what if a goalkeeper gets sin binned? 10 mins of shooting at an open net?

I’m sure you could work around a solution for that, no?

That is an impossible problem with no solution.

Time wasting would get to insane level just to tick the clock during sin bin time, even if it's readded with stoppage time. Refs sin bin multiple players from the same team for these cynical time wasting tactic? That's quick way to destroying football game.

Next they would need to introduce stopwatch. Next ad between break...

It's situational, would time wasting benefit the team? You'd get long stoppages as you said.

I don't think the problem is with the sin bin itself but rather the application of it. Refs can't be trusted to administer punishment fairly.

Keeper gets replaced by a drone which is remote controlled from the bench

Ask a supporter in the stands to be the goaly

Yeah just like when the goalies have to leave the pitch after treatment and you get 1 min of shooting at an open net.

Same as when a keeper gets sent off!

Isn't that different or difficult to comprehend I wouldn't have thought.

if a keeper gets sent off you usually sub a player off for another keeper. Not gonna do that for 10 mins and then have 2 keepers on the pitch are ya.

No, you'd play an outfield player in goal for the 10 mins, not hard to comprehend really?

What if the manager gets sin binned?

Sub them for a goal keeper

Brilliant, it’s a daft idea. Never gonna happen

It already happens, that's why you don't try to break the rules.

 

[Champ]

It's not a daft idea though, it's a great idea and it works well in football further down the pyramid, so there's proof that it does work.

I think this has a real chance of being implemented,

 

[horsechoker]

If red cards didn't exist I think people would have the same objections to them as they do orange cards.

The real problem is the refs using it correctly but it's not something that is a truly terrible idea.

Never thought I'd see a comparison between addiction and having diarrhoea.

We underestimate this addiction. We need to show it some respect and not, 'oh, show a bit of willpower'. I would say to the people who make these rules up and ban people, 'next time you get diarrhoea, try and stop that with willpower'."

One of our great thinkers.

I agree with him on that point but the bans are justified in my opinion.

This guy is the dumbest guy in football. You'd think after his terrible prediction on KDB he'd stay quiet but he keeps yapping.
