White Card entered in Football !!!

[jostorres]

I am not fan in football but it is my first time seeing this and  also whats the meaning of this. So basically it was just like continue the game in fair play while there are medics in the crown to help someone right? So it wouldn't interrupt the game ? But this is not worldwide only on Portugal. At first when i saw this i thought it was a meme or someone just edit it but it is real.This is rare and also I wonder if there are still other color of cards that they made or possibly raised while in the game

You are not a fan but have you already saw some football games before? Locally or in the media. If so then you are already aware that a referee can pull out a card but it was a different colour before. I think it was yellow or red (if my memory serves me right), now they change it but its purpose is still the same.

It does interrupts the game for a while only to remind the players that they need to fix how they play and also to give medical attention when someone is hurt, either on the crowd or on the players. For now maybe this was only seen in Portugal or this was the first country who implement it but later on, it can also be seen on other countries.

Football fans across the world will be familiar with yellow and red cards that are brandished by referees.
They were introduced over 50 years ago in the 1970 World Cup for fouls and disruption of the game.
But history was made on Saturday 21st January as the first white card in football was shown by a match official in Portugal.
It was shown during a clash between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica women's teams in the women's Portuguese league cup, in which Benfica won 5-0.
What is a white card?
The card was introduced by Portuguese authorities as part of a new initiative to encourage teams to act in a sporting manner and get immediate positive recognition.
It can be shown to anyone who is involved in fair play and is designed to improve the ethics in the sport.
Why was it shown?
The card was shown just before half-time to medical staff from both sides after they rushed to the aid of a fan who felt unwell in the stands.
As the card was shown to the medical staff, the crowd stood on the their feet to applaud the medics as they walked back to the dugout.          source

As football is one of the most popular games in sports gambling and its updates are very important for gambling. Many times the result of the match changes on the basis of yellow and red cards, so in football  cards showing  is important and also for gambling. The main purpose of opening this topic is to get familiar with white cards.

I actually feel a bit weird about this white card.
Maybe it's because this is the first time I've seen that card appear in football.
If the card is designed to encourage players or teams to act in sportsmanship,
as well as giving an appreciation to all activities that reflect fair play on the field, I really appreciate it.
 
But I'm still questioning how the white card actually works and how efficient it is when used in matches there?.
This was introduced by the Portuguese authorities, and did it have a significant enough impact to improve ethics in football there?.
Does anyone really understand here, please give a more detailed explanation?.

The white card, huh? The first thought that came into my mind was this was the new way for forfeiting the match...

Seems like a very strange concept similar to the "everybody is a winner" trophies which are given out to every participant, regardless of their achievements. I am not sure why we need to positively reinforce people during the game itself instead of giving such recognition "trophies" at the end of the game but I guess we can try out the white card for a while and see if the players play better.

I thought so at first,too,when I saw what the score for the match was.And I thought that the referee thus took the team out of the game after a devastating score.In fact, it's not a bad idea if at the end of the match a card was given to a game that showed more respect for the opponent and did not break the rules and would receive some awards according to the amount of cards for the season, it would be a good incentive for players to play honestly.

I was really surprised to see that new white card in football. When I first read about it I thought that maybe the referee was colourblind and someone made a bad joke. But this seems to be a new trend now to make football more about fair play and sportmanship than about big rivalries. Not sure if we really needed a white card, even though this might give some new opportunities to bet on matches and how many white cards we are going to see per season. Many football teams are very hold and have a long history of team where they are friendly which each other, and teams where they have a big rivalry. Losing an important match against your nemesis can increase tensions a lot for the next several matches. So I am wondering now if there is any opportunity to make money with it. Are they maybe some special games where we would expect to see more white cards?

I saw a tweet about this white card on twitter, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it was just a fad for some people to edit the color of the card to white. But after I found out, it turned out that this really existed and was only in the Portuguese Primeira Liga matches. The function of this card, as I have read, is as a referee's acknowledgment of the behavior of players, club officials who are good and sportsmanlike during a match. However, if there are additional other card colors, I think it is impossible because it will only add confusion for most people to interpret the meaning of the card colors.

The initiative is not bad, it is good, but it should be dealt with outside the field, because from the beginning we know that there is a culture regarding this, it is known that Fair Play is always present, if this is established they will start with the blue cards, with orange cards and I think that this can distort all the good content of what soccer means, in small court soccer, there are many cards, and that is something annoying to play with those colors, in my personal perception I never learned the colors of those cards, that's why I prefer field soccer, that's more understandable, if it's for a women's soccer game they can do that, but for world soccer I see it as redundant.

[seoincorporation]

I was reading more about this White Card, and the main question I have in mind is:

Do we really need them?

I mean, it doesn't make any difference, is only like a clap for the fair game, but I don't feel like we need them. And what I don't have clear is if that white card is a local thing for Portugal, or if FIFA will adopt it a make it a global thing.

Another thing that I don't like at all, is the referee giving cards to a non-player, for me feels like nonsense.

I do not think that the white card initiative will reach the level of world championships. Most likely this initiative will remain only in Portugal.

I have heard proposals to introduce not only the white card in soccer, but also others, but in my opinion only the red and yellow cards belong to the game, and the others are redundancy, which does not make much sense.

