But where did you get the idea from that refs, players and fans all hated the sin-bins when they were trialled? You've put up two links, one from before the trials even started and one from a couple of months in where every ref is broadly supportive bar one with no mention of fans' or players' views. You're against sin-bins, that's fine, and if refs, players and fans did all hate them then that's going to help your argument but you can't blame me for thinking you've made it up if you can't provide any evidence.
The head of referees, Neale Barry, says the trials have been very positive. There has been a 38% reduction in dissent since the scheme started and the experiment will be extended to more leagues next season.

Ok. I'll be patient, see if you can put it up by the time the World Cup starts (the 2018 one in Russia I mean, not the 2022 one which could be held in a number of Middle Eastern nations).
It's a shame there's so little information about the sin-bin experiment outside of your imagination. Those kind of trials are usually a good indicator of whether rule changes could work at the higher levels of the game and can often throw up surprising results. For example, players at that level used to have to pay a £10 fine if they got a yellow card for dissent but that was scrubbed when the experiment started as dissent was now to be punished with 10 minutes in the sin-bin instead. Some refs were worried that dissent would now increase as there was no financial penalty involved but it turns out that it actually decreased by 38%.
Seems that sin-bins are an effective deterrent from that but obviously we need more information before we can draw any conclusions about their overall impact. Your evidence will help to provide that, share it when you're ready.
Have you dug up that evidence yet?
When he has time Jamie. He’s too busy putting everyone on ignore, and then reminding them they are ignore like it’s going to ruin their day
Being told by BIS that youre on ignore is like being told by Jimmy Saville that you’re not invited to ride in the back of his limousine with him
Could BIS be Jason Mohamed? He blocks everyone on Twitter who has a differing opinion than his.
I don't understand why he has a column. Separate to this, am sure he represents an element of the Welsh psyche but the two articles I have seen (brexit and football world cup) seem to undermine Wales more than anything.
I have known Jason for over 30 years, he is a Spurs fan first, then a City fan (when he wants to be seen), and he has a feeling for Abertawe Town, as that's where he went to uni.
Unfortunately, he has changed for the worst since his MotD & BBC promotions, and forgotten where he came from.
Anyway, will today be the day that BIS comes up with the evidence that he has that all players, fans, referees and everyone else in the world detest sin bins????
