Can you imagine how many professional fouls MC would commit per game? It not like they cant keep the ball with 10 players.

The thing is, that a red card has such a big effect on a game, especially if it happens early on, and often ruins it as a spectacle. A player can get one for two silly yellows. Something between a yellow and a red could make sense.
I did this in school, you get orange.

As I said Amateur football has it currently in place in its rules, I used it once when I wasn’t able to travel to an away game so was around for the weekend as a spare player.
I used it mostly to try and take the anger out of one guy, his captain said he does it all game and then will apologise once the whistle blows and as his captain said that’s what he did.
But yeah I think it can probably worked.
Hahaha, even The Onion is taking the piss at FIFA. Or perhaps this should go into the joke thread.

Thought about placing the article in the FIFA - All that’s wrong with football thread rather than revive this old thread, but I think it is more appropriate to place it here.
Wenger’s offside law idea will be placed on the shelf for now, but BBC reported Canada Premier League has been offered to test the Wenger law. But by looking at the picture representing the new offside law, it’s insane that Wenger even floated that idea.
Firefox translate:
There was a lot of anticipation for Tuesday’s International Football Association Board (IFAB) meeting in London. The so-called Wenger Law, which proposes a revolution of the out-of-play norm, focused all the attention. However, lawmakers analyzing what new rules can be implemented ruled out any application of the proposal of the former Arsenal technician, Arsene Wenger. A reshaping of the rule that had its supporters and detractors and has become clear in London.
The IFAB meeting, prior to the general meeting of Cardiff (Wales) on 28 February, has not entered to assess a change in the out-of-play rule. In the previous days, both UEFA and the four British football federations (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) founders of the IFAB, slipped their radical opposition to implementing the Wenger Act because it was considered too radical and that would cause total chaos in the defenses. An opposition that clashes with the idea of FIFA, which saw with good eyes a change considering it necessary in its struggle that football is much more offensive. An annual business meeting (ABM) of the IFAB that did park from the offside to perform more tests. “The ABM agreed to continue off-game testing.” The BBC announces that the Canadian Premier League is one of the competitions that has been offered to test the Wenger Act.
New proposals
What has been analyzed at the IFAB meeting in London are the new exceptions in which the VAR enters to value. The controversy is whether the VAR can go in to check the corners.Pierluigi Collina, the head of FIFA referees, sees it as fundamental and believes that there is enough time to enter to review those actions before the game resumes. IFAB analysts and regulators have opened an exception. They propose “allowing competitions the option of the VAR to review cases of a clearly poorly conceded corner, provided that this is done immediately and without delaying the resumption.” Therefore, open way to Collina and FIFA apply it already in the next World Cup, although the IFAB indicates that the matches will not stop to see if a corner is right or badly pointed out.
If there is greater consensus that the VOR room scrutinizes the second yellows that have caused expulsion and that may be wrong, as well as the cases in which the wrong team is sanctioned for an infringement that results in a red or yellow card.
The IFAB also proposes to place greater insistence on the waste of time. That is why FIFA and the IFAB have put their focus on the interruptions of the game. The 8-second countdown was already launched for the goalkeepers (with a corner kick against it in case of overshooting it) and now you want to attack the side kicks and goal. If the countdown is exceeded and the ball is not put into play, possession will be for the opposing team.
It will be more difficult to see that the players who need medical assistance are two minutes off the field (except the goalkeeper). This measure was tested in the last Arab Cup (already applied for example in the MLS). However, there is a lot of division in the IFAB regulators for the time that a player must be waiting off the pitch. It is excessive that the duration is two minutes and is advocated for a more limited time (maybe 30 seconds), always the player has to be medically assisted on the grass itself.
Following recommendations made by the IFAB Football and Technical Advisory Panels in October, the meeting proposed changes to that rule of the game that require players receiving medical treatment or field assessment to leave the field and remain out for a fixed period, the duration of which will be determined, after the resumption of the game. Therefore, the issue of time that must be left out when being treated is the big problem.
The meeting did agree to force players to leave the field much faster to avoid more waste of time. Now it must be approved that you have ten seconds when leaving the field when they are replaced.
The IFAB has also ratified at its meeting at the Heathrow Marriott hotel in London the circular 31 that clarifies the laws 10 and 14 on what to do when a double touch occurred in a penalty throw and that so much controversy generated the last Champions League when a penalty was missed to Julian Alvarez against Real Madrid.
The annual business meeting (ABM) was briefed on the tests in which referees carried body cameras at both the grassroots and senior levels, and expressed support for the incorporation of body cameras as an option for competitions within the Rules of the Game.
10 minutes for VAR to decide if its offsides vs 10 minutes for VAR to decide if there is daylight or if its a reflection from the floodlights. Wegner always had some stupid in him, it took working FIFA to confirm it.
