Blue Cards To Be Introduced

What people seem to be forgetting is that this may actually help eradicate dissent, to a large degree.

You’re considering the rule being applied with the current level of dissent, where as clearly this is as much a deterrent as it is a punishment.

Which is exactly how it’s played out in the non league games I’ve seen with it.

I guess that coooould count as dissent but surely the ref would just realise you're trying too hard and take pity?

The question is what kind of contortionist shape does your ass have to be to be able to fart into a glove box?

That’s not necessary when you can fart out of your mouth like Aceole.

Depends if he's protesting a throw-in or a corner.

This is an initiative to change the way kids treat referees at grass roots level because they've probably seen dissent on television and felt it was fair game to do the same. I understand that but you don't solve that issue by being more dictatorial. You do it with reason and understanding. Good referees manage it. If you're looking for respect at all levels of football for referees, this doesn't heighten respect, it reduces it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps an idea would be to implement it at the grassroots level, where you get abusive pitch-side dads egging their kids on to use the kind of underhand tactics they would because they were never any good at football and growing up had talentless cloggers like Martin Keown as their heroes. I'm not saying sin-bin the kids for having abusive parents - though that would be tempting - but to drive home the point that their dads' aggression might fly in the stands but has no place on the pitch.

The consequences of under 14s and younger going a player down might even help the coach to get the kids to practice a bit of tactical/defensive discipline now and then.

And you'd get respect for the referee in at the ground floor, instead of trying to discipline fully grown men who've grown up seeing this sort of behaviour as a completely normal way of trying to gain a competitive edge - because that's what most dissent is about, trying to get into a ref's head to influence the next decision.

In long games I imagine some players will purposely do it to take a rest

Also Can you warm up in this sin bin ? Or stay stretching? May cause more injuries if not

Assuming a player in the sin bin can’t be subbed
