Ten-minute sin-bins for dissent: IFAB's plan to tackle misbehaviour. Football’s lawmakers are also considering adopting rugby’s rule where only the captain can approach the referee. (www.thetimes.co.uk)

Hell I think sin bins for other infractions would actually help football. One of the biggest problems with the game right now is refs being afraid to make a big call. Give us a sin bin between yellow and red and suddenly many of those "big calls" become easier for a ref to make. They aren't affecting an entire game, they are rightfully punishing someone for 5-10 minutes.

It also actually immediately punishes the team making the infraction. Right now, the only downside to a first yellow card in the 88th minute is a potential for a suspension later down the road. It doesn’t actively hurt your team during that game unless you do something else in the next 5 minutes. Now players committing dissent would actively be hurting their team and players would be incentivized to self police their teammates rather than further the pile on knowing the ref won’t book 5 players at once.

Imagine how city would have to cope if a tactical foul+yellow also carried a 5-minute sin bin

I mean they don't get yellows now, so they wouldn't change.
