Its interesting how all the big sports that have some sort of Sin Bin or temporary removal of players from the field all seem to have a high amount of out-field players,
Aussie Rules - 15 players
Rugby Union - 15 players
Rugby League- 13 players
Gaelic Football - 15 players
Hurling - 15 players
Where as sports that have fewer dont
Association Football - 11 players
Gridiron Football -- 11 players
Basketball - 5 players
Ice Hockey - 11 players (this does exist in hockey in the form of power plays but for nowhere near ten mins just 2 or 5 and its a fast paced small play area sport)
15 going to 14 doesn't affect the game nearly as much as 11 to 10. This means players wasting time to get back to full strength isn't as much of an issue in the former sports as it is the latter.
GAA sports like Gaelic football are more similar to association football than Rugby U/L in terms of rules, structure and flow. Apart from the use of hands and extra goal parts the main difference is player count, so that's clearly the deciding factor as to whether temporary sending offs work or not in a sport.
Funny how that sound logic has made sense for a hundred or so years but now they think they suddenly have a new idea. FIFA are morons.

Could blue cards be VAR checked?
Could they be upgraded to a red during the 10 minute suspension like they sometimes do in Rugby?
Would there be time added on for stoppages and time wasting?
I wish these were joke questions but I’m genuinely curious 😂

You bring up some very good points.
I guess we'll find out when they publish the now delayed paper in March.

seems like standard of refereeing in this country over the last few seasons are at and all time low, particularly the lower down the pyramid you go. i wouldn’t want to see blue cards. instead they should rethink how to train these officials and bring them up to standard
