Football ‘sin bins’ to be trialled at higher levels as IFAB support huge changes
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has agreed the use of Sin Bins will be trialled at the higher levels of football.
The IFAB recently met at their annual business meeting which was held in London, along with the Scottish Football Association. They met to discuss ways in which respect for match officials and the behaviour of players, managers and coaching staff could be improved.
The scrutiny of referees and officials is arguably at the highest it has ever been. As a response to this added pressure many significant measures were discussed with the intention on trialling them in other football measures.

The IFAB has agreed to trial the use of Sin Bins as a deterrent against dissent and tactical offences. It follows the implementation of the measure in grassroots football, all the way back in the 2019-20 season.
A player found guilty of consent would be given a 10-minute temporary dismissal from the pitch. They also discussed a "stricter application of the Laws of the Game" against coaches and players are are deemed to be "demonstrating disrespectful conduct."

This is the latest ruling to follow on from recommendations also made in October by the IFAB's football and technical advisory panel. As a means of trying to control behaviour on the pitch, a new approach which only allowed the captains of each team to approach a referee in certain major game situations was also trialled.
They also claimed a further trial which saw match officials wear body cameras at grassroots level was also successful in deterring instances of serious misconduct towards officials. A statement from the IFAB said: "The discussions [of the meeting] centred around preventing escalation on the pitch by adopting a more stringent approach towards players and coaches who demonstrate disrespectful conduct.
"Identified as the primary reason for match interruptions and abandonments, the panels discussed whether confrontations could be better handled by permitting only the team captains to interact with the referee in certain situations, with proposals being presented to help the referee mellow participants during a mass confrontation."
It's currently unclear as to what specific levels of football the new ideas will be trialled at, but the idea is they will happen within the professional game.
