White Card To Be Introduced Into Football-platini by eby001(m): 6:09pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
Uefa president Michel Platini refuses to give up on his plan to introduce a 'white card' into football. The Frenchman first raised the idea in October, only to meet strong opposition from Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who dismissed the concept of sin-binning players out of hand. However, speaking at the Dubai International Sports Conference, Platini stressed that he would be keen to see such a development given further cause for discussion and explained his belief that football should not be afraid to study other sports, such as rugby, when attempting to improve the game. He stated: "The white card is a new initiative. It is related to the behaviour of the football players. Play-acting, criticism on the field, these are not accepted by people who love the game. "Yellow cards will still exist too but it might be interesting to have another card. "This white card would send off a player for a few minutes, maybe five or 10. This would be a way to promote the game among fans who don't want to see this. "With a white card, there would be no suspension. I think we should learn from other sports, like rugby, who have used this system." Platini, who was joined in Dubai by Uefa's chief refereeing officer, Pierluigi Collina, also believes that some current laws of the game need to be "simplified" in order to ensure that football remains accessible to as wide an audience as possible. He argued: "There are different types of offside rules. It is difficult to find common and ethical standards to simplify the offside rule. We need to allow people who are in front of the TV to understand offside, too." Collina added: "We need simple rules which can be understood by everybody. We need to work together." m.goal.com/x/en-gb/news/7444702/ |

Dumb move by platini. What if a goalie was given the White card,will he leave the pitch?will another keeper replace him? I don't think he ever thought it will increase provocation? 1 Like |

tuffgongjo: I think it ll be good if used to punish players that simulate to get a penalty, because yellow card can't stop the menance and red card will be deemed too harsh |

That one no follow. It will promote deliberate acts from wicked players since it will require them to just go and chill for a short while. |

It is not replacing yellow card and red card, just against simulation and indiscipline like a player swearing against the referee which chelsea player like drogha does in the past or valdes racing off his line to justify a foul, obviously u can't send off because it'll be too harsh but it'll give the referee more grip off the game like "see I'm the one in charge here" |
