Is it time for a Football sin bin?

Hardly a football match goes by without the umpire or his fellow officials being subjected to comment, or far worse, by the players and/or team staff.
In rugby if a player contests the refs decision or transgresses, he's sent to the sin bin.
It would have an interesting effect on their team, if some of the more voluble players were sin binned for 10 or 20 minutes.
It's getting beyond a joke when players frequently verbally abuse the officials.
The numb nut fraternity in the stands get the impression that authority can be thus treated.
So, football is a game for gents played by hooligans and that rugby is a game for hooligans played by gents (paraphrase) has even more resonance.
Watch out Wayne, Rio, etc...
