I definitely think Sin Bins would work, Foxman. It's a really good idea.
But I'm absolutely positive that refs bottle out of giving the same treatment to Top 4 Clubs that they give to Ordinary Clubs. They just bottle it, and I'd like to see the BBC give statistical evidence of this over (say) a season. I'm sure they could get one of their many "Experts" to study every game.
I know EVERY incident is different to another, but the "Expert" could grade each incident with certainty and uncertainty marks, and take account of ball possession statistics etc. I bet they'd find that Chelsea and ManU have embarassingly got away with murder. And offending refs could be brought to justice by the League if their stats were consistently seen as "dodgy".
