They should have the players who received medical treatment taken off for 5 minutes as well , might cut down the amount of fake injuries.
Great news!!! These prima Donna’s need to be checked. They should also put the divers in the bin for a minimum of 5 minutes. Surely they stop and the game will be better. It’s quite embarrassing to watch them play for a free kick or penalty. Play the game as it’s supposed to played
I don’t see what the point of this is, we already have a punishment for cynical fouls and if you’re team does it repeatedly it should be a red card eventually. All I see this doing is trans forfeiting a player for ten minutes to stop breaks late in the game.
As opposed to players stopping breaks late in a game and getting a lesser punishment, which is the current rule.
I mean, it beats just throwing yourself on the ground holding your head for 10 minutes at least, but otherwise I agree it’s just kicking the problem further down the road.

but we dont though do we otherwise we would not see them happen to any level they happen today.
This reads like an April fools headline ffs.
A chance for more ‘subjective’ and inconsistent calls.
Will fans even be able to tell the color difference from the stands? Woe to the color blind too.
That is a terrible change.
Or just give players yellow cards consistently for such fouls
No
Some of you here are being stubborn for tradition. This isn’t just “another thing for the ref to screw up”, these calls would be made either way, for a yellow or red. If anything, this option could lessen the effects of a bad red card call. The yellow/red card system is way too rigid and doesn’t allow for proper game management from the ref, as since the gap between the effects of yellow and red are so large, players will absolutely push what they will get away with. Introduce these sin bins, and we could even see time-wasting reduce.
Actually…why not get them out of the game? Cynical foul (no attempt to play the ball) = red card. They’ll reduce within 1 game week.
I referee low level games and I always thought its weird the rules are more strict at that level and pros get away with all sorts, time wasting etc. I have to call offsides without help and no VAR to lean on.
My biggest wish if this is going to be a thing is that the sin-bins are placed near the corner spot. Just so the ref can tell players to “GO SIT IN THE CORNER!” or say “Time for a time-out in the corner young man!”
Can we just sin bin all referees in operation for 10 centuries and replace them with some that can actually follow the current rules?
Yes please. Tactical fouls shouldn’t exist. Fouls have punishments to discourage them. If the benefit outweighs the downside then the punishment is too mild. It’s basically legal cheating.
