Legendary Newcastle United forward Alan Shearer has slammed rumoured plans to introduce 'blue cards' and sin bins to football. "These are the same guys, IFAB - who are making the handball rule, who actually may want to bring blue cards in for sin bins. Shearer wasn't the first high-profile figure to voice opinions at the potential introduction of the 'blue card', with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp poking fun at the idea after Saturday's 3-1 win against Burnley. "Imagine in this game and the referee has a blue card available? As long as I don't get a blue one and have to sit somewhere for 10 minutes!"
