Blue cards
Views: 1051
Football's lawmakers Ifab are to trial sin-binning players and issuing blue cards, it will be announced on Friday.
The PL have already ruled out being part of the trial.
The EFL haven't ruled either way yet but it's probably gonna be semi pro level leagues I'm guessing to start with.
Tum Sills says it has had a positive impact in the league he manages in.
Thoughts?

A red card is all that's needed to put a stop to referee abuse. Would stop it in its tracks!

Bit confused by it.
What types of offence get a blue card vs yellow card?
What happens if you get two blue cards? Does that equal a red?

Re: Blue cards

will this mean another league Official to be on the touch-line to control the sin-bin.
maybe if the football league started to look at the standard of refs and linesman which is atrocious and
save the money on V.A.R that still makes wrong decisions every week due to the idiots looking at their screens do not have a clue on the rules of football.
the standard of F.A Officials would improve the game if they were trained at a higher standard.

No, the fourth official would monitor it in conjunction with the ref.

Good question. But maybe it does. Didn't realise tíl France v Ireland last weekend that two yellows make a red - and a yellow is a sin binning. I'm aware it's different criteria tho.

Mostly designed to reduce and punish dissent (in a stronger way than just a booking).
But as I said further down in the thread, there is no need for a new card, just do what they already do in the lower levels of NL and give a yellow, but with it also carrying a ten minute sin bin.

I'm not opposed to it, but want to see some clearer guidance.
E.g. what happens in mass dissent, players surrounding the ref etc. If a team gets say, a red card and 3 players with blue cards, can the match carry on?
Lots of questions at the moment, but I think it would be enough of a deterrent to improve the game.

Be an interesting scenario if it was a keeper that got sin binned as well.

Stick an outfield player in goal or make a sub.
And then make another one when the 10 minutes are up otherwise you'd have 2 keepers on the pitch.
The penalised 'keeper wouldn't do it again.

Anything that might attract more people to refereeing is a good thing. If successful, hopefully this would translate into an overall higher standard of officiating across the professional leagues.
On a side note, SE would be blue-carded every other game.

I think it will mean a lot of teams down to 10 men will waste time, to run down the clock. It works in rugby because the clock stops during breaks in play.

Players will learn to not be cunts, and it'll make referees jobs easier in the long run.

They've been around at lower levels of the pyramid for a while. A lot of extra pressure on the referees as there are a number of variables to remember, but apparently it has cut down on dissent.

Aye, I watch a fair bit of Spartan South Midlands where it is used and it is quite good.
The first match after the trial started led to two players being sin binned within minutes of each other, but you rarely see it used at all now, so I think the players have cut down on the dissent.
They don't have a blue card though (and no idea why such a thing is needed), they get a normal yellow but are also sent to the bench, so any second yellow after they return and they are off, same as normal.

They're sent to the bench? I imagined they'd be kept out the way away from the bench.

Put them in a cage on the East. The mascots get to fire a high strength water cannon on them (for an extra £25 on the package price, of course)

Something worth borrowing from rugby. Have had experience of it in Sunday league too and it works well there.
A different colour card is over complicating things. If you get a yellow (for any reason) you go in the sin bin. Two yellows make a red as per usual. Simple.

You wouldn't be allowed to until the sin bin period had elapsed.

Wouldn?t make any difference. 10 minute sin bin from when they leave the pitch and then can be subbed once the time has elapsed.

I can see refs giving up in their droves. The amount of ship they get already, people will be on their backs about this as well now. Why do they bother?

Re: Blue cards

The standard of refereeing is in a constant state of decline. I wonder if it is partly due to technological changes/interference.
I definitely think technology has allowed refs to be more wishy washy as they know there is a safety net there for them. Interestingly on a Sunday morning I see referees who will try to rule with an iron fist and an ?I?m the ref and I said so,? attitude and they?re the ones who get the least respect. Those who are transparent with the players and explain why they?re making the decisions they make always seem to be respected.
There will always be people willing to referee. They might not always be competent as we see with increasing regularity however.

There's so much inconsistency too. Was watching West Ham v Arsenal and fouls that would be a yellow card at 1-1 were let off because they were 6-0 down, so it didn't really matter.

Power
Or because they simply love football but can't play to the standard they'd like.
Or because they realise without them, there'd be no football and it's vital to a community.
One of the above.
