Topic: Blue card to be introduced in football. - page 5. (Read 651 times)

This doesn't sound like it makes any sense to me because how can you take out a player from a team of 11 players and keep the player off the game for 10 minutes while the game is still on? Who does that?

Since a team usually have 10 players and a goalkeepers to make it 11, if you take out one player, it means you will only have 10 players on the field for that team. If you keep the player out for 10 minutes, that means only 10 players will be active for the 50 minutes that the match will go on.

Again, what if it was three players who were the victims of a blue card? Does it mean that three players will be taken out while only seven players continue the game?

This is not going to be a fair thing to be introduced to football because it can cause a team to lose even if they were supposed to win. I am not in support of such a thing.

Change is one thing constant in life, and as such, I think this is a welcome development to have a "blue" into the world of football as substitute to both "red & yellow" and if only the organizing body will be able to clearly spell-out what level/degree of fowl will warrant a player been issued either Yellow, blue and red cards to both the understanding of the players and the general public at large.

But there is one single question I will love to ask regarding this new implemented "Blue card" feature, which means if a player is given a "BlueCard" such user is required to leave the field for 10 minutes, so what if a goal keeper is given a blue card? Does it mean he/she will be required to leave the goal post for 10 minutes while the game continues?

It's possible that teams will develop a strategy to force fouls and not play the freaking game just because this card is in effect. Kind of like the NBA when you're in the last minutes of the last quarter - you try to force fouls to make sure you make the most out of the last minutes of the game to widen the gap or tie the score. We will no longer see great games but rather games that are built around technicalities to make the most goals possible. Hopefully they realize that this does not add anything of value to an already great game.

10 minutes can make a difference when this player who got the blue card plays a big role in their strategies. but at least he is coming back after that time.

this is just a trial they say but why are they trying it on the pro?

when they say dissent, it always sounds political, and if you are not so friendly to the referee because you don't wanna kiss ass. you can possibly get a blue. the referee can show a blue card even when it's verbal?

Introducing a new card (which in this case is blue card) is not that important, the most important thing is what the card will do, and as explained by the op, I personally think this make good sense and I will definitely be happy to see this card introduced to worldwide football, I personally would consider this blue card to be a semi red card, as it will be a way to seriously warn players to mind their way of playing, instead of just handing a red card right away, the player having to go rest for 10 minutes before coming back into the game will definitely cause players to mind their attitude on the field.
Personally looking forward to this being implemented in the worldwide football.

A red card = player must leave from the pitch for the rest of the game and there will be no replacement/substitute + a suspension from the following games.
1 blue card = player must leave from the pitch for 10 minutes and there will be no replacement/substitute.
2 yellow/blue cards = 1 red card.
1 blue card and 1 yellow card = 1 red card.

The concept of the blue card sin-bin seems to be similar to the sin-bin in rugby, where a player is temporarily removed from the game after committing an infraction. I think the major advantage of this type of rule would be the immediate deterrent effect, players would be less likely to commit dangerous fouls if they knew they would have to leave the game for 10 minutes, but as we already know, the Yellow Card, the double yellow card and the red card has already taken care of this.

But really, What's the essence of telling a player to go out of the field and stop playing for 10 minutes and then come back after 10 minutes, I think that's just stupid, if they're gonna introduce something new in football, then it should be something a lot more sensible and not a crazy blue card. The yellow and the red card is doing a great job already in maintaining orderliness on the field so introducing an extra card isn't in any way required.

True, we not have information about the blue card, and when they will apply it, and in which competitions, I don't know yet. But in my opinion that would lose the essence of football itself, yellow cards and red cards are sufficient for an excessive reaction, or a violation committed. The joy of football itself will be lost if there are too many rules, and the mere existence of VAR still has its pros and cons. Personally I hope this blue card is not enforced, it will make the match much more difficult to predict. There are lots of opportunities for match fixing and so on, because 10 minutes off the field is enough for the opposing team to score a lot of goals, I thought in that direction.

