They should have the players who received medical treatment taken off for 5 minutes as well , might cut down the amount of fake injuries.
So football is becoming a no contact sport!! And now it is becoming rugby or basketball!! What happened to the beautiful game?!!! What has it become?
Finally, I’m so glad they’re trying this. If they launch it I wonder if Pep will take another sabbatical!
Another “judgment” call for the refs to f up…brilliant!
This is a good idea to attempt to change the culture in football. Punishments for several pretty shitty things are too lax, so players aren’t really disincentivized from doing them. This could help.
But, of course, it depends on good implementation…
This is all we need. Football has been terrible since VAR was introduced. Only gonna get worse as they continue to meddle
No. No. No.
The game is fine the way it is. Start messing with it and adding rules and it will turn into American football.
We don’t even have this in American football lol
Great. I look forward to watching teams grind play to an absolute standstill until their man is back on.
I like the idea of this. We’ve all seen fouls that aren’t quite reds but a yellow just doesn’t seem enough.
But realistically this is a complicated solution to a tiny issue (those fouls happen maybe once every 5 games?).
Instead, the biggest impact will be people arguing why that foul was an orange but this foul only a yellow etc etc.
We need to be making rules simpler, this isn’t the way forward.
So it’s hockey now is it?
let’s get rid of VAR, then we can try some other terrible ideas to ruin a sport that didn’t need fixed.
Just don’t.
tf is a 10 minute sin bin? are they sitting out for 10 minutes and the opposing team has a bit of a power play like hockey? or is it like they have 10 minutes where if they commit another foul they will be sent off? i don’t watch rugby enough to follow
edit: so it’s like a hickey power play. this is dumb. stop changing the game
I don’t see what the point of this is, we already have a punishment for cynical fouls and if you’re team does it repeatedly it should be a red card eventually. All I see this doing is trans forfeiting a player for ten minutes to stop breaks late in the game.
I mean, it beats just throwing yourself on the ground holding your head for 10 minutes at least, but otherwise I agree it’s just kicking the problem further down the road.
As opposed to players stopping breaks late in a game and getting a lesser punishment, which is the current rule.
we already have a punishment for cynical fouls
but we dont though do we otherwise we would not see them happen to any level they happen today.
Awful idea that only adds more of a grey area between the red and yellow card. Can’t help but think that teams against city will also likely be likely to receive more of these decisions as to add to more corruption.
what corruption you weirdo?
if anything city will get punished more as the classic rodri pull back will be a 10 min sinbin
