"Football history was made on Saturday when a white card was brandished for the first time in a professional game in Portugal. Fans are used to red and yellow cards for fouls and misdemeanours during a match, having been implemented over 50 years ago at the 1970 World Cup. Portugal has now introduced a third colour as part of a series of new initiatives in the country. And it was used for the first time during women's cup match between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica in Lisbon. It came after someone on the bench in the dugouts reportedly fell unwell at the end of the first-half. Medical staff from both teams quickly went to their aid with referee Catarina Campos showing it to members of both sides' medical teams, prompting a warm reception from fans. The card can be shown to recognise and encourage fair play and is designed to 'improve ethical value in the sport'. The move is part of a new initiative in Portugal to encourage sides to act in a sporting manner and receive instant recognition for their positive actions. The white card provides immediate recognition for a positive act during a football match. The initiative isn't widespread just yet and is currently consigned to Portugal, but it's part of a wider series of new introductions in football. Do think we'll see it used in the Premier League? Discuss...... Winston " its a great initiative but I'd like to see a card for the most creative dive to gain a foul or penalty eg olivier award maybe | |||

Discuss...... Winston " Brilliant idea. I love the concept of rewarding the good as well as punishing the bad. They need to somehow work out how recognition equates to pounds to make it work in the pro game. On the down side its another thing for refs to get wrong and be criticised for but the principle is a good one. | |||

"The white card doesn't interrupt play, it's just shown to recognise a sporting action, as in the Portugal game in the OP. At that point, the game had already stopped. Winston " That makes more sense, so just an acknowledgement of something fair/sporting from the ref ? | |||

"It sounds a bit like a police car stopping you for great driving." Fuck yes! What a great idea. Here's a house point for sticking to the speed limit.! | |||

"Although I think it’s a ridiculous idea the only way I could see it working over here is if it was incentivised. I’m sure you used to get a back door into the Intertoto Cup for fair play. Win that and you got to the Europa League. If they did something similar then it could work." Yeah, so they do like a fair play league as well which grants access to the conference league or something | |||

The other big 6 anyway. Man United's behaviour is impeccable towards referees | |||

"Maybe if teams start to take pride in being shown a white card for good sportsmanship there'll be more sportsmanship in the game. It's certainly gone missing the last few years.... Winston " If they did this in the 90s, guaranteed whoever got the white card would get the absolute piss taken out of them | |||

"It seems to have been well received by the supporters in Portugal, a country well known for *the sporting behaviour of its teams. Winston *tongue firmly in cheek. " Maybe that's why they are making efforts.? I think they should rainbow cards because... Well.. Rainbows. | |||

"The ref has enough to do with the complications of the modern game without this. Sides wouldn't see any value either unless it gained some advantage. For example if a side got 3 white cards would it wipe out a yellow. Thus could prevent a red or match ban. Then the cheating would start around the white card. Leave it in Portuguese games but not over here. " I suspect you missed when the white card is shown. It's not a complication, there's no "rule" around when it gets shown and by the looks of the trial it doesn't impact on play. Seems to be entirely discretionary as to when the ref uses it.
