All sin-bins will do in football is make the game boring. Teams that lose a player for 10 minutes will just sit behind the ball in most situations waiting for the player to come back. You'll get time wasting during the 10 minutes as well.

Ultimately refs shouldn't be asked to determine what's a promising attack or not when they can't even get right the basics. Especially not with the punishment of going down to 10 men for a period of time.

Good old IFAB - rather than fixing their last innovations and ensuring greater competence, its time to introduce an entirely new, totally subjective element to be applied by people who still haven't remotely got their heads round the 3 previous law changes....FFS

Just for fun. I myself am of the opinion that the blue card is at least a possibility worth trying. The fact that the card becomes available does not mean that it will be used all the time. This could very well be the "orange card" that would have an impact on the course of the game. Ten minutes is long enough for, for example, tactical changes to be made at the end of matches because of this.

What if goalkeeper receives blue card?
Temporary substitution of 10 minutes?

This whole idea is totally stupid.
First they need to improve quality of refereeing, before any new rules?

FIFA now saying the reporting is premature and inaccurate so hopefully this never sees the light of day at any meaningful level.

Let's hope. Would be a complete disaster - referees can barely issue proper yellows/reds, this will add another layer of complexity to a pool of refs who are mostly sub standard. Additionally, teams who have a player "blue carded" will just sit back in a low block for 10 minutes; it would ruin the game.

10 minutes is far too long, the idea is dumb in the first place, the colour is stupid, there's nothing at all I like about this.

Wait so they cant check unless the flag is up? They always check us even if the flag is not up.
That sequence is over as soon as it goes out to a corner. Then it’s a new sequence. Since Casemiro was offside for the free kick they would check that when the ball is dead. But there’s nothing to check as nothing has happened that VAR would intervene with.

Then they score from the corner and if there’s something to check there they would. I think they checked for offside on Højlund but Cash upheaved it iirc.

Did anyone notice this in the Nottingham-Liverpool game?

When there was 1,5 minutes on the clock in additional time, Paul Tierney whistled a head hit, no foul, neither from the assistant. He showed head hit with his hands as you can see in the screenshot below.

Nottingham had the ball. Tierney went on and didn't give Nottingham the ball even though they had it and were attacking.

Liverpool went on to score in the last second, because of this. If Nottingham would have kept the ball like the rules say, it would have been a draw.

Paul Tierney was born in Wigan, 35 kilometres from Liverpool!!!

These small things is what they strive for, so their bias won't be obvious. Sometimes blatant of course if needed. This is such a tough league that the referees can decide the winner with a few points missed with their biased decisions. Very hard for Arsenal to win it, have to be totally dominant.

Liverpool player didn't come off the pitch, either, as best as I remember. If there's a stoppage for a head injury, shouldn't medical staff come onto the pitch? And if medical staff come onto the pitch, doesn't the player have to leave before he's allowed back on?
 

Arsenal Quotes

Arsenal have always been the club of the people, the streets. Arsenal was one of the first clubs to really have black players, so it did represent the mass of the UK and how London is. I hope people at the club know that and who are they playing for.
