World Football

Available for over a year

This week, the English Football Association (FA) announced that sin bins will be introduced to grassroots football for the coming season. Sin bins will be 10-minute dismissals during matches for a player showing dissent on the pitch. Referee David Hooker piloted the sin bin system last season, and explains why it should be introduced to the professional game.
