Should professional football introduce the 'sin bin'?

This week, the English Football Association (FA) announced that sin bins will be introduced to grassroots football for the coming season.

Sin bins will be 10-minute dismissals during matches for a player showing dissent on the pitch.

Referee David Hooker piloted the sin bin system last season, and explains why it should be introduced to the professional game.
