Not sure, giving yellow cards for abuse doesnt seem to have the desired effect. Players still do it, get yellowed and then get sent off. sin binning a player for abuse of officials punsihes the team and the fans more than it does the offending player for mine. The punishment needs to be two fold. If you are going to send the offending playuer off, then the manager should be able to replace them, then you fine the offending player so hard that it hurts. Not just a match fee or something small in the scheme of things but a months wages or higher. Then the players will seriously think about doing it again.

The team should be punished if a player commits an act of dissent. They're punished if a player commits a foul so why should verbals be any different? Does sending a player off for two-footing someone punish the team and fans more than the player? Because that is the same effective outcome as a sin-bin (playing with 10 men). I can see why some might perceive dissent to be different from a physical foul, but they are covered under the same section in the laws of the game. I imagine most people would consider a red for something like racial abuse to be justified, so it's just degrees of seriousness, which is why the sin bin makes sense to some.
