      Let’s try and ruin football even more

      God you all are so stuck on tradition. Change is ok. The sport isn’t perfect.

      The ten minute sin bin rule works great in rugby for yellows. I’ve thought for a long time it should be brought into football. Provided they mic up the refs and allow us to hear their deliberations.

    It’s not a bad idea in principle, but it’s just another way for officials to make inconsistent decisions.

      It’s not really another way though is it? Or rather, or it’s not adding more decisions to be made. Previously it was “Do I give this person a a yellow or nothing for saying that to me” and now it’s “Do I give this person an orange or nothing for saying that to me”.

    Not sure about the sin bin thing before I hear more but one thing I think Football has needed for a long long time is allowing only the captain to approach the referee.

    It’s frustrating to watch when a foul or something happens and then you get half the pitch sprint over to the ref to try and influence him into making some kind of decision.

    Having the ref’s micced up so you can hear a conversation between them and the captain would make for good viewing whilst also improving the overall game I think.

      Also the new trend of when a foul is given all the opposition players nonchalantly run over or next to the ball to stop a quick free kick. So frustrating. In rugby that free kick would be advanced 10 yards.

    This is class, would rather them do it for professinal and intentional fouls that dont quite equate to a red but a yellow is not enough

      Biggest issue with those fouls is that the rules currently only caution players if advantage isn’t played.

      So defenders can blatantly impede an attack and impact it heavily, but if attackers keep the ball and a free kick isn’t given to there is no punishment.
