Blue cards to be trialled for sin-bins | IFAB postpones introduction (pg13)

Just another way to control the outcome of the game!

Sounds like a terrible idea to me. Why do they keep messing with the game?

VAR hasn’t stopped us so expect more of the same until the natural order is restored!

Just Fuck off with this shite, idiocy like this makes me more likely to stop bothering, it will be misused and abused by both snide players and our incompetent refs who are strugling with the constant messing with the games rules aleeady

The sooner the Premier League and their influencers fuck off, or are brought to their knees, the sooner football will be spontaneous again, for the fans, not the manipulators.

taking one for the team, by shirt-pulling, and deliberate attempts to injure opponents on a rotation basis so the yellow cards dont become red, needs eradicating. Fergies lot had it off to an art, and the grey "subjective" area gives too much for ref's to hide behind. Mobbing the ref, another fergie tactic, could be wiped out if it was made clear that it can be punished and will be. The level of punishment must go as far as points deduction so that clubs will have to play their part. Amateur refs have been at the sharp end of this, to the extent they have packed it in altogether. Blue cards are not a yank import, shithousery is rare in the NFL as the scrutiny is much greater, and the punishment likely to be financial, fines often substantial.This thread has reached "match day thread" levels of piss-boiling, unsurprising as it involves "changes" ...

Blue cards to be introduced..


Footballers could be shown blue cards and sent to a sin-bin for dissent and cynical fouls under plans to be unveiled by the body that decides the laws of the game.

Sitting alongside the current yellow and red cards, a blue card would result in a player being removed from the field of play for 10 minutes. At risk of muddying the palette, there will also be the possibility to mix colours. If a player returns from the sin-bin and receives another blue card, they would also be shown a red card and be permanently dismissed from the game. A combination of one blue and one yellow, meanwhile, would also make a red.



‘Nowhere near good enough’: Premier League admits VAR needs to improve

The recommendations are set to be made by the International Football Association Board (Ifab) on Friday ahead of trials across competitions.

The innovation is part of a concerted attempt by powerbrokers across international football to improve “participant behaviour” in the game, after a rise in on-field altercations. There is a commonly held belief that such behaviour trickles down into spectator behaviour and incidents in grassroots sport with real life consequences for players and referees.

Why ruin a perfect game?

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm two blue cards equals a sending off a blue card and a yellow card equals a sending off ,probably a good idea in principle but I’m already thinking of the manipulation that could come into play it’s a no for me ..

Premier league not involved.

Custodians of the game hell bent on ruining it as usual.

More legitimised cheating and outcome fixing. It's almost admirable - just a bit obvious. Game is descending into a wrestling style result area.
