I wonder whether the drop in dissent is because of the sin bins being a deterrent, or if referees are letting more go so they don't have to deal with it.
Having read through some of the stuff it doesn't sound too complicated, might need to come up with a new match card for recording sin bins etc
As someone who has used it a whole season, i'd say on the whole we are better off with it.
Positives: another tool in your tool kit. Dissent reduction. Better impact early on. Over time the scare factor wears off but still an improvement.
Negatives: reluctance by some referees to not punish blatant dissent as to 'not ruin the game' by reducing one team's numbers.
Having to learn a reletavely complex system of if a binned player can come back or be replaced.
Myths: difficult to manage the bin with timing etc. It's a rare occasion having multiple players in the bin. Even that can be managed reasonably easily by a referee without ARs.
How have you found it? Is it a simple case of telling them why you are booking them, administering the yellow, then pointing in the direction of the sin bin area? Giving it 10 mins then waving them back on at a break in play?
Do you report this sin bin on the WGS ?Same procedure for a lemon as usual, only difference is you dish the card then use both hands and point to the sideline. It’s dissent only remember so it will be an obvious explanation.
It’s 10 mins PLAYING time too, not elapsed time!
I'm split on sin bins, part of me thinks it will just become a kop out for EVERY type of bad behaviour as an easier decision than a yellow and part of me thinks this could work... Not sure which one will prevail, The system should be far far easier than what ive seen though, thats a right dogs dinner!!!

Where I am (in Aus), we don't have to get player name or explain why they are being cautioned (or binned). That actually works quite well for dissent as on occasions trying to isolate a dissenting player or explaining things to him can be like adding fuel to fire.How have you found it?
