Good news IF referees actually use them. Bruno Fernandes will soon learn not to be a complete twat if he gets sin binned every other game.
Smallbone likes to tug a player’s shirt, on the halfway line, as do many other players. Will this come under the heading of a cynical foul to stop an attack from building or will it be restricted to fouls nearer the goal, one wonders? This could become a dog’s dinner with refs having different interpretations of how to apply the cynical foul rule, but it will be fun watching some players being given a blue card and a teammate also then getting one for showing dissent at his mate’s blue card. Also, if you receive a blue for a foul, then you show dissent, can the ref give you a second blue and stretch the sin bin time to 20 minutes? Hopefully they have thought through or the permutations.
At grassroots level 2 sin bins in the same game for the same player means that player is sent off BUT the team can replace that player after the second lot of 10 minutes has elapsed.

Thank goodness us Scots will be allowed to take our bagpipes to games in the summer. I suppose the England fans can take their spoons or whatever the national instrument is.
