Ifab has supported the move following grassroots trials‘We are meddlers in sport and rugby is worst of lot’
Exeter rugby director Rob Baxter has urged football’s law-makers to be careful after they agreed that sin-bins should be trialled at higher levels of the sport.
The International Football Association Board (Ifab) has supported the move following a successful implementation in the grassroots game. Temporary dismissals of players for offences such as dissent and specific tactical fouls were backed by Ifab at its annual business meeting. Sin-bins have been used in rugby for more than 20 years, and they were introduced across all levels of grassroots football from the 2019-20 season in an attempt to improve levels of respect and fair play in the game.
