Football was once described as a simple game?
Now it's getting more and more bogged down by the power mad administration of fifa & Euefa.... oh mustn't forget Ifab.

Was expecting a rainbow card

Yeah.. made of non identifying halal plastic.

Was expecting a rainbow card

Blue card for saying

"Ooh i say"

We are going to ruin the game slowing the game down waiting for the player to come back on what hapoens if its the keeper can you bring on a sub goalkeeper for 10 mins
Will end up like american football stop start
Look how the rugbys's scrums have killed and slowed the game down taking 5 minutes at a scrum but enough of egg chat.

Musnt forget in not to distant future they'll be several more incidents that var will look at can't wait for the 120 minute games... killing game more like death by thousand incidents.

So what would the protocol be then if the keeper got a blue card, can’t exactly have your spare keeper come off the bench nor can you expect an out field player to play in goal for 10mins.

Stop trying to make football like that egg game and leave it be

Fortunately not really a scenario where goalie will need to go to sin bin as its for cynical fouls that stops attacks .... and other things ref deems worthy of sin bin whatever that is..

They’re to be used for verbal abuse/dissent too, Jak got a yellow card today for dissent. Also seen keepers make cynical tackles recently and get yellows instead of reds as deemed defender would have got back to cover. Both would fall under blue card rules so this is a real possible scenario.

Like said spend 120mins watching game with all incidents that happen in games..... more likely ref bottled out of red if goalie does cynical foul and only gives yellow? not sure sin bin will change that but be interesting to see if refs will bin them.

I was listening to Postecoglu’s comments about it and he was spot on.

He said it would slow down the game because a team who went a man down for ten minutes would just time waste and go ultra defensive.

He also said every other sport is trying to speed the game up but football’s lawmakers are trying to slow it down weirdly.

I think everything he said there was right.

Can see the logic of why want to bring it in (cynical
fouls) but as all managers say its a bad idea in fact clopp said ifab hasn't created any good ideas ... next on agenda is time wasting?? Who brought in the biggest time wasting scam in football? Allowing two defenders to stand with goalie for 1 minute to decide what shall we do with ball kick it or pass it back and forth? Calling them Idiots is an insult to adiot.

Agree .

It’s becoming difficult to watch sport I think.. regulation does that in life generally.

Blue cards: Fifa president Gianni Infantino says 'no way' with idea set to be scrapped -

Gianni Infantino has ruled out the introduction of blue cards as part of a sin-bin trial, stating: "It is red card to the blue card."

Football's rule-makers are set to approve sin-bin trials, but an idea to use blue cards is likely to be ditched.

It is understood senior figures within the game were taken aback by the proposals of a blue card when it emerged last month.

"This is a topic that is non-existent for us," Fifa president Infantino said.

Plans of a sin-bin trial are due to be discussed by the International Football Association Board (Ifab) - the game's rule-making body - at its annual general meeting at Loch Lomond in Scotland on Saturday.

However, Infantino says the blue card plan is a non-starter.

"Fifa is completely opposed to blue cards. I was not aware of this topic, the president of Fifa - and I think Fifa has a say in Ifab. No way," he said.

"We have to be serious. We are always open to look at ideas and proposals and everything has to be treated with respect of course.

"But once you look at it you also have to protect the essence and tradition of the game. There is no blue card."

Caution was also expressed at which levels of the game the sin-bin trials might be applied.
Further discussion on the subject will take place at the meeting, although debate is more likely to centre around whether sin-bins should just be issued for dissent and not cynical fouls, which had been thought likely.

The Premier League has already distanced itself from any sin-bin trials with numerous managers, including Tottenham's Ange Postecoglou, saying they were a terrible idea.

BBC Sport has been told the intention is to introduce them at much lower levels, although this will also be clarified at the Ifab meeting.

Discussion around 'cooling off periods' will also take place, with a press conference due to take place at around 13:00 GMT.

Infantino is expected in Scotland for the meeting, before going to watch the Scottish Premiership game between St Mirren and Aberdeen in the afternoon.
