Football's rulemakers set to introduce blue cards for sin-bins

The International Football Association Board is set to introduce blue cards as part of trials of sin bins in professional football to tackle altercations on the pitch and among spectators.
Referees will have the power to send players off for 10 minutes for dissent or cynical fouls, and the blue card will be used as a temporary suspension indicator.
The use of sin-bins and blue cards will not be implemented in top-level competitions initially, but trials may begin in lower-level competitions like the FA Cup and Women's FA Cup.
