I was watching a step 5 game on Tuesday night. Midway through the second half an away team player was cautioned for dissent so left the field for a 10 minute sin bin.
A couple of minutes later the home goalkeeper went down injured, and there then followed a lengthy stoppage (nearly 10 mins).
The away dugout then asked how long until their player could return, and the referee said ‘sin bin time is playing time only - he’s got 7 minutes left’.
Is this definitely correct? I’ve never come across this long stoppage before when a player has been sin binned so just wanted clarification from others on the off chance that it happens in one of my games.
TIA
