    Blue cards, FFS

    They can't even get yellow's and red's right.

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Makes it even easier for refs to pick on players/teams they have an either conscious or unconscious bias against. Also, what happens if they blue card a keeper?

    The team will have to remove an outfield player for 10 min, I think.

    I'm a fan. It's ludicrous that the only way to prevent someone from cynically stopping play is the threat of being sent off if he does it twice.

    I like it

    They probably do like in Ice hockey. if a goalie gets a penalty one of the other players serves it for them (in most cases)

    Too many problems here. 10 real minutes, or 10 football minutes? Because I would just have someone feign a head injury and waste 4 minutes on treatment. Thus cynically stopping play.

    It's just a load of *******s and gives refs even more leeway to make spurious decisions, imo

    Agreed. And what is the problem here? Yellow cards already exist for these offences. Dragging a man off for 10 minutes is just going to detract from the spectacle.

    Only for specific offences or for 'orange card' incidents?

    Either way - stick it up your *******s. It'll get as murky as offsides and handballs have become.

    The goalie back pass rule change is the only decent rule change during my lifetime, I reckon.

    Goal line technology as well.
