Exactly/ - and sin bins will be abused in someway .I could've sworn it already was? I remember a period where refs and captains would wave away other players before interacting. Yet another initiative that's tried and failed?
It's those fouls where I'd exactly like to see a harsher punishment.Looks kind of confusing to me. I'm also puzzled why it's only for dissent?
Seems to me that there are a lot of situations where a player takes a "professional foul" to stop an attack and gets a yellow. But in the context of the game, the team that was fouled sees virtually no benefit from the yellow. a 10-minute sin bin would actually be a nice medium between being expelled from the rest of the game (red), and nothing (yellow).
This is exactly why I'm scared of any rule changes now. It seems to be disproportionately applied to our detriment.So I’m guessing we will be playing most of the season with 10 men when it starts
Aaaah. The return of the classic inappropriate use of "of which".If we had sin bins (of which is not a bad Idea if it avoids a booking), players like Harry Arter would spend the whole game sat on the bench soon after kick-off.
I like the sound of thisI've been observing 'sin bin' events this season at the the local non - league grounds ... They often stay in the bin for a lot longer than is planned...the refs tend to forget them.
And.. different refs have varying opinions on what warrants 'sin bin'.
Often the 'sinners' end up in a punch-up with the opposition bench...and the crowd sometimes join in...it's hilarious.
But then we all have to live with that well known proviso in the rule book- “provided that if the player is an AFC Bournemouth player….”. As in - accidental handball ricocheting off the chest hitting the defender’s elbow in the box, no penalty “provided that if the player is an AFC Bournemouth player it shall be deemed intentional and worthy of a penalty (subject to agreement of Micah Richards)”.This is exactly why I'm scared of any rule changes now. It seems to be disproportionately applied to our detriment.
Handball changes, VAR application and dissent crackdown have all been a net benefit to opposition with their biased application. A sin bin would just mean that referees could give us a dreadful decision and then sin bin a couple of players for reacting.
As an aside does the referee need to keep track of the number of sin bins are well as yellows with the two interacting with each other? Can't see anyone losing track of that!
The other element in hockey is if you go in for a 2-minute penalty and the opposition scores, you come out of the box immediately.Is it 10 minutes of the ball in play, or 10 minutes from when sent to the bin.
I can see sides parking the bus and time wasting for 10 minutes just watching the clock.
But I do think there has to be something done to the petulant kids out there screaming at referees.
Some good points there tbf .

Would just be another tool to time waste.
There will be an “injury” for 2/3 minutes as an example.
