By the time VAR takes to work out if the player should be binned, the time (10mins) has already passed.

Would like to see punishments for minor infractions being tallied behind the scenes. A report gets published after the game with associated fines. Doesn't ruin the game experience and most mouthy players will calm down after they've been fined half their wage 5 games in a row.

The dissent thing shouldn't be an issue, it feels we already have guidance for handling it and it starts every season and then just disappears.

Crowds have started appearing around refs again - if a yellow was given each and everytime, resulting inevitably in sendings off, players would eventually stop as long as refs were supported for following the guidance.

For whatever reason, the dissent issue just never gets followed through.

It has been in place in grass roots for years. It does work at youth level, but I doubt very much it will work with premier league primadonna players and "everyone look at me" referee's who want to be centre of attention and yet also the players friends. Add on top of that the inconsistencies with interpretations of the laws already in the game and how managers react to them, and it's just another topic point of controversary for Talksport and Sky news to bleat on about with angry phone in fans for days on end.

They need to fix what's already broken before adding more bollocks to pile they've already created
agree
i think Var has meant Refs have stopped Reffing

Don’t think it would work with the pace of the game. Being down to 14 players in Rugby for ten minutes is a minor disadvantage. In football it can define the outcome of the game.

Until they sort out VAR (get rid of it for anything other than 100% factual matters) anything else they do is changing the tyres when the engine's on fire.

There's no fucking way that the ref would have sent two or three City players to the sin bin for dissent after screwing up the advantage. And that's why it's going to fail.

IFAB is set to give the go ahead for the extended sin-bin trials in senior levels of the game at its annual meeting in March.

I think it would be insane to give officials more subjective decision making to deal with during a game. However, I wouldn't mind seeing the option to punish certain things retrospectively. This could include simulation, unsportsmanlike behaviour and dangerous play which was missed during the game. Players accruing multiple infringements could be given a 1 game ban for example.

If professional footballers weren't some of the biggest cheats in world sport and the most abusive to match officials this new law wouldn't even be considered by IFAB.

So if a player gets two blue cards, do they get a purple card and sit with the opposition fans?

Outside of maybe golf - I can't think of any sport where top players are not trying to stretch the boundaries of fairness every day. Footballers are not alone...

Footballers are number one in the world for dissent with match officials and feigning injury , how many go down clutching their faces after some challenge nowhere near theie face.
Here is the Oscar winning performance by Rivaldo of the ball hit me in the face scene.

Just one more thing for referees to make a complete dogs dinner of!!

enforce the rules of the game as they are without fear of favour - that's means no agenda, not caring about the stick the opposing manager or Gary Neville might give you after the game, Var refs not being frightened to call a decision or correct a decision no matter how it makes the ref on the pitch look. Is that too much to ask??

we don't need new gimmicks, just braver, more competent, and more honest referees (on the pitch and at Stockley Park)
