Coming this season in sunny Sussex. 10 mins in adult football for dissent and a shorter time for youth football. Sin bin is only for dissent. Any one else having it

Hadn't seen this but definitely about time. Not just for dissent but for any 1st yellow cardable offense. I've been advocating this for years. How about also letting the player who has fallen over, rolled half a dozen times whilst doing a double axle and toe loop, and is obviously seriously injured (not) be treated on field whilst play continues. I guarantee that they wouldn't stay down for long. Referees and players do actually know when someone is really injured. Football has a hell of a lot to learn from rugby ........
When all the players' cheating and intimidation of officials is stopped, I might actually start watching it again. Until then, I have better things to do with whats left of my life

As a former hockey player who played with the sin bin throughout my time, about time too. Ridiculously simple way to stop dissent. Team mates will self police players in no time.

Definitely being introduced by Norfolk FA. Not sure if we're getting it in Suffolk as well. The refs are going to need about 6 stopwatches to time each player in the sin bin.

Add to that, if a player is fouled and injured the offending player should also have to leave the field and return with the injured one (or the substitute)

I can see that being abused by players and managers. If you can get one of your players fouled by the opposition's best players you could keep them off the pitch for key periods. I imagine a few forwards going down even more easily than normal against VVD, for example, just to get him off the pitch for 5 minutes.

But on the other side of the coin there might be less silly fouls, the game might flow better although I guess that they could sin bin the perpetrator. I just think that the centre forward gets tripped, has treatment, then has to go off when the free kick is taken where the (say) centre back who committed the foul stays on, so the offended team is disadvantaged.
I like the concept and will be interesting to see how the trial goes and whether it makes an impact

I will have to endure this with my Sunday League side. My biggest concern at the minute is how terrible the refs are and whether some of them will abuse this sin bin option to avoid actually talking to the players like adults. Hopefully it is used sparingly and only when deserved.

I think the trials have already happened at Step 7 & below......
"The FA has announced that select trials of temporary dismissals – more commonly known as ‘sin bins’ – will continue during the 2018-19 season before becoming mandatory for all leagues at Step 7 and below from the 2019-20 season"
Mandatory in the Northern League this season.

The amount of abuse refs get must make it difficult sometimes to treat the players as adults. TBH, I can't understand why they do the
job.

Agree on the end part, it must be a nightmare. It is chicken and egg though, sometimes the ref is so poor with their handling of the match that frustration builds and builds. People do take it too far of course and if they are the ones who are sin binned, that's fine. But some refs make awful decisions, or no decisions at all, and when the captain asks for an explanation they get told to go away. Without fail, when a game gets out of hand it is always one of those refs who have lost control of the game with their closed off approach.The amount of abuse refs get must make it difficult sometimes to treat the players as adults.

Maybe if the players behaved like adults there wouldn't be such an issue.
Absolutely never the fault of the 22 players, absolutely always down to the referee. If the players know the rules as well as they claim to, which is always better than the referee, why does anyone need to speak to the referee for an explanation?
Unbelievable Jeff.

Sorry but this kind of comment always makes me wince. You are playing Sunday football - the standard is crap. But you expect Sunday League referees to get everything right.

As a qualified coach and manager of an u15 side I'm supportive of this, however I'd prefer to see referees just give out straight reds.
Unfortunately coaching and managing at grassroots I get to see the lippy kids and idiot managers and parents every week. Some of them are a disgrace and shouldn't be anywhere near a pitch.
My lads know that if they give any back chat to a referee, irrespective of how poor the decision, they're straight off for 10 mins so in effect I'm doing this for my own team anyway.
Unfortunately people forget that at grassroots referees are volunteers too and without them there'd be no football for their kids.

How true this is. Jim White on TalkSport was highlighting the abuse grassroots referees get after hearing of a 15 year old trying to do his badges getting assaulted by a parent I think and another getting threatened with a knife by a player. The player apparently left the pitch, went to his car and returned with the knife. Whilst I acknowledge these are the extremes, there would be no grassroots football if people didn’t give up their time to officiate

Surely you will only “endure†it if you do something that results in a sin bin - and you are playing Sunday league with volunteer refs - how good do you expect them to be - I suspect they are at the appropriate level for the football you play. And I suppose when Sunday league players start acting like Adults the referee will treat them the same way.

In my grandsons under 15's league the refereeing standards are OK, some very good ref's, some ordinary ones and the occasional 'Kes' One.
In many years watching his team play I have never seen a boy red carded and only seen 3 or 4 well deserved yellow cards.
I have seen dissent to the ref grow with the age of the boys, natural standing up in the cot I suppose.
In those instances the sin bin would be a very good option for the refs to use.

Nope! But I expect them to know how to apply the offside rule correctly...
Couldn't get it right when I was a player and still incapable, 40 years later, now I am a mere spectator...
