only apply to yellow cards shown for dissent, and will see players leave the field for 10 minutes. It will also be tested in Sunday League and both male and female youth football, with the FA keen to canvass opinion from across the game. The seventh tier of English football is one below the National League North and South leagues. More than 1,000 clubs received emails over the weekend asking if they were willing to be part of the pilot process. Clubs are normally charged a £10 fine for each yellow card but the FA will not be charging this administration fee for those that participate.
What problem are we trying to solve here? Again and again we see these seemingly random changes to football's rules with no clarity on why. There are real issues with the game that go ignored while they keep messing about with daft stuff like this.
When they apply it to the Premier League the game will have to be abandoned after 15 minutes 'cos each team will have most of their players in the "bin". No respect for the referee. Video evidence should be used even after the "event". Rashford diving ( oh yes he did ) one match ban. Could go on but time for a cuppa.
That's the daftest rule if the player is booked retrospective punishment can't be issued. This should be scrapped.
Refs should be able to sin bin any player swearing at them! How many times do ya see big club players getting away with it? Just bin the bastards and hope they concede whilst they're off the pitch!
They're already able to send them off if they want to. They just choose not to. There isn't a lack of available punishment options. Fixing a problem that doesn't exist by introducing further complications is stupid.
I think the main aim is to shorten lists like this... No. Match Week Date Player Team Match Time of Red Cards Given Final Results 1 01 13/Aug/16 Ben Watson Watford Southampton vs Watford 76' minute 1-1 2 02 21/Aug/16 Harry Arter Bournemouth West Ham vs Bournemouth 77' minute 1-0 3 05 17/Sep/16 Jake Livermore Hull Hull vs Arsenal 40' minute 1-4 4 05 17/Sep/16 Nolito Man City Man City vs Bournemouth 86' minute 4-0 5 05 18/Sep/16 Adnan Januzaj Sunderland Tottenham vs Sunderland 90' minute 1-0 6 06 24/Sep/16 Ahmed Elmohamady Hull Liverpool vs Hull 29' minute 5-1 7 08 15/Oct/16 Granit Xhaka Arsenal Arsenal vs Swansea 70' minute 3-2 8 08 15/Oct/16 Aaron Cresswell West Ham Crystal Palace vs West Ham 75' minute 0-1 9 10 29/Oct/16 Ander Herrera Man United Man United vs Burnley 68' minute 0-0 10 11 05/Nov/16 Steven Pienaar Sunderland Bournemouth vs Sunderland 55' minute 1-1 11 12 19/Nov/16 Papy Djilobodji Sunderland Sunderland vs Hull 89' minute 3-0 12 12 19/Nov/16 Winston Reid West Ham Tottenham vs West Ham 90'+6' minute 3-2 13 13 27/Nov/16 Miguel Britos Watford Watford vs Stoke 90' minute 0-1 14 14 03/Dec/16 Sergio Agüero Man City Man City vs Chelsea 90'+6' minute 1-3 15 14 03/Dec/16 Fernandinho Man City Man City vs Chelsea 90'+7' minute 1-3 16 14 03/Dec/16 Roberto Pereyra Watford West Brom vs Watford 84' minute 3-1 17 16 13/Dec/16 Phil Jagielka Everton Everton vs Arsenal 90'+3' minute 2-1 18 16 14/Dec/16 Marko Arnautovic Stoke Stoke vs Southampton 23' minute 0-0 19 17 17/Dec/16 Jamie Vardy Leicester Stoke vs Leicester 28' minute 2-2 20 18 28/Dec/16 Nathan Redmond Southampton Southampton vs Tottenham 57' minute 1-4 21 19 31/Dec/16 Virgil van Dijk Southampton Southampton vs West Brom 89' minute 1-2 22 20 02/Jan/17 Sofiane Feghouli West Ham West Ham vs Man United 15' minute 0-2 23 20 02/Jan/17 Fernandinho Man City Man City vs Burnley 32' minute 2-1 24 20 03/Jan/17 Simon Francis Bournemouth Bournemouth vs Arsenal 82' minute 3-3 25 22 21/Jan/17 Granit Xhaka Arsenal Arsenal vs Burnley 65' minute 2-1 26 24 04/Feb/17 Jeff Hendrick Burnley Watford vs Burnley 6' minute 2-1 27 25 11/Feb/17 Sam Clucas Hull Arsenal vs Hull 90'+1' minute 2-0 28 26 25/Feb/17 Michail Antonio West Ham Watford vs West Ham 86' minute 1-1 29 26 25/Feb/17 Ashley Barnes Burnley Hull vs Burnley 90'+2' minute 1-1 30 27 04/Mar/17 Andrew Surman Bournemouth Man United vs Bournemouth 45' minute 1-1 31 29 18/Mar/17 Tom Huddlestone Hull Everton vs Hull 73' minute 4-0 32 29 18/Mar/17 Phil Bardsley Stoke Stoke vs Chelsea 90'+5' minute 1-2 33 31 04/Apr/17 Miguel Britos Watford Watford vs West Brom 65' minute 2-0 34 31 04/Apr/17 Ashley Williams Everton Man United vs Everton 90'+3' minute 1-1 35 32 09/Apr/17 Sebastian Larsson Sunderland Sunderland vs Man United 43' minute 0-3 36 33 15/Apr/17 Sam Byram West Ham Sunderland vs West Ham 70' minute 2-2 37 34 22/Apr/17 Gastón Ramírez Middlesbrough Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough 20' minute 4-0 38 34 22/Apr/17 Oumar Niasse Hull Hull vs Watford 25' minute 2-0 39 34 27/Apr/17 Marouane Fellaini Man United Man City vs Man United 84' minute 0-0
Maybe they think if refs can sinbin a player for swearing etc. they will be more likely to do it as refs dont want to send players off for it. It would be 'easier' for a ref to sin bin someone.
I think the refs would have the balls to sin bin rather then send off? That's why they choose to ignore it! They're scared of the fall out from the big clubs! Its no surprise we get 14 ones against us! I can't imagine a top 6 club getting that many? Sin binning is an easier option for them if have thought? But like you say maybe they'd still ignore it?
