Hi there, been watching the threads for quite a while now and have decided to take the plunge and join in again
I've been watching the boys for many many years, since I was about 11 years old some 40 odd years ago (work it out) and have thought about this sin binning thing. Why if someone has committed an offence which is deemed bad enough to go on report doesn't the ref send him to the bin while the standby referee views the video evidence while he's off the pitch and if its found a case to answer he doesn't get back on the pitch? That way the clock isn't stopped while the game is in play and the team who has had the incident against them gets the benefit of the sending off. Simples
