Good idea but no doubt we would be punished severely compared to any other club. I can imagine certain clubs would get away with stuff...Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc....
So IFAB are considering radical football rule change to crack down on referee abuse by introducing 10 minute sin-bins.
Good idea or Bad idea ?

Think it's a fantastic idea, works very well in other sports where there is much more physical contact, yet match officials are almost never abused in the way they are in just about every league in football.
Sniffer makes a good point, and there is also the standard of officiating to be considered, if teams are to be penalised for abusing refs etc, then the refs have to be held to a higher standard than some of the abysmal performances we see week in week out in all the professional leagues,
"one of those road to hell is paved with good intentions" kind of thing.
These are the same guys that can't even make the most basic of calls anymore without extensive VAR time wasting reviews and we want to give them the capability to penalty boxing someone for dissent?
can you imagine them really putting any of the big six players in the box against a lesser team and it ended up affecting the match outcome?
The underlying issue is officiating incompetence. A competent official that's not there to be "seen" by the paying fans will generate much less dissent that the showboaters that permeate the FA.
The other big issue is the carefully crafted strategy made famous by the fergusons and mourinos of the world where every challenge or play results in comments and outbursts to the officials. After a while they wear down the official to the point that they really do affect the neutrality of the match official. It's a strategy just like diving and time wasting.
My guess is that quality of some of the officials in the lower leagues is much better than the same retreads in the prem. However, since they don't play the "game" with the superstar players and coaches and they get control of the match early on and let the players decide the outcome they are banished to the lower divisions.
Finally, I will say that I really have enjoyed the championship officials much more than watch the prem games. They generally do a much better job of controlling the game with much less visibility than the prem officials. No VAR makes a world of difference.

I have an idea.
Why not book them and if they do it again then send them off.
The game will soon be one I don't recognise anymore, it's bad enough games being stopped for 4 or 5 minutes with var, now we have games lasting nearly 100 minutes, just leave it alone.
Dissent and questioning of authority seems to be commonplace these days and should be cracked down upon in sport at all levels imho.
No.
