I though they were doing 'orange cards' but not in the top leagues?For cycnical fouls in a 'promising' position
and selected dissent
10 mins sin bin - to be tested next season
Utter rubbish - team down to 10 men, everyone behind the ball for that period, time wasting with the keeper etc.
And - can you imagine VAR? Is it a red or blue...
I can’t think of one sensible thing for the introduction of sin bins. Lots of negatives tho -I wonder why they chose blue. I think a sin bin is sensible. But once again ambiguity of cynical foul / dissent will be an issue.
I wonder how many blues you are allowed. Probably worth taking a few blues for the team.
I haven't seen the ten men behind the ball happen in the Northern League to be fair.I can’t think of one sensible thing for the introduction of sin bins. Lots of negatives tho -
added complexity
more arguments and discussion red/yellow/blue?
the punishment is for the fans who, for 10 mins, have to watch a team get 10 men behind the ball and time waste. Horrible for the game.
it works in Rugby because the odds are stacked against a team with 14 men for 10 mins and almost always concede points. It’s a proper punishment for the offending player’s team.
They can make the timing work easily enough.what about cynical fouls in the opposition half. man city being the masters of. no way are they "blue" carding that
you could just have a player go down "injured" for 10 minutes to use the time up too
it won't work unless the clock stopped for breaks in play for a start
Good shout - does it work well?I haven't seen the ten men behind the ball happen in the Northern League to be fair.
I quite like it. *Ducks for cover*
Sometimes a game is completely ruined by something silly that doesn't warrant a red card, but needs something stronger than a yellow.
