As a follower, a real fan, of football I am not convinced that referees are enthusiastic or enthralled about the rules which oblige them to issue Yellow or Red cards during a game !!!
The real problem is that often an offense could merit either a Yellow or a Red card ? Also, two yellow cards in the same game become a Red card and the sending-off of the player involved.
Red cards are sometimes a too severe punishment for an offense !!! This makes referees hesitant. This also means that some referees are seen as being "lenient".
If FIFA admits that there is in fact a problem, should they not have an investigation ? Would periods of time spent in a "Sin Bin" not be more appropriate ? Total time spent in the "Sin Bins" over a period of time could still lead to further longer punishment for habitual offenders !!!
In fact, two Yellow Cards could perhaps become five or ten minutes in the "Sin Bin" straight away !!!
Other sports have Sin Bins. It is not a crime to inspire oneself with what others have done !!!
