I like the idea myself.
Something needs to be done to curb the aggressive behaviour that referees face from players that should know better.
Wasn’t there a rule which stipulated that only the Captains of each team could approach the man in the middle to discuss and dispute a decision that’s been made by them?
Maybe the Sin Bin idea could be put to good use to remove players that are in the referees face that shouldn’t be.
It would also be a good way for the players who are sent to the sidelines to be able to compose themselves and thus force them to rethink their behaviour on the pitch.
In fact, if this punishment replaces the yellow card booking, it may even make players think twice about committing a professional foul, which is invariably utilised to prevent a potential goal scoring opportunity or prevent the opposing team from setting off on a promising attack, especially on those occasions when the team under attack are caught short.
Standing in the way of a free kick to block the pass of the free kick taker would also be punished fairly should the Sin Bin rule be applied.
The time wasting of keepers would also be a thing of the past largely, if they were fearful of being sent off and not allowed to participate for the designated period of time.
It may be a contentious change to the rules of the game in the eyes of the die hard traditionalists who would want it binned along with VAR, but I say it needs to be given a trial run in all the leagues across the UK.
Who knows, it just might be the ticket to sort out the annoying things that the footballers of any league are getting away with week in week out.
