Blue Cards to be introduced which will send players to the Sin Bin

[11101]

By that logic giving a player a yellow card for any foul, or for excessive celebration, or any other offense on the big feck off list I posted, does nothing, as it punishes them weeks down the line.

And it's not true that it isn't a punishment in the immediate. You become less aggressive as any subsequent mistake gets you sent off.

And the stakes are higher in knockout competitions. No player wants to miss a final or semi final due to accumulated yellows.

A yellow carded Rodri or Fabinho opens the game up for the opposition more, they'd take that going into the game.

If you are the last man an attacker has a what? 50% chance of scoring? Foul him and you're off with a 3 game ban. If there's a great counter with a maybe 30% chance of a goal, you're essentially free to intentionally stop the attack. The gap between the two is too large.

A yellow was all that was needed when these occurrences were infrequent and accidental but now teams have turned it into a tactic and it needs stopping because its fecks the game up.

And imagine getting a blue right before half time: your player would have to serve the few minutes of stoppage time and then start the second half off the field for the remainder. It’s going to suck so much fecking ass it’s unbelievable.

“Last man” is not part of the laws, it’s DOGSO.
refs should give yellows when it happens.

It's essentially the same thing.

1. The probability of scoring isn't that high
2. The definition of a great counter is too vague and dependent on many variables. The ref isn't the best person to gauge this probability
3. I wouldn't mind a computer computing this probability of scoring and gifting the robbed team a shot that has an equal probability of scoring. Same for penalties by the way... The mathematician in me is excited, while the football fan in me is horrified at such an idea

It really isn’t.

Brendan Roger's saying if they introduce a blue card to Scotland they'll have to introduce a green one too

Just hold the blue and yellow up together.

 

[kouroux]

feck this blue card nonsense. They should focus on rescinding yellow cards in-game like the one Casemiro received So many wrong with football already, it's like IFAB wanna wreak more havoc

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Would Casemiro have got a Blue Card for his "foul" yesterday? and Mainoo too? 'cos that would have been absolutely ridiculous... twice.

Someone make this make sense

I'm usually not a fan of the idea that "the game isn't broke so don't fix it", but proposed changes should be carefully applied after rigorous evaluation. And it is clear that this wasn't thought about at all

 

[adexkola]

I was actually surprised by this.

 

[RatPack]

I was actually surprised by this.

For me not that surprising as this is yellow cards for tactical fouls

Had it been tactical fouls in a game we would most likely have seen Man City on top. But with all teams Guardiola have coached he has managed to teach his teams to make the tactical fouls as soon as you loose the ball before a counter is really started and thereby no yellow card.

This is the tactics Barcelona have had for the last 15-20 years and Guardiola have used it will all the teams he has coached.

 

[Stig]

If we’re taking ideas from rugby then mic’ing up referees should be the main one.

Absolutely this .
And I totally support the blue card for dissent and professional fouls.

 

[mintyred]

So my goalkeeper question has been answered and that alone doesn't work. Also, there are so many blue card offences in the game right now so half the players would be off the pitch early on. What happens if players get into handbags? would we have 4 or 5 players in the sin bin?

Overall it adds more subjetivity to the game that we don't need. It's only being implemented to avoid the real problem which is weak refs. If refs were stronger then they wouldn't need to introduce things to "help" them.

Football's rule makers are set to approve sin-bin trials - but an idea to use blue cards is likely to be ditched.

The International Football Association Board (Ifab) will discuss the plans at its annual general meeting at Loch Lomond on Saturday.

These bureaucrats just seem so out of touch with the game, and true stakeholder like managers, fans, players never seem to have their opinions canvassed.

Leave football alone. Please, Jesus fecking christ, just leave it alone

Aye, can't believe these bureaucrats. Not like sin bin trials have been a thing already for 10+ years or that they've already been fully implemented in grassroots football in England for about 5 years.

Infantino saying FIFA are "completely opposed" to having blue cards at the elite level. It's not happening guys so you can cool the outrage

Take out the words blue cards and put in VAR and all will be right again
