@letters
Suppose someone gets a yellow card and has to go to the sin bin, then two minutes later, another player gets a yellow card on the same team. The team go down to 9 men. How is that fair? Then player C gets a yellow card a few minutes later too, the team go down to 8 men. You'll end up conceding 4 goals in the space of 10-15 minutes.
The card system is perfectly fine in football. They should stop finding ways to over complicate the simple things and find ways to simplify the complicated things, such as the offside rule, for instance.
Fair enough.
IMO they should work more on retrospective punishments or rescinding of wrongly awarded cards.
The whole attitude is "the referee is never wrong" which is obviously balls.
Also think about keepers, what happens to them? Will there be one rule for keepers and another for outfield players? It all gets messy.
If it was to replace the red card then I think it would be a better idea.
I think the best thing would be to get competent referees.

sin binning is a stupid idea as SWAYR says, could lead to a team down to a stupid number of players and makes the games crap. however, what should happen is like letters say, any decision can be reviewed after the game. if a yellow was wrong it can be removed or upgraded to a red and they are banned for next game etc

If they want to keep flying into reckless challenges or other such shit and go down to 9 men then that's tough fucking luck!
All we need is a transparent system that judges refereeing performances. I don't think refereeing is bad because of bias but it's clear that home advantage helps and they're a bit tentative on making big calls e.g. an early sending off. If the FA were to rate refereeing performances out of 10 for every game using whatever criteria they want to come up with, and if that list is made public, then everyone will know...over time...that who the best referees are and the worst ones get removed from more important games. If it gathers a lot of publicity, maybe the crowd will be less annoyed at refs that have been proven to be very good.
