Is this submitted purely to allow us to discuss further? I didn't see any real support for this?
Comment
yes, we should at least discuss about it and adjust it accordingly. If there shall be no cards we should at least streamline referee hand signs to cover all four cases of personal penalties: warning, 2minute, 5minute, game penalty.
Comment
If you want to implement hand signs for every offence that may occur, we need many more hand signs. And I think we should only implement those that are used regularly. I also do not want to have 4 different colors of cards.
If the stricter penalties pass, I also think there is no need to put an official warning into the rules. I can't see many instances, where such a warning would be given. Or in which cases would you give such a warning?
Unless we put much more thought into how exactly we want to implement the warning and cards in an easy and efficient manner, I'm against this proposal.
Comment
I personally don't support referee cards. I don't think warning is needed. You can discuss a match send off sign but it would be fairly rare so I dont feel it is necessary.
