Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has responded to the possibility of the sin-bin being introduced in the professional game.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) announced earlier this week that sin-bins will be trialed at higher levels to help tackle dissent in the professional set up.

Meanwhile, FA chief executive Mark Bullingham claims the idea could also be in the FA Cup and Women's Super League next season.
The Spurs coach, however, is not a fan of the idea and feels the referees should just deal with the dissent as they have been doing over the years.
"Bin it mate, bin the whole idea," Postecoglou told a news conference on Friday.
"Just forget about it. I don't know why they [IFAB] keep interjecting themselves into the game. There's not that much wrong with the game. I think once they throw an idea like that out, it usually means they've already tested the waters.
"I don't think there's a need for it. I think you're seeing a lot more dissent in the game these days because there's more a lot more people to dissent to: in the past it was just the referee but [now] you can dissent to the fourth official, you can dissent to the VAR, you can dissent the head of referees.
"It used to be simple. The authority was with the referee and he could handle it himself. I just don't think we need to mess with the game too much but it is what it is."
