There is these news going round about blue card sin-bins that is said to be introduced as one of the rules in football.
Basically the whole idea of this blue card sin-bins is to punish players that have committed foul against another player, so when the referee shows you blue card, you are to go outside and stay for 10 minutes while the game will still be going on, you will remain there for 10 minutes then you come back afterwards and continue with the game, however this does not take the place of yellow card and the red card.
Locally in my country Nigeria we used to do this for small goal post that is normally called monkey post, if a player tackles his opponent wrongly, we used to tell the prayer to go out and stay for some minutes and then come back, because it's most times a five aside game, so we don't usually use cards. but seeing these rules wanting to be introduced on the international scene surprises me.
So guys how do you see this new intended innovation, is it going to change the face of football across the world, let's have your opinion.

This topic doesn't have anything to do with gambling(unless the bookies decide to open bets about which player is going to receive a blue card).
I think that such change would make sense only if the blue card replaces the yellow card or the red card. Otherwise, this would be yet another tool used by corrupted referees to manipulate the results of football games. The implementation of VAR didn't improve the overall fairness of football, I'm sure that the implementation of a blue card won't improve football as well.
The referee will have to decide whether the foul is hard enough for a yellow card, blue card or a red card, which will bring more confusion and more hatred towards the referees.
