The necessity to introduce instant "Sin Bin Time Sanctions" by referees has been mooted for a number of years ! At last Sepp Blatter seems to leaning in this direction, even after only 40 years as an elected member of the "FIFA Elite" !
The conditions in which a Referee could impose a "Time Sanction" remain undefined ! Will rules cover only "Professional First Class" matches ? Rules for amateur or schoolboy level games will need to be defined !
Likewise the time limits of "Sin Bin" sanctions need clear definitions. Also what "Sins" could be sanctioned must be comprehensively covered in any new FIFA laws !
Current discussions in the Press and elsewhere on "SIN BIN" options concentrate essentially on "Feigned Injuries " or "diving" to obtain a penalty.
There are other incidents which have led to abuse and which need to be discussed ! For example "Tackling from Behind" is not permitted but physical "Body Checking" to protect a ball on the goaline never leads to any sort of penalty ! One can see such incidents in every match on Television !
To put it another way, referees never punish "Not playing the Ball" which means such antics are permitted !
Sepp Blatter now has more on his plate than the time available to him and which is necessary to modernise FIFA rules !
