Not a straight forward dissent caution for an offence before the match / out on the FOP?The before match question depends on when before.
If you have entered the field of play to start the match then I would say that's a temporary dismissal.
If it's before then it is just a report to the authorities and no caution.
I don't think so. It says has power to take disciplinary action once entered FOP for pre match inspection. But then says if before entering for the start of match then red card prevent from playing and report any other.Not a straight forward dissent caution for an offence before the match / out on the FOP?
No idea... Nowt to do with me.What sanction does a report to the authorities after the match carry?
I see what you are saying but I don't think that is in the spirit of the law."The temporary dismissal period begins when play restarts after the player
has left the field of play"
If you can get sent to the sin bin before kickoff then the player could get himself a second yellow and his team wouldn't have to play with 10 men.
I don't see how he can serve time in sin bin or the spirit of law is required here. The law is very clear, a sent off player before kick off can be replaced by a named substitute. So the teams starts with 11. Anything else contradicts the lotg. For starters if they start with 10 and another player comes in after 10 minutes, he will be replacing a sent off player.I see what you are saying but I don't think that is in the spirit of the law.
If you consider why sin bins are introduced, it's to reduce dissent, improving participant behaviour towards match officials and so that the player serves an immediate timed suspension from the match when they do commit a dissent offence, so I think the spirit of the law is that where there is time available to serve then the player is temporarily dismissed.
We make lots of decisions before kick off.As we use System B in the UK where a sin bin follows a caution for dissent, and dissent is open hostility to a decision, what decision have I made BEFORE kick-off?
I can only picture a pre-match sending-off offence.
What am I overlooking?after a few ciders in the sun
It's a fair point. But... You have some very bright players if they can figure this out as a loophole. If they do, fair play, I'm permanently rid of the (current) problem anyway.1. The same player is sent off before kick off (possibly deliberately).

I was about to post this. There was some stats on how many decisions a referee makes during the course a game, can't remember but it was several hundreds. Dissent after a decision on suitability of player equipment would be the most common if done before kick off. But I would say unless a player is hellbent on getting themselves binned, sin bin should be avoidable before kick off. I don't recall ever carding a payer before kick off, let alone binning.We make lots of decisions before kick off.
Suitability of pitch.
Player equipment suitability (you decide team A cant wear black undershirts with their red kit).
