Is there any good reason why football should not adopt the Rugby system of 10mins in the bin for a yellow card?
I realise this is the news section but the something bad seems to have happened to the sports section.

Hmmm, now if this was a guy asking this question i would have thought it was a joke.
If you gave the player a 10 min sin bin, you could end up with a team with 5 players short, etc.
Stick to netball or beach vlolleyball questions MrsT ; )
Thats why football would be ruined if they made it a mixed sport...
I think from another question that MrsT is a bloke.

Anyway, surely the point is that at the moment the YC is not a deterrent. If it meant being 1 player down for 10 mins they'd be less inclined to commit YC offences especially dissent etc. Initially you may end of with a lot in the bin but then the teams that adapt quicker will be more sucessful. I think the discipline of the game would be improved.
yeah but a lot of players get yellow carded for no reason. they dont just get it for dissent.
There is nothing wrong with the game at the moment.
They get warnings, yellow cards and red cards.
While your at it, why not take away the offside rule too. That way there will be more goals.
I know where you are coming from though, that there maybe needs to be a better way of dealing with dissent, but a sin bin would be the wrong answer.
When your playing sport, people are very competitive and get frustrated when they lose or if judgements go against them.
A sin bin would just ruin the game and the game would become very unpopular...
Is that the same rugby where people punch and stamp and nothing happens?

You get x amounts of bookings you get banned. Simple.

lol
why bring offside into this? what's that got to do with anything?

It's just as competative in Rugby, they get very few yellow cards because they know it penalises the whole team. I think it'd stop the whinning, faking, diving, and general unsportman like behaviour. Who knows they might even stop rolling around in agony when they split a fingernail! Good Idea MrsT.
Regardless of MrsT's gender, why do you feel it necessary to bring you own misogynistic views (however 'humourous' you may think them) into any post you can mrben?
I agree with Loosehead. There's no problem with dissent in Rugby because the team gets punished for it - e.g if a kick's awarded and someone complains, the ref puts it 10 yards nearer the tryline. They soon learn to shut up and get on with it.
In football the ref gets the blame for ruining the game by awarding cards despite the fact that the players are kicking the cr&p out of each other and screaming abuse at him.
Huh warpig3???
i am merely answering a question asked.
If you dont like the answer then its so simple to just to read it and move on.
Please move onto the arts and culture section with your 'faked' intelligence and long words...
No one likes change do they? If perhaps the players were forced into a position where they had to act a little more gentlemanly, maybe the fans would take their lead.

Hmmm, Warpig, misogynists are often small men with limited structured debating skills, that feel threatened by other more manly intelligent men and pick on women relentlessly, claiming they are better just because they carry Y chromosones.
I think MrsT raises a very good point.

Currently, if a player is playing against say Chelsea and gets booked then Chelsea gain no advantage as he stays on the pitch.

If the same player is then booked against say Man Utd and Arsenal they also gain no advantage .

Eventually he may then get a ban.

But his ban may be served against say Fulham, so Fulham gain the advantage as he does not play against them, even though the "crimes" were committed against Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd.

At least a 10 minute sin bin means he serves the punishment against the team who he commited the sin against.

Also his punishment is then over and done with instantly, rather than bookings hanging over players head for weeks or months.
I don't think its such a bad idea either MrsT, for the reasons already pointed out.

I also think MrBen5 is probably still in the closet, or is only 5 years old. Come out man we'll love you for it xxxx

Thanks for your answers, I thought it was a good idea myself and I think it'd definately cut out a lot of unsportsman like stuff and dissent. Mostly you seem to agree except of course for MrBen who seems to have taken it a bit personally. Oh and yes I am a geezer! my username is in honour of our greatest peace time leader.
mrben you did indeed answer the question asked but I feel there was no need for your comments re: netball/volleyball etc, this only detracted from what was otherwise a reasonable answer.

As for faked intelligence and long words, well that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

GS perhaps misogynistic was the wrong word to use as I am did not mean to intimate that mrben was a woman hater, however I just feel it was unwarranted and uncalled to put some one down because of their gender. I shall now look through my junior collins dictionary and see if I can find a better one before my mum calls me for my tea!
Bloody snorting idea MrsT, that'll stop the little girls whinning and faking injury!
Hmmm, so what happens when 6 players from one team are all sat in the sin bin for ten mins for complaining about a player getting sin binned?
How can you seriously have a team of eleven play against a team of five?
Do you even understand football?
Unbelievable.
I do agree something needs to be done to stop the fakers and dissent, but a sin bin is not the answer.
I apologise MrsT for my earlier answer to you. I thought you was female and trying to talk about a mans sport...
Oh dear Mrben, you seem to struggling with the intention here. if there are 5 in the bin then the team with 11 will score loads of goals, and the team with 5 in the bin will have been punished. Once the teams absorb the new system they'd optimise their game. Remember when they introduced the back pass law, there where indirect free kicks in the box all the time, now they are rare. they adapted, football's managers will make sure their players don't get binned so they keep their jobs save their jobs.What you have to get into your head is that thats the bloody point if 5 players complain about a booking and end up in the bin. I know footballers are thick as ******* but even they would have to learn to button it! Capiche?
Wow, i know if you put this in the football section you would get hundreds of views like mine.
Unbeleivable.
It would ruin the game of football. Noone would want to watch it it.
What you dont understand loosehead, is that sports are very competetive and people get frustrated.
Stick to playing dominos.Capiche...
How come it works in rugby then? Just as competitive, perhaps more so. You dont get all the shouting at the referee, the play acting, the feigning injury.........
Rugby tends to be a lot slower game.
I know what you mean though. There are certain sports where you dont see the behaviour you see in football.
I mean, when was the last time you had fans of rugby battling with each other, or fans of motor racing.
Rugby and football are two totally different sports, so you cant really compare the two properly.
Its like comparing ludo to cluedo
Or like comparing draughts to chess
Or like comparing womans football to mens football... ; )
I remember a quote I heard about Rugby and Soccer:

Soccer is a gentlemen's game played by thugs.

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen.