I always thought that when something wasn't going well, it would make perfect sense to make some changes to that thing, but when something was going well, then that thing shouldn't be changed. By that I mean that I'm shocked when I see these changes in football when in my opinion football is doing very well without these changes, I hope that with these blue cards they won't waste too much time during the game, because every time the referee gives a card blue for a player, when that player is walking from the field to the outside of the field, he will be wasting time and when it comes to compensating for this time, the referee may not be able to compensate correctly

Therefore, the implementation of the blue card could create another problem that would waste time and certain teams could use this blue card to equate time in their favor, I hope that FIFA analyzes this issue of the blue card very carefully, in my opinion the card yellow is enough for minor offenses and the red card is also enough. The only thing I see that needs to improve is this issue of time management when the referee gives extra time. In my opinion, time should be stopped as soon as there is a problem with a player on the field, that way there would not be a need for extra time, which has affected many games. many goals have been scored in more than 90 minutes. If the game ended exactly in 90 minutes it would be fairer

It's getting more and more difficult to understand why they keep developing this kind of thing when yellow cards and red cards I think are good enough as they are, it's just that now there are always many formats that are added.
I haven't received much news about opposing this new rule, but I'm sure many will not support it, and whether it's true that this new rule will be tested in FA matches is what I know from twitter.

The only way the player wouldn't look at it as a punishment is if this 10 minutes off can be turned into a 10-minute coffee break.

I'm not very familiar with the rules but normally when a team player is going out, there must be a substitute that will come to replace the position like in basketball so how is this going to be fair to the team when they just lost one player? I'm guessing there is a new organization in Football trying to impose their rules.

True, for me its ridiculous, body contact, tackle, etc will always happen in football whether is intentionally or unintentionally.
Also losing one or more players in 10 minutes is definitely a big blow for any team.

If we think clearly, the blue card punishment is more harsh than a yellow card (1st) because of the reason above.
Nah, it will kill the essence of football with that way and I hope UEFA/FIFA will never agree about it.

Two blues equal a red and at the end, punishment on a player is similar to yellow card. With two yellow cards, it equals to a red card and you will be sent off forever from that match.

Blue cards remind me about basketball, not football and I dislike this idea. It can be exploited too as if a coach want to make change but only temporarily, he will request a player to make a foul, get a blue card, then he can send a new player in for 10 minutes. In football, 10 minutes sometimes are long enough for magic like Liverpool equalized the Champions League final match against AC Milan.

I believe the blue card idea and proposal will die like golden goal that was applied firstly in France 98.

I think I have heard about it also, but the blue card will only be issued if a player made a tactical foul, just as the one that happened yesterday night at the African cup of nations between Nigeria vs south Africa, where the captain of the Nigerian team trust Ekong stop a counter attack by pulling a south Africa players shirt opening, just to stop the counter.

I believe that since the beautiful game of football is getting more modernize by the day, this particular blue card of a thing is a welcome development, since var and goal line technology is already in place in today's football.

I can remember this from our local street football, but this usually happens at a game without a referee. Everyone in the crowd is a referee, and we do our own judging and vote on whether the person should really be kicked out entirely or given a temporary punishment.
 
This idea of a green card I really don't buy it. They might think they are bringing something unique to the game, but they might end up spoiling the whole football experience. Let it just go with the two cards we are all aware of: if the offence is less, you take the yellow as a warning, and if it's high, you take the red.
 
If this blue card is introduced, it will reduce the work of the red card. The referees will start being a little more lenient in cases where he could have served one a red card; they will go for blue and give the person a temporary suspension from the game.

It will be like a cheat to the team that the player was given blue card and this can demoralize the players from bringing out the best in them. It is better that IFAB leaves the red card and yellow card that footballers and fans are used to, rather than making it complicated for players on the pitch.

What is the difference when a player has two blue card that is equivalent to to a red card, and also two yellow card is also equivalent to a red card, are they not the same ting. I am happy that they know it might not work and that is why they want to test it first on smaller leagues. Let these people come up with something new and not blue card in football because it is irrelevant.

What's the world of football turning into, I think they should allow things to be normal. So does it mean that people red will not be given easily again, though am not the people to decide but I think this might not be accepted by many because it sounds like a childish play, most of the rules they are introducing to football lately is make it boring.
I don't see this innovation as you call changing anything rather it will make the football that we use to know to look like unserious stuff, though this is my opinion.

Yeah, I can relate to the concept but I don't know how this would fan out though in a real soccer game, I mean whats the essence of the players leaving for that 10mins. Over here in Nigeria like you stated the reason why this foul is issued out is because that's cover the offence of both yellow card and red card since there is no official card for that small post so this serve as a small punishment for the offender and also to keep the game in check so that it won't get all crazy with lots of fouls because believe me it can really get crazy when players are all tensed so cooling off for some minutes is the solution to that but I don't see how effective and useful it will be if FIFA or UEFA decides to implement this.

I don’t like the idea, I think it’s stupid. They should just leave the game as it is, we don’t need anything like this coming in.

Hopefully it doesn’t gather much backing and gets thrown out before they try to implement it into elite level mens football.

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.
