Blue cards? Yes or no

[Stu999]

Some levels of football (not the PL) are going to trial a 'sin bin' system / blue card for certain offences, like tactical fouls: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67549886

Good idea or no?

I personally think a tactical foul should be a yellow card and if there's a second or another foul refs should be brave enough to give a red.

I'm open to change to make the game better. I truly am. But not this one. It's going to get stupid. A cynical foul to stop a potential break and goal is a yellow and always has been.

Totally agree. Playing devil's advocate I would say it gives the refs another option. At the moment they're too scared to send players off (even if they deserve it) so those players get no punishment instead, which doesn't seem fair either.

Seems very unlikely this will happen at the top levels of the sport now:
