Sin Bin...(no, not a method of christian-wrongdoings' disposal)

The following will affect all those involved in/directly with [s]soccer[/s] football (html encoding is somewhat limited, those who know html 'well' will understand what the prior-coding means),

Should the-game-involving-primarily-kicking introduce a 'sin binning' system? My immediate thoughts would be yes (although I haven't heard the issue brought up anywhere - feel free to leave a message if you have). My philosophy behind a Sin Bin (in all sports) is for grounds of 'cooling down' - that is, for those involved to reconsider their thoughts etc. With said I would like to make it clear that currently Football's method of cooling down is found in the carding system whereby a Yellow Card is given for "cationable offenses"; but is a Yellow Card really a caution or a punishment itself? Coming from a qualified Level 3 Referee, I would like to say no and reform the laws

When one is to analyse the 'major' (yes, controversial term right there) sports, he/she/it would find that the 'Sin Binning' system is used in 'all bar one' - Football.

My current stance on Speeding v. Acceleration of motor-vehicles remains evident however won't be taken to the RTA temporarily as I have had my own problems with the law recently; however I am willing to take this issue further asap because of the very nature + affiliation I have with Football games every day that I MUST send-off players for something ultimately not worthy of a Red Card (contrary to the Laws of Football)

If there are any players/coaches/referees/public citizens that are for/against this issue, make yourself known as when I brought the issue up today with a colleague, their stance was an immediate 'yes, there should be Sin Binning' - the local radio station was broadcasting the controversial issue of Rugby League? whereby a player was 'sin binned' which sparked the thought at the time!

Opening and sparking thought in the local and worldwide community,
-Adam
