Soccer Extreme : he head of the judicial committee of Italy Pierluigi Collina told about the contents of the discussion during the meeting of the FIFA Committee for consideration of amendments to the rules of football. In particular, the Northern Ireland Football Association has proposed to introduce the orange card.
Collina, gave his views on the proposal to have two officials behind the goal: "Platini likes the idea of the extra officials on the pitch and the Italian FA are ready to experiment but the decision remains with the head of referees (at UEFA)."
The bald pated former referee added: "There is also talk of an orange card, which could be used when a red card is too much and a yellow too little." He added that "There are certain situations where the red card is too harsh and yellow is too lenient."
The International Football Association Board is due to meet next weekend where the orange card idea is expected to be discussed.
