Playing the game at a very low level (but in the official football pyramid in England, we've had sin bins for dissent for years.

It works great at our level, and I'm interested to see how it translates to professional football.

I don't think anyone really wants to see someone sent off for dissent, this gives the referee a softer option for enforcement.

Hell I think sin bins for other infractions would actually help football. One of the biggest problems with the game right now is refs being afraid to make a big call. Give us a sin bin between yellow and red and suddenly many of those "big calls" become easier for a ref to make. They aren't affecting an entire game, they are rightfully punishing someone for 5-10 minutes.

Imagine how city would have to cope if a tactical foul+yellow also carried a 5-minute sin bin

I mean they don't get yellows now, so they wouldn't change.
