There is nothing on that list that isn't/wasn't already covered in the laws of the game. It's just that they are/were never implemented.

If that does ever happen it will probably be a generation until you see it.

If that does ever happen it will probably be a generation until you see it.The main reasons Rugby refs get respect is because they earn it. Whereas this rule won't apply to the top teams in Rugby it's applied to everyone. I personally think if football implemented the TMO then that'll help stop all the behaviour towards refs. It'll mean more correct decisions and you can't argue with the TMO as he's in the stand and the fact it'll more than likely lead to a correct decision so will cut the anger.
The sin bin is a punishment I'm all in favour of. Punish the player and his team during the game in which the offence takes place.On the subject of respect for the referee, until it is instilled and insisted on at junior and youth level, and until media outlets don't lead on refereeing "controversies" as the narrative for determining the outcome of matches at the top level, it won't be happening any time soon.

I don't think the sin bin is a punishment. It gives someone a 10 minute breather which his team mates can easily cover.
