Blue Cards

In Gaelic football they have yellow, red and black cards.

GAA Black Cards​

The black card is a fairly recent addition to GAA sports and how it has been used has developed over the years. Originally, the black card was a soft red where a player had to leave the game but the team did not go down a man. The coach could substitute the player who received the caution.

Now, a black card mirrors the sin bin system popularised by rugby union games. Anyone who receives a black card in GAA events must spend ten minutes on the sideline. This gives the receiving side a disadvantage as they have to play with 14 men on the field instead of the usual 15.

The rule came about after an increasing number of cynical fouls reared their ugly head into hurling and Gaelic football. Cynical fouls are not new to the sporting world, and soccer fans will know all about them. If you have been watching soccer, players would take out the opposition to stop a dangerous attack before it materialised into a goal-scoring chance. These terrible fouls ruin the flow of a game and they often involve little or no attempt to win the ball. However, soccer officials are yet to fully address this issue whereas, GAA sports now have the black card.

Although they introduced the black card into Gaelic sports in 2014, it has not been as effective as we would like. The black card has disappeared from hurling but remains in effect for Gaelic football. If enforced correctly, it will help improve the quality of GAA matches for years to come.

 
What happens if the keeper gets a blue card?
This is how it works in Gaelic football in article above.

They can upgrade the black card in Gaelic football to a red if the player commits another foul. Just like two yellow cards equals a red, two black cards will also see a player ejected from the match. Any player that receives a black and a yellow card will be sent off. Goalkeepers have a special rule where the management can replace them either by using an outfield player or by making a substitution.
 
The majority of the Blue Cards will given to teams outside Elite group....who will commit more fouls in frustration of not being able to control the better players....added to the bias already there from many Refs and from VAR..

ManU and ManC will milk the mutherf√cker !

This crap will just make it worse for smaller clubs......it's a crock of sh*t this PL....and we ALL need to be giving it some Welly.
 
Terrible idea

Can already see dissent by AI is treated differently than by klopp so feels like big club bias will continue

Players shouldn’t be in a sin bin and then come on…need to keep muscles warm to avoid muscle strains.

Cynical teams will slow game down, have injuries etc to waste the 10 mins

Dumb initiative - Prefer advancing the ball ten yards like rugby if there is dissent

black cards ???? never be allowed
 
How about implementing the rules that are already in place and do it impartially. Takei it from there.

Don't add more rules that will also be applied inconsistantly.

Can't even agree on what is handball so what constitutes enough dissent to warrant a blue card, no chance.
 
Works in Rugby where the clock is only running when the ball is in play. In football you would just have a player on the binned players team go down with a 5 or 6 minute injury and the player wont be off the pitch more than 3 or 4 minutes of actual play.

Cant see it working at all.
 
Prompted by another thread mentioning that Neto has been booked several times for dissent (aka “ the Premier League’s gobbiest goalie” :))

What happens if a goalkeeper gets a blue card?
 
As a neophyte that does not have the history, I have thought that some type of "medium" penalty where the player is removed from the game but can be replaced (exists is MLB, NHL, NBA and NFL) would be reasonable.

However, I agree implementation becomes troublesome.

What happens if a goalkeeper gets a blue card?
From the Athletic.

The FA's grassroots guide to sin bins states that goalkeepers are covered under the same law as other players and can be sin-binned. The guide says: “Like when a goalkeeper is sent off, any other player must go in goal but the team must remain with 10 players.

So could you bring on a sub keeper for the ten mins without using up a substitution?

Hard to believe that he outranks Pickford but the stats are there. Neto 4, Pickford 3. As team captain, I suppose Neto has the right to get out there and question calls. Not sure if Pickford is captain. Also, how many were for yapping and how many were for time wasting.
 

Temporary Timed Suspensions – Procedures​



A player temporarily suspended from play will be shown a blue card by the match official and informed that he/she shall be suspended from play for two minutes.

The player is obliged to leave the playing area and remain in a designated ‘sin bin’ area for the required suspension time. Separate ‘sin bin’ areas should be identified for each team. If no designated ‘sin bin’ areas are provided then suspended players should remain in the area where they can be seen by the referee and adjacent to team officials and substitutes.

A player will be informed as to the end of a period of suspension by the referee or match official and invited to rejoin the game. Where barricades are used the players must use the opening onto the playing area.



Temporary Timed Suspensions​



A player is shown the blue card and temporarily excluded from play if he commits any of the following offences:

  • C1 is guilty of unsporting behaviour
  • C2 shows dissent by word or action
  • C3 persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
  • C4 delays the restart of play
  • C5 fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, kick-in, free kick or goal clearance.
  • C6 enters or re-enters the playing area without the referee’s permission or infringes the substitution procedure
  • C7 deliberately leaves the playing area without the referee’s permission outside of a substitution
For any of these offences, an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred. If the offence was committed within the penalty area the indirect free kick is taken from the penalty area line at the place nearest to where the infringement occurred.
