English football could face another major shake-up after reports emerged that the FA are considering introducing a ‘blue card’ rule.After the chaos caused by the introduction of VAR technology, football fans could be preparing for another big change with the introduction of the blue card in matches. Players who receive a match must enter the “sin box” for 10 minutes. .
According to The Telegraph, a trial blue card will be introduced in Wales this season, with trial matches also scheduled to take place in women’s football and the FA Cup. A blue card can be issued in cases of professional misconduct or objections. FIFA later said the report was “inaccurate and premature” but tests could continue. Could the blue card have a place in football? ECHO reporters say:”It all depends on how good the civil servants are.”Ian Doyle:
Football can be great but now it seems to be emulating rugby league which is a better sport in terms of entertainment and fitness.Sin boxes are used very effectively there. However, there are some caveats. This means that there are far fewer red cards and there is a sense that referees sometimes hide behind the sin box before decisions are made after the match. In junior rugby union, video technology is sometimes used to provide additional censorship monitoring of players.
In the end, it depends on how good the civil servants are. This is the biggest problem with VAR. The goal is to give announcers and signal carriers more control and authority in what should be player-centric games. inclination.”It’s a game changer without any bias.”Joe Thomas: There seems to be a lot of effort to introduce new approaches to football to cover up the flaws in the way the game is currently played.
Effective penalties for abuse and dissent already exist. New features like sin bins and “cooldowns” where the game heats up change the game for nothing. The introduction of VAR demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages of new ideas. Policymakers now have better tools to make better decisions, and that’s a good thing. However, inconsistencies in how tackles were used and how decisions were made affected the game and the process of using them spoiled the match day experience.
The new administrative changes (including changes to the offside and handball rules) have been so poorly managed that there is little evidence that the new changes can be managed effectively. Just focus on learning the basics of the game before moving on to Stitch. Football is good even in its simplest form.”The constant questioning of referees and their decisions is the call of the game.”
