Does the ball need to be out of play when giving a player a 10 min Sin Bin? Or can you stop play?

Just needed clarification on this. Does the ball need to be out of play when giving a player a 10 min Sin Bin? Or can you simply just stop play to give a Sin Bin? Thanks

You can stop play. As dissent isn't listed as a direct FK offence, the restart will be an indirect free kick.
 
a little confused here...

of course the ball needs to be out of play for you to administer any sort of disciplinary sanction, you obviously cant caution someone while another team is attacking.

if someone says something that is dissent and requires a sin bin you do not have to stop play immediately, you can wait until the ball is next out of play to administer it or you can whistle to stop play and administer it, depending on any advantage to the other team.

The ball does need to be out of play to administer the sanction.
When that happens depends on the game, if there is an advantage then you should play the advantage, go back and administer the caution, and temporary dismissal at the next stoppage. Or you can stop play and do it there and then and restart idfk from the position of the dissenting player.

This does throw up an interesting scenario, if advantage is played and then the offending player scores a goal before ball next out of play - tough one to sell sin binning him after he has just scored a goal for an offence he committed before said goal was scored.

Would it be reasonable to stop play if the attack is coming from the offending players team, hence eliminating the possibility of that scenario of the offending player scoring when he should have been sin binned?

Yes, if the offending team have the ball there can be no advantage.

Advantage can only be applied in favour of the non-offending team.
 
If the team from the offending player has the ball, and you wait untill the ball goes out of play to caution/sin bin for dissent, you'd be wrong in law. You MUST stop play for it.

If the non-offending team has the ball, you have a choice, choose the option that the non offending team most benefits from. Hope this is clear.

Got the restart right but the reason wrong :) . It's because dissent is listed as an indirect free kick offence.
