The use of sin-bins is to be expanded in football, part of a series of measures designed to help protect referees from abuse.
The International Football Association Board (Ifab), football’s rule-making body, announced on Tuesday that sin-bins would be used at “higher levels” after successful grassroots tests. It also confirmed a second set of trials under which captains will be the only people allowed to approach the referee during certain important moments.
