“Turn it off. » The expression designating a voluntary time-out could soon take on a different and unpleasant meaning in (Site notre bureau spécialisé). With the idea of ​​introducing a blue card as a sign of a time penalty imposed by the referee, those responsible for the regulations have once again launched a potentially exciting discussion after the ongoing debates over the interpretation of handball or video refereeing. The British newspaper « The Telegraph » previously reported that the International (Site notre blog d’information) Association Board (IFAB) had approved the test introduction of the new blue card (background). But what is behind the latest control plans?

What function should the credit card have in (Site notre bureau spécialisé)?

The idea of ​​a time penalty is not new. In amateur (Site notre bureau spécialisé), a mandatory ten-minute break before the introduction of the yellow-red card was common practice. The punishment, known in English as « Sin Bin » (penalty box), aims to impose a time penalty on players if, for example, they prevented a clear chance to score with a less serious foul or verbally attacked officials. The blue card would be an intermediate level between the yellow and red cards. Two blue cards for the same player should result in a red card, just as one blue card and one yellow card would result in a permanent sending off.

Who decides on the introduction of the Carte Bleue?

Like all rules matters, this revolutionary change will be decided by the International (Site notre blog d’information) Association Board.

This time, the English association would have offered its cup competitions for this test in exchange for the blue card. Under no circumstances will the blue card be introduced officially and in a binding manner before 2025.

Where is the Blue Card already used?

Blue card in (Site notre bureau spécialisé)? This is how coaches and referees react

DFB referee boss Lutz-Michael Fröhlich has expressed openness to the testing phase of a blue card for time penalties in (Site notre bureau spécialisé). “I myself had experience with time penalties in the championship in the past, when it was still possible in Germany. I can certainly call this positive,” said DFB General Director of Sports and Communications Schiri GmbH. “The advantage is that you have an intermediate tool between expulsion and yellow card, especially in the area of ​​unsporting behavior and fouls that cannot be classified 100%,” Fröhlich said. This could certainly help calm things down, for example when packs form.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke more diplomatically: “At the moment we don’t have much information on this.
