They should introduce a blue swearing card with a £500 fine for every one given.

Totally pointless as others have stated, but why get a pat on the back for kicking the ball out of play for a player to receive treatment, if the injury was serious the referee would (should) have stop play anyway.
What next a green card for not diving, telling the ref what a good decision he has just made.
How many green cards would have been awarded to Doncaster for allowing Bury to score.

No, I think it's still a yellow for sarcasm.

I can think of a few managers who would put any recipient of a green card straight onto the transfer list.

Should have been a pink card so no male would want one.

I thought this was an Easy 10 wind up. I'm slightly disappointed it wasn't.

What's wrong with the old system of a Gold Star and a House Point?

Perhaps refs will be given flashing blue cards next season, for those players, particularly wingers, who run too fast

I would prefer an orange card for the sin bin to keep with the colour scheme.

Also there would be more drama in the stands (especially upper west) with supporters not knowing if the card was red or orange as the player left the pitch.

Absolutely hate the idea. There'd have to be a pretty good reason to introduce any kind of third card into the game, and this most definitely is not one.

If they're really that intent on rewarding fair play and compiling a list of those that do the most positive acts, why doesn't the ref just write down the player's name in his book and submit the names at the end of each match? Would take far less time and without the whole ridiculous showmanship of pulling out a card. Having said that, I still don't think even that is worth it. Just start properly penalising simulation and the like.
