A sin bin is a perfect punishment for those “Fuck it, just haul him down” tackles. A yellow is too soft for stopping a very dangerous attack.
I am in favor of this. It penalizes people even more for a yellow card. And this makes the game less foul based and more play.
Start with “only captain can talk to ref” and give out yellows for every one still crowding the ref. If this doesn’t work try timed approaches, even if I prefer the “every coach can call VAR 2 times a half time” rule, even if it is tactically misused when games are ending.
I would also add if you fake an injury you have to leave to field until the next pause allows you to get in again.
I like the idea of it actually. I think if well implement, it could work. I think it would specially make sense in situations where people start getting convenient injuries during the latter stages of close matches.
So…penalty box. Hockey style. I dunno…ask a hockey fan what they think of the quality of officiating…👀
Making things more complex will not give you the outcome you’re looking for…unless what you’re looking for is more reasons to scream at officials…
