Sin Bins

Not a straight forward dissent caution for an offence before the match / out on the FOP?
What sanction does a report to the authorities after the match carry?
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.
No idea... Nowt to do with me.
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.

"has the power to show yellow or red cards and, where competition rules permit, temporarily dismiss a player, from entering the field of play at the start of the match until after the match has ended, including during the half-time interval, extra time and penalties (penalty shoot-out)"

I don' think there would be too much debate that the referee can sin bin a player from the moment of entering the field of play to start the match and this can be before kick off. This is spelt out in the lotg. However, where it gets interesting is a couple of edge cases. One already mentioned above
1. The same player is sent off before kick off (possibly deliberately).
2. Laws of the game don't enforce which 11 from the team list have to start the game, or even if the list has to mention who is a player or a substitute at kick off. That's down to the comp rules. Most comp rules allow changing of the starting 11 right up to kick off.
What do you do if you bin a 'player' before kick off and the manager says he is actually a sub and another person in the list is starting the game. He is entitled to this. For me, I would allow this to happen as it already goes some way to the spirit of sin bin. He goes to the bench where binned players should be anyway. Unfortunately the manager can sub him in at the next stoppage. (Fortunately substitution must happen with our permission
).

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.

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.

(Devil's Advocate alert)
For an offence after entering the field of play to start the game, but before kick off, shall we agree that a cautionable offence is more likely to be USB, as dissent is usually in response to a decision by a match official?
If so, in countries using System B a caution (not Sin Bin) would seem appropriate.

Give the current popularity on this thread for being Devil's Advocate, I would like to put myself forward for the alternative role of Devil's Advocaat.
In this role I will drink liqueur and vehemently agree with everyone's opinion just for the sake of it.
Cheers!

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).
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.
