Blue cards to be introduced for football sin-bins

Exclusive: The new card will see players removed from the field for 10 minutes if they commit a cynical foul or show dissent

Ah. "Top-tier competitions will be excluded from initial testing in the professional game in case the protocols require further refinement, but elite trials could still begin as soon as the summer"

So could be load of bollocks then.

Ridiculous.

Whats the yellow card for then??

How many blue cards can be issued at any one time??

Could it become a tactical part of play to entice players on the opposing side to be sin binned?

Will it slow the games down even more?? Extra time being even longer..

From what i've read, poorly thought through in my opinion.

They've done trials and experiments at grassroots and lower league level for many years with this. So its certainly thoroughly tested / and all those issues have been knocked around by refs and leagues in the trials.

Same things it is for today, with the exception of the very specific areas where the blue card is introduced. To give examples, Dunk's straight red for being verbal with a Ref might have been "only" a blue if this new rule existed. The other area blues are being suggested is for deliberate fouls designed to stop a breakaway. Except where it's last-man and a red is mandated, what we often see today is a defender "taking a yellow for the team" cynically and deliberately fouling in order to stop a break. Blue's would be used in these situations.

Would expect the same rules as for reds to apply here.

Doubt it. The article was clear that a blue counts as a yellow as well. Accumulating a blue + a yellow = a red.

Not sure you've read enough then. It looks to me like they're taking a pretty sensible approach with this. Devil is in the detail, of course, but from the article that was posted I don't see anything that screams "poorly thought through".

There needs to be something to stop those "tactical" fouls when a player pulls back someone on a break, so good. A yellow is not enough.

A yellow is enough. They can only do it once and on top of that can not risk anything else for the rest of the game other they are off.

It doesn't need to slow anything down but personally think it would have been simpler just to say ANY yellow warrants 5 mins off the pitch as that would remove many cynical fouls. My only concern would be an increase in 'head injuries' to slow play down so perhaps 5mins for those as well.

Simple answer... you are denying a goalscoring opportunity... so book the player, and then give the free kick from wherever (outside the box) the attacking team want to take it.

Nothing stops a team doing resting a player for 10 mins now….. except the huge disadvantage it would put them in!

Beat me to it.

The idea that a player might commit a foul so they are sin-binned for a rest... :lolol:

If football is in the process of nicking ideas from the egg-chasing, maybe they could introduce the concept of showing proper respect for the referee also

Given this punishment is somewhere between yellow and red, why isn't it an ORANGE card?

Pick those who didn't read the article before commenting... :p.

1. They are talking about properly introducing and enforcing that only the captain can talk to the Ref. Not to mention that one of the specific areas the blue card is for is ... enforcing the showing of proper respect for the ref.

2. The article addresses this. To make sure it is easily distinguishable from the red and yellow. Orange was deemed too likely to cause confusion.

I’ve said for ages, a professional foul that stops a breakaway, should result in a free kick anywhere in the D. This would stop professional fouls overnight, as they would be basically giving the opposition a free kick in a very dangerous position.
