a more telling statistic would be to compare the number of referees registered with a league at the start of the season compared to the number at the end.
Yes you will get natural wastage over the course of the season due to a variety of reasons, but I can see a fair few referees leaving leagues trialling Sin bins when they decide its unmanageable and does nothing to reduce dissent.
Players will be less inclined to hold their tongues if they now all that will happen is they spend 10 minutes on the side line and that they won't get fined etc.
Will Sin bins count towards a player getting suspended for the number of cautions the rack up?

Get the mouthy players straight into the book at the first opportunity, sin bin 1, when they come back on the pitch, as soon they chirp up again, another lemon, sin bin 2 & sub no.1......
How;s it going to work with return substitutions.....even less effective. So for youth football where teams often have 5 return substitutes......just means they will have 4? Not really going to penalise them that much........because they will never run out of subs, so minimal negative effect to a team for 2 dissent cautions.
Likewise for the OA leagues that run return subs.......
Nope....still an utter mess.

I think on the whole that for the youth teams if a player is on the sidelines for 8 mins having to watch their team run around to make up the extra player that this will soon show the players that dissent won't be tolerated whilst giving the managers and the player the chance to correct their behaviour and to be given the chance to show they have learnt from the experience before re entering the field of play.

an ex WC referee colleague of mine once uttered the words, "you rarely get dissent when you make the correct decision"
clearly, am aware its not 100% foolproof and some people will protest that an orange is not orange, however, I have often found merit in his words...

The player is dismissed and doesn't come back on except if his ten minutes elapses inside your injury time or the game goes to penalties.
Geez, I've got hundreds of decisions right but it never stopped dissent!!! Some players just can't help themselves....
Haha, well with all due respect to your colleague and his experience, that's clearly rubbish!
You rarely get dissent from a player who you've given a decision to....but while we referee a sport that has two teams on a pitch at the same time, someone is always going to be unhappy. And if you haven't had the time to put down a strict marker, sometimes that will be expressed as dissent.
Are you kidding? 10 minutes off the pitch is a bigger punishment than only having to pay a £10 fee, even more so if it's a tight game.
Yes, sin bins still count towards caution counts. They also still count towards disciplinary points totals, and Respect sanctions.
Only managers and players (past and present) will understand the disadvantage of having a numerical disadvantage. Whilst a large majority of referees haven't played the game, you can see why they think a fine etc is the better disciplinary sanction.
I'd take a £10 fine over ten minutes off the field any day of the week

Considering the number of players that I have come across who don't care if they get a straight red for VC, SFP or OFFINABUS etc, I just don't think this will have the impact the FA have.
I accept you point that those 10 minutes will be more crucial in a close game etc, but I just don't think it will reduce dissent cautions, or, if it does it will probably be because some referees will choose to ignore dissent rather than deal with the mess that is Sin bins. Especially a lone refere who has to manage it all on his/her own.
How so? I was told they weren't going to be reported anymore hence why the £10 fine removed as no admin cost
The CFA's are having laugh if they try and peddle an argument that cards incur admin costs. They don't any more, certainly in terms of the CFA personnel. We, the referees, add the booking in the whole game. The club secretary gets an automatic notification that there is a caution against a player, which they have to acknowledge. The system then automatically raises the "financial charge", which, with any others in the same period, gets submitted back to the club as an invoice, generating a new notification to the secretary. The secretary then pays the invoice (nowadays, typically by getting the club treasurer to pay via online banking). This payment gets automatically reconciled against the invoice, which then nets it off against the original caution.
Perhaps we ought to charge an admin fee per caution/dismissal/misconduct report that we have to spend our time writing up (and if people argue we have already paid for the game, then the clubs have already paid their affiliation fees to county).
On the basis that a 10 minute calm down in a virtual sin bin will hurt a team more than a straight yellow with a £10 fine, perhaps we should be reducing the number of yellows required to earn a one match ban under the totting up process.

Thankfully the IFAB came to their senses in July 2024. Our FA who is on the IFAB council raised concerns to them regarding that protocol and how they realised it was discouraging our referees from using sin bins.
