hard disagree.
however there should be reward cards for if you do something really good
Why not use a sin bin? It works in other sports.
I think sometimes referees are reluctant to issue a red card because it would transform the match too much. Worse, they won't hand out a second yellow card, settling instead for a 'talking to.' If they had the orange option they would use it. The sin bin would work, but it's a bit foreign to football. The football tradition has always been that if it's bad enough you get the boot.Quote:

I can't see any downsides and would stop a game being ruined after X minutes by a side losing a player.
how about each yellow card also comes with a 10 minute sin binning
would make some players think twice about those cynical fouls on half way
I would be in favour of a sin bin. It works well in rugby (but then so does TMO) and a soft or incorrect red card ruins games too often.
But penalty tries in Rugby are only awarded for a repeated offence to stop the opposition scoring a particular try, or for a blatant foul to prevent a try and this last one football already has with the last man ruling.Quote:

Football by its nature is different to rugby, it's much easier to put 9 men behind ball and see out a sin bin than it is in rugby (I heard its worth 7 in rugby on average)Quote:

I have always advocated a sin bin approach since the general acceptance of the "professional foul" seems to have crept into the game, especially when a player is pulled down when running close to the penalty area.
In Aussie rules the referees immediately give free kicks to the opposing team if they experience any ill-discipline, often overturning free kicks and giving the other way if players give any verbal abuse or start fighting.
They also have a 50m penalty can is used for kicking the ball away, fighting etc.
I'd like to see some variations of these rules piloted.
The thing with red cards are is depending when you do them depends how harsh the punishment is, when really that's a bit unfair.
If you get sent off for punching someone in the 1st it's a much bigger negative than doing it in the 90th.
Im not sure what the answer is,
penalty goals could work but would only probably happen a couple of times a season as unless it's handball on the line or keeper taking someone out there's no guarantee.
Id quite like to see free kicks inside the box for non obvious goal scoring fouls.
What part of the pitch?Quote:

Hard to score inside box as couldn’t hit over a wall so end up hammering them through crowds of playersQuote:

Why ? Whats the point. The rules need to be simplified not made even more complicated.Quote:

Once that's happened to the referee's satisfaction the t-shirt is removed and the game then continues as normal.
If you take a knee, do you get accused of playing the Race Card?? :hide:
Makes senseQuote:

They should then be allowed to trade cards so see who can get the 'full set'.
AgreedQuote:
