Hi all

I had to show the club assistant referee a yellow car for dissent today (names substitute on team sheet). I sent him to the bench and made someone else take over the flag. Correct thing to do or could he continue to run the line?



Thanks

I’m certainly not keeping someone as a CAR after I cautioned him for dissent. And that doesn’t have anything to do with sin bins.

Out of interest as I can’t remember, does a sin enter sin bin therefore can’t come on for 10 mins or not?
 
So theoretically you could have a situation where a player and a substitute are carded for dissent at the same time, one has to go off the pitch for ten minutes but the other can come straight on.

No I am fairly certain in that situation a substitution procedure cannot take place until the player has served their timed suspension.

The player sent to the sin bin cannot be replaced until their 10 minutes is up. However, a substitute that is cautioned for dissent can be bought on whenever the manager wishes as their dissent is not punished with any kind of sin bin.

Potentially yes, though as pointed out above only substituted for a player other than the one binned. It's a bit of a loophole in the laws but I don't see it as an issue. Any manager who subs in a substitute straight after they have been carded for dissent is not a very bright one.
 
Just imagining the scenario on a Sunday. Right player 1 you go off for ten mins. Player 2 you can’t run the line but you can come in the pitch. Player 3 you go off because you’re being subbed off. Carnage.

This has happened to me twice interestingly. Bet you can guess what happened to both of them 😂

Reactions: one
Which option do I select for reason why he was not placed in sin bin? ‘Caution was not issued in play’ ??

This is C2 no sin bin. Sin bin can only be given to an active player on the pitch. There is no timed suspension attached and they can replace a player at anytime after the card.
