They combine to become a green card and you get forced permanent residency in the USA.
Blue Cards to be introduced which will send players to the Sin Bin
- Thread starter RedRocket9908
- Start date
It won’t work unless they introduce a stop start clock too. Teams will just find innovative ways to time waste and run down the clock. I was at a GAA match recently, someone got a black card (essentially the same thing) and one of his teammates soon after went down with an “injury” for 3 minutes, got up, took a swig from a waterbottle while glancing at the stadium scoreboard clock and then went down for another minute or 2. It was ridiculous
This is going to feck up the game so much more. The refs are petulant as is. I shudder to think how Anthony Taylor and the like will abuse this power to tilt a game. At least with Yellow’s and Red’s the lines are a lot clearer in comparison. “Dissent” or “cynical foul” is far too ambiguous and will guarantee that Refs will have more power than before. Sigh.
Absolutely this. Ridiculous idea.
Jesus, City might have to actually learn how to defend without constantly fouling. Might end up in the Championship if they're not careful.
Why can't they just leave shit alone?
But, the player getting blue-carded has to pick the card from a deck and if it’s blue with a stripe they get an extra player for 10 minutes.
I've been playing professional football for 12 years and for nine years there were no rule changes, the past three years there have been a lot. I don't know why; football is such a nice game.
Another innovation that will lead to more time wasting, more conservative play and less football being played over the 90.
They'll be changing golf next Gareth.
Ok, so cynical fouls and foul language as determined by the ref...can really see how consistently this will be applied given their current track record!
What happens if you’re colourblind?
This is going to be awful, Jesus christ, just leave our sport alone
This will go well. How dumb are they? It's already too nuanced and there are too many grey areas, so they've added another one.
I think they should implement a rainbow card system:
Red card - off you go, early bath for you
Orange card - you’re a gnat’s bollock away from being sent off.
Yellow card - caution
Green card - also known as the Michael Oliver card. If given to a United player, automatically converts to red. For all other teams, converts to yellow. If given to a Liverpool player, a public apology will be offered.
Blue card - sin bin for cynical fouls
Indigo card - bin sin for players who display unprofessional behaviour whilst in the sin bin. Later converted to a yellow if behaviour persists.
Violet card- opposite of red card. If a team shows great sportsmanship, allow an extra player on for ten minutes.

I wonder if the colour is inspired by Man City seeing as they're one of the worst offenders for professional fouls when teams break against them.
Would prefer referees to just clamp down on repeat offenders of professional fouling and get their yellow and red cards out rather than trying to over complicate the beautiful game with sin bins.
Not a fan of this at all. When's it due to come into play?
Can we sort out the handball rule first maybe?
If they're going to start over complicating the rules with more things referee's can misinterpret we might as well just let AI ref the games moving forward and just have a bloke on the pitch as the messenger.

Hate this
Terrible idea
Sensible improvement. There is a clear need to have something in between yellow and red cards. Next change accidental hand fouls to indirect free kicks or equivalents.
If Onana gets a blue card then who goes in goal? Maguire?
I'm actually not opposed to a sin bin style card being introduced at some point but this just isn't the time. As it is, VAR is still crap in it's utilisation and there still isn't real clarity over what warrants a yellow or red card. Adding a new card to the fold is just a terrible decision for the time being. Fix the former three things first and then let's look at sin bin systems.
Was going to ask this. What happens if a GK gets a blue card and goes out for ten minutes.
That could be quite funny, where you have to nominate an outfield player to go in goal.
“Tactical fouls” are one of my least favorite things about the game, and that includes all the diving and rolling about. I am all for them being punished more harshly
Or in other words, they feel teams are willing to take a yellow card if they can get away with certain things, so the punishment should be raised for those "certain things" so teams think twice about engaging
My issue with this is that the determination of "certain things" is arbitrary and biased. Which goes back towards my initial post about "yay more counters", which historically this topic has always revolved around. Plus I think it is excessive punishment to leave a team a man down for 10 minutes for the specific offenses being mentioned.
And, do you really want VAR getting involved more in the game than it is today?
John O'Shea was born in the wrong era, he'd be a £150m player now
They just won't stop trying to ruin the game.
If you're making teams be down to 10 more frequently, then you'll just be making more games more boring as teams just defend and time waste their way through 10 minutes periods. It's daft.
Should we get rid of the red card then as well?
This is the reason some red cards are circle.
See this won’t happen. Instead, refs will book opposition for dissent because they’re moaning that city players have got away with it.
Excellent idea. If two players are given blue at the same time, they play rock paper scissors to see who goes off.
They commit the least fouls in the league

Finally football is starting to listen to me
All right buddy, 6 of Clubs for you!
No they don't, they just get away with more due to absolutely shite refereeing.
And other teams get fouls given for perfect tackles.
I can't wait for the day they introduce a multi-ball system.
Where did he say that?
A red card is an actual proper disadvantage for good reason.
A blue card, for something left up the referees discretion which can be given out 20 times a match if he pleases is just fecking stupid.
Bomb ball is the best idea. You have one bomb ball sat in those little throw in cones, it can enter the match at any point but nobody knows which ball it is. Once it feels first contact, it starts a 2 minute timer to boomtime.
So just get rid of red cards for the last 10mins? Same (il)logic
