Sinbin

[City Man]

Friend of mine who knows zilch about football said to me this: why is it that a player who fouls another player amd gets a yellow card that causes the player to go off for treatment doesn't have to go off the pitch for the same length of time?

Sounded like a UEFA rule in the making . Any thoughts?

 

[Kinkybyname]

only if we can call it Sinbad

Your friend; American?

No but I know where you're coming from. I

It's the sort of proposal you could imagine an 'murican coming up with!

 

[dickie davies]

Player gets fouled by much better player then feigns injury so he has to leave the field of play and so does the opponent

 

[flook]

No, just no. Not now, not ever

I spend most of my time in this forums sinbin.

I deserve it most of the time, maybe football could benefit from something similar.

Racist!

Racist!

Americans aren't a race. They're a nationality. Haven't you got some bridges to film?

We are the leaders in the human race!

 

[p.taker]

Yeah, only an American could come up with that. In stark contrast to all the great takes and opinions that are normally presented here on Bluemoon

Used to love those Sinbin the sailor films when I was a kid.

Anything that brings them back I'm up for.

Oh go back to worshipping the orange one that you lot voted to be your messiah

Terrible idea. I'm against anything that gives referees more opportunity to manipulate the outcome of games. Now instead of simply booking all our players for their first tackle every week they can make them leave the pitch for 10 minutes instead. Innocuous foul holding onto a goal lead against Liverpool or Arsenal boom sin bin.

This is obviously a ridiculous idea. But I’ve always been against sin bins in general.

You think there’s a lot of time wasting now? Imagine an extra 30 or 40 minutes per game, where one side or the other is a man short and killing as much time as they can until they’re back up to a full team?
