THE sin bin proposal, controversially dropped by the Football Review Committee, could still be adopted by the GAA at the April Congress in Dublin.

Murphy says sin bin proposal could still be adopted

Cork have submitted a motion remarkable for the fact that it identifies 55 rules it would affect which would see players being sin-binned for a ten-minute period after receiving two yellow cards. This would replace the rule (not experimental) where a player is sent off for the remainder of a game after being yellow-carded twice.

Board Secretary Frank Murphy said: "you have to bear in mind that you have to change every rule which states that the player who gets two yellow cards is sent off for the remainder of the game,'' he said. "Those 55 rules would have to be altered in a minute fashion, but nevertheless they all have to be specified in the motion for Congress. A drafting committee would have to make these minor changes later.''
