The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have agreed to trial the use of 10-minute sin-bins in top-level competitions such as the Premier League in a bid to reduce dissent and cynical fouls, according to The Telegraph. Sin-bins have previously worked successfully in grassroots football at reducing dissent and could now be used at the elite level. Tactical fouls would also be punished using the rugby-style sin-bid sanction which would potentially see players leave the pitch for a period of 10 minutes. Football Association chief executive and Ifab director Mark Bullingham, said: “The areas we were looking at were dissent, where it’s worked very, very well in the grassroots game in England.
“We’ve also spoken about other areas, particularly tactical fouls. I think frustration for fans when they’re watching games when they see a promising counter-attack that’s ruined by that – and the question of whether a yellow card is sufficient for that – has led to us looking at whether that should be involved in the protocol as well.”
"Some players do commit a foul – I know people call it a tactical foul, cynical foul, professional foul, but a foul that prevents a promising attack – and they do it consciously knowing they’re going to get a yellow card, and we think that really breaks up the game. So, would they not do it if they felt there was going to be a sin-bin?
“I think with all of these things, success of sin-bins in grassroots game has been prevention, rather than cure. You get to a point where players know the threat of sin-bins and, therefore, don’t transgress. And we would hope that it would make the same change.”
