Should Yellow Cards Become "Temporary" Red Cards?

This is the wish of UEFA President Michel Platini who said that it was a proposal to explore.

"I would like to make it like rugby, punishing the offender with 10 or 15 minutes out of the game," Platini said Spanish newspaper AS. "It is an idea. Now, it needs to mature and see if it really is good for the game."

A temporary ban like the one already used in rugby could change the game forever.  One yellow card slightly affects a defender's behavior, but really does not change the whole game. However, 10 minutes out of the field has an impact on the entire team, making it more vulnerable and changing the tactical aspect of the game, even for a short time. 

It'll force defenders to be more careful, giving forwards more space to express themselves. This would bring more skills to the game, more liberty, more fun even. It would become a real game where you could see which player is technically better, faster, quicker over the actual power and strength, not allowing a player to stop his opponent by grabbing his shirt every time he is beaten and getting away with it with a useless yellow card. This is one of Platini's concerns and reasons why he believes this rule should be put in place. 

In the current rules, if the same player gets multiple yellow cards in multiple games, he is suspended for the next game and that only benefits the upcoming opponent. With a temporary ban, the player, as well as his team, would be sanctioned during the actual game.

"That way, the benefit goes to the team he is playing against instead of a sanction by cards which is carried out against a third team, the next on the calendar," Platini said.

Obviously, a few players adept of challenges, tackles, or shirt-pulling would disagree with that rule, probably arguing that being given a yellow card is already enough that it is unnecessary to add a 10 minute ban! 

Surely, the Barclays Premier League would be a totally different league if the rule was applied when there is an average of three yellow cards per games! Players such as Wayne Rooney (Five yellow cards this season), Matthieu Flamini (5), or Branislav Ivanovic (4) would surely change the way they play or think twice before arguing with the referee.  

We should not forget that the yellow card serves to show that the player infringed the rules of the game and was disrespectful of the game. It is a way to make sure the game flows without disruptive interruptions that go against the spirit of the game. 

Many people already disagree with the idea, saying that, with the huge number of yellow cards shown every game, it would be a nightmare to keep track of what's going on. 

I believe the rule will see the light one day and it'll change the game; change it in a good way.
