Good riddance. Hate all this fake fawning bollocks, what's so fucking special about them? It's not a fairytale, it's tedious shit.

Sin bin for 10 mins? All for it if it cuts out the cynical fouls that would normally be a yellow but warrant a bit more, stopping short of a red. Maybe "taking one for the team" won't then be viewed with as much seeming approval as it is now.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Have to agree. Going off for 10 minutes should be no more disruptive than going off the pitch for treatment therefore shouldn’t interrupt the game much. Long overdue IMHO, be interesting to see the players behaviour once they realise the cost to their team. Did I read that refs are also going to be mic’d up to explain decisions like rugby? All for that too.

The challenge will be on the ref to manage the 10 mins players are in the sin bin as the penalised team will clearly do everything to slow the game down right, and the ref just adding mins at the end of the game when teams are back up to 11 is going to do nothing.

I may be an aging cynic, but if refs are miked up it will be for the benefit of tv viewers only and not for those in the stadium (in club rugby this is how it works currently). Not sure about blue cards - if 3 or 4 team mates are all screaming dissent at the same time will the ref really reduce the team to 8 or 7 ? Unlikely in my view. I can see the benefit of a “red or yellow review” like they have in rugby for challenges which might be borderline - review helping to get it right while play goes on. I think that dissent should be punished by yellow / red if continued. Why do they need a blue? Otherwise refereeing at grass roots level will become impossible.

Also agree with Riddick on the time management point.

I assume this trialling of a blue card is them holding their hands up that the refs who were supposed to be stricter on cynicism and time-wasting hasn't worked? With that said, there does seem to be a lot less of players kicking the ball away now, which is positive.
It won't happen but i'd love to see us get to a stage where players have much more respect for the officials.

We've had "sin bin" in our Sunday league for years for dissent only. At first it was overused but now it's underused. Refs now tend to just give a yellow for dissent but some don't so all it's achieved really is inconsistency. The game does not need even more inconsistency,surely?

As it's going to be trialled in the FA Cup, we will only see it for one game max!

Crawley have released their accounts. 4 million quid lost in 22/23. That's on the back of 1 million quid plus losses for both FGR and Orient.
Crewe's accounts being released today also I think.

Crawley went bonkers on players then didn't they? Backed by NFT money, or not as it may be.

Yeah, their owners 'Wagmi' are 'owed' those losses, interest free.
