Sin-binning is a sh!t idea. When football players start spear tackling players , punching the opposition unconscious , gouging and feigning injuries by carrying fake blood capsules like rugby then I may start listening to Owens. Until then Im quite happy to leave that cr@p out of the game.

Does Owens want football refs shouting stay onside stay onside as well?

Football has its issues. Looking at the way rugby is reffed isnt the answer.

He was probably just asked the question though and hes entitled to answer it.
You seem to be looking at issues that have been long sorted in reference to rugby.Even that fake blood incident(the only one in its history)was sorted severely but by your inference it seems you think it still goes on.Its funny actually that when you think about it the things that you mention and were sorted only highlights the fact that we have a problem in football thats been around since I can remember, yet the authorities seem uninterested or unable to do something about it and yet you critisise a bloke just for having an opinion.You should have started off with your last sentence and left it at that.
