Sin Bins to be trialled

More nonsense from the powers that be.

They can’t even get the rules they keep changing enforced properly so why not introduce a load of stupid ones that are pointless - boss idea.

I’ve hated all that “orange” card talk from spitty and the rest of the sky knobheads ever since they uttered the garbage - it’s either a booking or a red card, not something else that we can sin bin players for.

This is basically the authorities having a little go at necrophilia with the corpse of football - they killed it years ago.
 

They'll introduce it last game of the season when we need to avoid defeat to stay up.

96th minute after they added on 4 minutes of additional time and Pickford will get sin binned for no explainable reason. Dyche doesn't like subs so refuses to bring on a new goalkeeper, we concede to a Michael Keane own goal after he passes it backwards forgetting that there is no goalkeeper in nets.

Relegated Sky and the Premier League made up.
 
Basically another tool to rig the deck.
Mad isn't it. This could really go some way to evening up scores, especially since referees don't need to answer to anybody or suffer any real consequences to any of their mistakes.

Need a Sky team to grab a goal? Just sin bin a few of the opposition players for 'dissent'.

Imagine that! Liverpool two down in a crucial game, referee could get easily just award an absolutely ridiculous free kick to them, knowing that the opposition side would be aghast and questioning his decision making, thus giving him free reign to sin bin as many of them as he pleases.

Are we going to see 11 vs 6 or 7 players at some point? The way Liverpool have crowded around referees (not just them but to make a point) with van Dijk, Henderson, Arnold and Robertson in recent years... would they have been made to suffer?

Like you say, just another tool to fix the games.

Why don't they just do what is tried and tested in rugby? I guess because that would make it far more difficult to decide the outcome of games.
 
Feck me, if they introduce sin bins Everton's will need a lot of seats in it. They'd be made up having us down to 8 men for long periods of the game, in fact, they'd probably change the rules of the game and allow games to go on without 7 or more players, just so they could sin bin a few more of our players if they needed to.
That's the problem, too many rule changes. Referees can't keep up with them and VARs forget the reason they were introduced. Clear and obvious errors do not take five minutes to spot.
 

It’s not being brought into the PL just yet, the trial would be way down the pyramid at level 4-5 and GR where a lot of the behavioural problems happen

Yes.

I remember seeing a game in the 90s at Bognor FC where they were trialling "kick-ins" instead of throw-ins.

Bloody hilarious, most (not very bright) footballers got all confused and upset. Refs and players begged for it to be dropped.
 
I can't wait to see the stats on this. Another tool that will be used to help the sky teams.

5 subs - benefits the bigger, more talented squads
timewasting, time added on - We saw Utd time wasting and nothing, yet teams clinging on will be forced to endure much more time
VAR - we already know just how badly it's being used

Now this, sky team struggling against a "smaller" team, the smaller team resorting to time wasting, little fouls, anything to stop them. Suddenly down to 10 men for 10 mins....

I hate modern football.
