    I’m all for testing it if it avoids giving out so many reds, loads of games have been ruined by sending offs + I think we should revisit suspensions.

    Getting sin binned or sent off is punishment enough + it’s so easy getting a yellow now that we are seeing a ton of suspensions earlier and earlier every season and the biggest clubs with the most depth are the ones which can deal with suspensions better. The goal should be to try and make sure we are getting the best/fairest games possible

      I play rugby but much prefer watching football and the difference in how the players treat the referees is insane, I remember hearing a story about a rugby player switching to football and getting a yellow card for calling the referee ‘sir’ because the referee thought he was taking the piss
