A blue card is to be introduced to football as part of sin-bin trials to be announced on Friday.

Telegraph Sport can reveal the game’s law-making body, the International Football Association Board (Ifab), has signed off on what would be the first new card to be used in the sport since the advent of yellow and red cards at the 1970 World Cup.

Two blues equal a red
The new protocol announced on Friday will limit the new card to fouls that prevent a promising attack plus dissent, as well as confirming a player should be shown a red card if they receive two blue cards during a match or a combination of yellow and blue.

Top-tier competitions will be excluded from initial testing in the professional game in case the protocols require further refinement, but elite trials could still begin as soon as the summer.

That may include in the FA Cup and Women’s FA Cup, with the Football Association considering volunteering next season’s competitions for testing.

But sin-bins will not be used in this summer’s European Championship or next term’s Champions League after the president of Uefa, Aleksander Ceferin, told Telegraph Sport last month he was completely opposed to them, adding: “It’s not football anymore.”

The European governing body nevertheless could be forced to introduce them if, as expected, trials led to them being added to the laws of the game

The revolutionary move will be announced by Ifab as part of sin-bin protocols that will see players removed from the field for 10 minutes if they commit a cynical foul or show dissent towards a match official.

IFAB was due to publish details of sin-bin trials on Friday; the announcement was expected to include plans to introduce blue cards, which would result in players being sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes for dissent of cynical fouls

Football's lawmakers have delayed plans to publish details of sin-bin trials - which were expected to include the introduction of blue cards - at higher levels of football until next month.

Trial protocols on sin-bins, plus other measures to combat poor player behaviour, were expected to be published on Friday, but it is understood they will now be the subject of further discussion at the International Football Association Board (IFAB]'s annual general meeting at Loch Lomond on March 2.

IFAB has chosen to delay the publication of the proposals to allow more time for discussion.

Unai Emery on blue cards: "I don't care about it a lot, I think the referees and those making the decision have to analyse it deeply, but it is not my concern."

[achilles]

The game used to be so simple, now we have introduced more and more opinions into the game not for the better in my opinion.

[astonvilla82]

Should be interesting, when it comes to sending there mates to the sin as opposed to someone else from the little clubs

[Goldenballs]

It's a load of bollocks, the team will just time waste as much time as they can get away with during that 10 minutes trying not to concede. Just fuck off messing up football.

[Skerra]

Agree entirely. The only result of blue cards is it will cause more muscular pulls than the players get at present.
Don’t even think about introducing yet another subjective issue that, once again, will favour the so called big teams. Oh, and while you’re at it, scrap VAR as well!!

What happens if a goal keeper is sin binned?

[Clampy]

Who decides who to sin bin, the ref or var?

[Risso]

Who decides who to sin bin, the ref or var?

I'd guess the ref, because it sounds like it's for Rhodri style fouls designed to break up play, or dissent, and obviously only the ref will know if it's the latter. Footy's question about keepers is a good one.

[Chris Harte]

They need to sort out (i.e, bin) VAR before pissing about with more cards.

There's going to be a Sin Bin screen isn't there?

I've never watched Rugby League but it was mentioned it was to be like that ?
I think Rugby Union it's decided by ref but goes to TMO to check
It can even get upgraded to a red card.

Do Rugby League also use video tech ?
