Shit idea from an idiot as far as i see it. I would say the current system of cards works well, I think a video ref or 5th and 6th officials would be worth a debate, not just for ball crossing the line decisions but also penalty claims. Would like to see an end to diving

the only issue with the yellow card system that i can see is consistancy. Arteta for example, after being booked for a challenge earlier in the game should have seen another one towards the end of the match. Was a clear yellow card offense, and had he not already recieved one, he would have been booked. After one booked there does tend to be lieneancy of later fouls.

Sin bin wouldnt do anything though, games would descend into farce as the team with ten men would just shut up shop and deploy time wasting tactics to slow down the game, only difference to what happens now is that it would start happening in the first half!
