Blue cards for sin-binned players to be trialled by football's lawmakers Ifab
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68246971
Football's lawmakers Ifab are to trial sin-binning players and issuing blue cards, it will be announced on Friday.

Sin-bins have been used at grassroots level for dissent but their use could be extended to cynical fouls as part of a trial.

A player would spend 10 minutes in the technical area after being given a blue card by a referee.

It is not yet clear when the trial will start and which competitions it will involve.
 
Fed up to the back teeth about VAR, I'd have goal line technology and leave the offsides to the linos. And now they want blue cards to further complicate things.
It's a simple game ruined by total over complication, ffs players and crowds have to wait minutes to celebrate a goal.
They're killing the passion/emotion from our game. Nuts.

It’s because of the money.
One wrong decision can cost £thousands. The FA don’t want to be blamed.
I’m not defending it - just saying what I think it is.

The theory is quite sound, any player running up and getting in the refs/officials face runs the risk of a sin bin, maybe that might stop the Fernandes's of this world doing it. If it gives some respect and authority back to the officials, I'm in favour. The issue, as always will be, consistency of application, as it with VAR.
 
No Supcon.
Refs already have the yellow or red to stop players arriving in their face. They just don't use them. Hence the inconsistencies with referees.
Another bloody card ?
May the Lord help us.
It will definitely cause even greater confusion......... shall I give a yellow, should I give a blue, hang on perhaps it's a red.
Honestly, it's ridiculous.

The time has come for football fans to rebel against all of this nonsense because VAR on it's own has made a joke of officiating rules. Why don't we just have a computer running the game and to hell with humans playing any part in the process. I truly question the sanity of all of the changes made to the game since I quit refereeing back in the mid 70s because back in those days there was not the monies involved, as there is today, and that in truth has been the ruination of the sport.

You were a ref? <doh>, that explains a lot <laugh><laugh><laugh>
 
Bad and unnecessary idea
The game has been stopped from flowing since VAR arrived
And the amount of times decisions are still made incorrectly beggars belief

Sin bins have been used for five years at various levels. Have they interfered with the flow of games in the Hellenic league?

At present a player can stop the flow of a game with a foul, stop a promising attack and concede a free kick, frequently a free kick that lacks meaning near the half way line. At present players can stop the flow of a game with a foul, they are expected to, and this behaviour is condoned and encouraged within the game as the tactical foul.

I am completely aware of reasons 'where to foul'. As we went out many moons ago it was ringing in our ears....'if you're going to do him make sure it's on the halfway line'.
Enough of all our yesterday's can you tell me how a referee in the Hellenic differentiates between a yellow and a blue card.
