There was a time you could put an acca on the opposite of what he said and make money, oh how the tables have turned. The Magic Man.Tweet

Those predictions are also basically in line with every prediction he's ever made.There was a time you could put an acca on the opposite of what he said and make money, oh how the tables have turned. The Magic Man.
Wouldn't the same be true for football, one team would just go all out attack to take advantage?Tweet

Is he?Merson is 100% wrong on this one.
Sin bins need to happen at top level football.
Which they will do, and due to sin bins being used for dissent it'll reduce the amount of potential red cards, which will actually make the game a better spectacle whilst simultaneously improving the behavior of players around the ref.Is he?
We just need referees to actually dish out the existing cards appropriately and consistently.
You have far too much faith in referees.Which they will do, and due to sin bins being used for dissent it'll reduce the amount of potential red cards, which will actually make the game a better spectacle whilst simultaneously improving the behavior of players around the ref.
It works in non league and grassroots, it really needs to be brought in, Merson has obviously not watched a game where sin bins have been used.
Nonsense. That will be it for a lot of us - I'm already sick of the game as it is.Merson is 100% wrong on this one.

They will give you VAR'ed Sin Bins and you will like itSins bins being used as a way to cover cracks and incompetence. Simply use the technology correctly as it should be intended and administer yellow and red cards accordingly. It isn't rocket science.
Only for CasemiroWill they also review the sin bin offence and upgrade to red?
As a non league player myself, the sin bins work brilliantly.You have far too much faith in referees.
As for non-league and grassroots implementation, from my personal experience of the quality of officiating at that level, I highly doubt its effectively used.
You realize sin bins will be for dissent mainly, and those situations whereby someone deliberately cheats by hauling someone down on the half way line for example.Sins bins being used as a way to cover cracks and incompetence.

As we have unfortunately seen in the CL with our red cards, this doesn't happen - goals will come. I don't see the need for it though or for the orange card. The refs seem to struggle as it is with just the basic rules.Tweet

Antony was cynically tripped on the break last night and no card was issued despite it being a blatant yellow.You realize sin bins will be for dissent mainly, and those situations whereby someone deliberately cheats by hauling someone down on the half way line for example.
Well that's evidently yet to be decided,Antony was cynically tripped on the break last night and no card was issued despite it being a blatant yellow.
This is why people have no faith in sin bins or "orange cards".
All this will do is bring an unnecessary extra level of complexity to how the game is officiated.
VAR is already shit. Are they dealing with these too?
Dissent can be a straight red for all I care. I don't see the need to bring in a sin bin.Well that's evidently yet to be decided,
but certainly when it comes to dissent it 100% works, and I am speaking from experience.
They don't need to happen.Merson is 100% wrong on this one.

But then the Mersons and fans of the world will be decrying refs for ruining the game by being to card happy.They don't need to happen.
All that needs to happen is for referees to apply the current rules consistently and book players for tactical fouls, dissent, time wasting etc.. and if they do it again, book them again and send them off. Once a few players get sent off and pick up suspensions for picking up too many cards for such stupid offences it won't be long stopping.
Should just blame the players for being idiots.But then the Mersons and fans of the world will be decrying refs for ruining the game by being to card happy.
It's happened before and still happens now, so history tells us this is true.
A less severe punishment that doesn't ruin the game but still offers to opponent an advantage fota the bill perfectly, this will also apply perfectly to tactical fouls.
Some people say every new thing will be the "death of football". Its been decades and all the same doom-mongers are still watching. No-one is going to stop watching because of a sin bin.Nonsense. That will be it for a lot of us - I'm already sick of the game as it is.
Exactly. Every time I hear someone moan that a red has "ruined the game", I wonder if they realise thats the players fault. What would ruin the game is the referee abandoning the rules and letting everyone do what they like.Should just blame the players for being idiots.
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.Wouldn't the same be true for football, one team would just go all out attack to take advantage?
Also if one team is only attacking there is also the possibility of being countered, especially towards the end of the ten minutes. I don't think being temporarily down to ten men will affect the enjoyment of the game for neutrals.
I'd agree with this!!Should just blame the players for being idiots.
what if a goalkeeper gets sin binned? 10 mins of shooting at an open net?Merson is 100% wrong on this one.
