Football’s lawmakers are to consider trials of sin-bins for dissent in professional competitions and adopting rugby’s rule where only the captain can approach the referee, as part of a drive to tackle
I just think this is so simple. You don’t need sin bins.
Allow only the captain to approach the ref and anyone else who does so gets a yellow. You stick to that the first gameweek and it instantly stops it. Done. Problem literally sorted straight away.
Have them release a statement before the weekend that says these players will receive yellows and they fully back the refs to do so, making it clear to everyone so there’s no complaints and taking some pressure off of the refs.
If you don’t limit it to captains then the issue becomes what does a ref deem dissent Vs normal behaviour, and that’s caused the shitshow we are in now.
There’s just no need to complicate things and I don’t know why they haven’t sorted it yet.
