And about time. Blue cards.

Blue cards to be introduced into football for sin-bins under Ifab trials

Plans to introduce blue cards to send players to a sin-bin are to be unveiled by Ifab

The professional foul appears to go unpunished. Hopefully this will solve it.

I remember when football was a simple game, for the working man to enjoy on a Saturday afternoon.

Dear Fifa

Please stop buggering about with football.

Thanks

Everyone

Rules already in place, just use them..

Need to get their house in order regarding VAR before they start introducing something else

 

[Diego]

Horrendous

 

[dooderooni]

It won't work simply because it'll be abused and manipulated by the players. The laws need to be simplified and the judgement calls removed wherever possible.

 

[TeaCider]

Always wanted a sin bin, but the way refereeing has went with VAR has made me reconsider.

 

[Merlin]

What a silly idea

 

[Muttley]

Can we have a don't know let's see how it works in the trial option.

That

 

[Rofesleg]

So that's Red, Yellow, White & Blue cards now.
Cool.

Wonder how many minutes will be spent every MOTD discussing whether the ref should have given a blue card or not. And whether VAR should have overturned it. Etc.

They are F***ing destroying football.

Feels like Americans.. trying to join in and just ruining stuff

 

[Diego]

Pathetic. Brutal idea

 

[sweet_left_foot]

It's so negative. How about a green card for not diving that links to goal widening technology

 

[RavsDad]

Utter and complete waste of time invented by faceless individuals. It will lead to multiple periods of 10 minutes where the affected team set up a low block and waste time to prevent any football being played.

 

[FabioPorkpie]

I’m astonished that 7 people on this forum think it’s a good idea.
Absolute lunatics.

 

[bencha]

Unfortunately my interest in football has been less as I get older. Blue cards will just accelerate my road to coffee shops with my wife on a Saturday afternoon.

 

[Juninhoburger]

Stupid idea, you'll just get teams sticking 10 men behind the ball whenever they have a player in the sin bin, it'll slow the pace of the game right down
