Playing the game at a very low level (but in the official football pyramid in England, we've had sin bins for dissent for years.

It works great at our level, and I'm interested to see how it translates to professional football.

I don't think anyone really wants to see someone sent off for dissent, this gives the referee a softer option for enforcement.

I play rink hockey at a decent level, and used to play football, where cards go yellow, blue then red, with yellow and red working as expected, and blue being a 2min sinbin (quicker game than football, more often than not resulting in opposition scoring). Works brilliant
