Ten-minute sin-bins for dissent: plan to tackle misbehaviour

Football’s lawmakers are to consider trials of sin-bins for dissent in professional competitions and adopting rugby’s rule where only the captain can approach the referee, as part of a drive to tackle

    It’s a terrible idea. Deal with dissent with yellow or red cards. I know some people push for sin bins in football but the game will be awful. Teams down to 10 will just time waste and play act until the 10 minutes is up.

    Playing the game at a very low level (but in the official football pyramid in England, we’ve had sin bins for dissent for years.

    It works great at our level, and I’m interested to see how it translates to professional football.

    I don’t think anyone really wants to see someone sent off for dissent, this gives the referee a softer option for enforcement.

      Hell I think sin bins for other infractions would actually help football. One of the biggest problems with the game right now is refs being afraid to make a big call. Give us a sin bin between yellow and red and suddenly many of those “big calls” become easier for a ref to make. They aren’t affecting an entire game, they are rightfully punishing someone for 5-10 minutes.

        Imagine how city would have to cope if a tactical foul+yellow also carried a 5-minute sin bin

    I wonder how many years we are away from AIR (AI Ref) which will do all on-field officiating objectively. Penalty decisions, fouls, handballs - an AI model trained with all of the millions of hours of footage we have could eliminate the human factors from officiating these things completely. What will the players do? Complain to a computer monitor?

    If we’re going to import practices from other sports, then I would suggest a tennis-style three appeals system.

    Therefore, when a ref yellow cards a player because an opponent tripped themselves up, this can be immediately rescinded (see also recent Eze yellow).

    Sin Bins should replace yellow cards, they are fucking useless IMO.

    Best example Euro final Saka is almost through on goal and Chilleni drags him down, result yellow card. That is just stupid a free kick from there is pretty useless too. There is no punishment for the crime. And refs refuse to give some yellow cards esp in the first 10 -15 mins. So a foul deemed a yellow at 90th min is not at min 5, because they need to keep all players.

    And punishment for accumulation of yellow cards is again ridiculously stupid as it is. Oh you have 5 yellows take a day off, and even if he is player that will be missed terribly the advantage goes to team that wasnt at the end of any of his yellow card fouls.
