At last there is a breath of fresh air where FIFA hesitates to tread !
Rugby has already adopted "sin bins" to punish guilty offenders immediately. Ice Hockey has used this method for at least sixty years to calm the hotheads in its sport !
Michel PLATINI, the President of UEFA, a former French International Footballer, must be encouraged to push through the "SIN BIN" solution to replace Yellow Cards.
At present FIFA has too many other urgent problems to resolve without launching new ideas that cannot be introduced before the election of the next President of FIFA in 2014 !
New ideas must mature and there may also be others which need consideration.
Why not "VIDEO CONSULTATIONS" to help referees, again a method which RUGBY fans appreciate ! How can a Referee see what is happening behind his back, or if he is unsighted ? Must it be said that Television Viewers already have the right to see "playbacks" ?
Blatter's "Goal-line Technology" is not enough !
Finally, the Statutes of FIFA need a complete revision, but this is another subject ! FIFA needs fresh ideas and one can only hope that Michel Platini will be empowered to modernise the organisation !
