Orange cards proposed by FIFA candidate Jerome Champagne

FIFA presidential candidate Jerome Champagne has suggested introducing orange cards that would allow referees to send players to a sin-bin.

The Frenchman, 55, launched his bid to succeed Sepp Blatter as the world governing body's president on Monday.

He also wants to punish teams when players question officials and hopes football will consider using more technology for key decisions.

Interesting stuff and as Blatter has lied again and said he will run when he said he wouldn’t, there is someone who’s prepared to challenge him.

Or maybe not, when announcing his intention to run Champagne bizarrely said if Blatter does run again, which he will instead of doing the decent thing and standing down and getting as far away from football governance as possible, he had no chance of winning and has admitted if Blatter ran again he would most likely pull out of the race.

What’s the bloody point of that? Why announce you’re going to run and list the ideas and proposals you have to change the game and then say oh by the way if this guy decides to run again, which everyone knows he will, I’m going to pull out of the race and allow him to be re-elected unopposed.


No wonder Champagne has come out with the stupid ideas of orange cards and sin-bins, sounds like he was just making this stuff up on the spot.
