Don't go thinking that I am some kind of 'oh, look how great and fair and sporting rugby is' type of guy, as I quite frankly hate the game and the fact that a so called 'rugger' player can flip another so called 'rugger' player upside down onto his head in a clear attempt to cripple him for life. However, I think sin bins should be introduced into football with immediate affect.

When a player receives a second yellow he should go to the sin bin for 10 mins, increasing by 10 mins for every subsequent yellow card he receives when allowed back onto the pitch. Straight red cards should be rewarded with 25 mins in the sin bin.

This will solve the problem of matches being completely ruined by red cards.

I can see the following players welcoming this rule: El Hadji-Diouf; Joey Barton; Pepe; Busquests etc.

Think yellow card sin bin...anything that values a red they're off. Rugby players do get sent off the field of play...

The only thing that has always seemed unfair to me is if you get sent off in the first minute of a game you miss virtually 2 games when if you get sent off in the last minute it's only really one.

Firstly let me declare an interest here. I bloody love a good sending off.

Having got that out of the way, I still think it is a crazy idea in football. There is enough cynical fouling, without bringing back the perpetrator after 10 minutes. Also I don't want to see 6 v 7 for the last 10 minutes of a grudge match, plus all the additional stoppages as they slowly jog to the touchline.

How are games ruined by red cards? If a player gets sent off it does not ruin the game. Well, OK, he may have ruined the game from his teammates point of view.

He shouldn't have been such an utter fool.

Got exactly what he deserved. Same as most other red cards. It's part of the game. Sin bins would ruin football for me.

Isn't that what Chamberlaine said when asked if we should put a stop to Nazism?

Personally think it could be a good idea for things that Refs don't book people for but are supposed to. I.e. Man Utd players in the refs face after every free kick etc, bin them for 5 mins. not as harsh as a bookign but might teach them that complaining won't help.

Of course if they simply booked them each time then it would stop after a few games but we knwo thats never gonna happen

That is the answer...get a yellow...sin bin for 15 mins....red off. It would stop a lot of cynical fouls as if you stop an attack and give away a free kick the defence fall back,giving them time to stop another attack,whereas the attack split the defence has an advantage.

Never thought of that.

Easy to fix with bans being dished out in minutes rather than games.

I would trial Sin Bins in the lower leagues and see what happens.

The only thing I would take from Rugby with immediate effect would be stopping the clock for any stops in play.
