Burnley’s manager expresses skepticism about the introduction of radical sin-bins

Plans to introduce rugby-style 10-minute sin bins for cynical fouls and dissent have been recommended for trialling in the professional game.

The game’s lawmaking body, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), claim it will “identify which levels are best to test”.

The trial will also include a rule allowing only the team captain to approach the referee during a game.