In some cases, a white card can help the referee control play and ensure that play is fair and fair. there are also different views on the need for a white card in a soccer game. Some argue that white cards make the game too tight and limit players' freedom to play in their own style.
Others argue that white cards are essential to ensure that the game is fair and safe for all players. white cards are still needed in football games to help the referee control the game and ensure that acts that break the rules are penalized. However, the level of need for a white card in each game can vary depending on the situation and the preference of the referee.

Another thing that I don't like at all, is the referee giving cards to a non-player, for me feels like nonsense.

According to soccer rules, non-players must obey the same rules as players and be responsible for their actions. Therefore, dealing cards to non-players is part of the effort to ensure that games are fair and respect the rules. If you feel that this is nonsense, then it may differ from your view. However, it is part of the official rules in the game of football and must be respected by all parties.

Well I hope that's the case, I don't see that in the UCL they are using white cards, we are used to it from the beginning of World Cup history, they have always been red and yellow cards, I don't know, but since now everything is changing and They want to put everything in other ways and you have it and you think they are going to impose it, although that is very common in other types of football, in 5-a-side football, 7-a-side football, which is on smaller pitches, that there are blue cards, but now It is another regulation, I hope and aspire that in football FIFA does not start to invent, because it would be something not very accepted.

Today, I would agree with your statement, but only because the white card as it stands today doesn't have anything good going for it, it doesn't dictate games, does not impact the performance of teams on the field or whatever. I can see them improving upon the concept and maybe playing around the rules a little bit to offer more incentives into getting a white card, but that could come a long way. Still, I think it is a great initiative in a game that is mostly defined by negativities. A little positive outcome could mean so much especially if it's given the weight it deserves. For now, it's useless but it doesn't mean it should outrightly be removed. It doesn't disrupt games anyway, so until the officials find out a way to make use of this white card, I think it's great if they keep it.

Discourse on the use of white cards more widely has been rolled out, especially after the introduction of extra time at each half of the game. but as far as I know, there is no certainty that this white card will be widely used in football matches in other countries.  although, do not rule out this card will be used widely. but it seems that the idea of ​​a white card was not enthusiastically responded to by football fans, including FiFA.

I have nothing against this idea.moreover, the white card has been introduced in the Portuguese league. however, I don't see any benefits and a big impact on the development of the world of football itself. so I agree with what you said, that the white card initiative will only apply in the Portuguese League.

Like we normally say that one thing that is constant in life is change, the world is advancing and I believe you know that, it is expected that every thing should advance with it, including football, I believe FIFA themselves know what they need and what they don't need to improve the quality of the world cup matches they organize every 4 years, if introducing the white card will bring any tangible meaning to football, then they are likely to introduce it and I believe many are going to accept it that way.
But for me personally, I still don't see the need for the white card though, too many card will only course confusions, I believe the yellow and red card does their job perfectly.

This is a welcome development in football at least keeping players motivated by issuing them positive cards during play to encourage them and also applaud players for exceptional behaviour during the game which will go a long way to have a positive impact on players' mentality but what I like to know is if there are rewards attached to the white cards for the players.
Because when a player receives a red or yellow card the penalties for then and in some cases payment of fines, so Portugal's authorities have considered rewarding players that receive a white card it will be a big welcome development in football and I hope FIFA will consider including a white card in the world football federating law.

This is the first time I've seen the white card thing, and I also think it won't really get much of a response. But I don't see anything bad in this rather doing it will improve the game in terms of injury and health awareness of the players. Although currently it is played without the use of any cards if a player is injured while playing. And I also think that the showing of this card will not make any difference to the performance of the football game, that is to say it will not play such a significant role in changing the outcome of the match as the red and yellow cards.

[famososMuertos]

OP: from the point/idea of gambling there is not much to say, only that the variance increases for this type of bets, it is just that.

Now for the game itself, I actually think football is going through a number of changes of late that should seriously eliminate cards, really! there is have to remind a player of fair play, seriously, why?

In fact, the VAR system should end the cards. player who is not playing fair, the VAR, sends them to the dressing rooms, anything else, in the same way, think about it, the cards are an archaic system, old obsolete, right!?

VAR is the future of football, to avoid errors with cards, it hasn't happened yet, but it is what will come.

I would rather consider we had option to remove former yellow cards in football. I understand importance of white card in gambling, its just another betting opportunity. But white card should be more than just clapping players in match. Its obviously good encouraging move but if it is gonna enter rule books it should probably permit players to remove their former yellow cards.
On the other hand, players shown white card should all be advertised.

I think yellow card are already removed, along with the red cards and this white card must be their new replacement but to me, I think it doesn't matter if whatever color they choose. The rules in a football game are still the same anyway so it doesn't give that much impact on the game but I do not get it, why you say it's another betting opportunity ? No bro this doesn't increase your winning chance in betting on football matches and football matches/games are already included in most sports betting sites even before.

White cards aren't only being presented for nothing but they do have a special purpose and those are already mentioned in the OP. No need to advertised this because the public will still see it on every football matches that they will watch.

I quite not understand what you guys mean by saying "yellow card are already removed, along with the red cards and this white card must be their new replacement", , because one thing you need to understand is that change is constant in life, and as such, for the fact that red and yellow cards was introduced 50yrs ago, introducing "white card" now is quite not a bad option, as a medium to encourage fair play amongst opponent on a football match, which I'm sure with time more league will tend to adopt using it.

However, since red and yellow cards are shown for foul and rough play during a football match, having this white card as a medium to encourage a player who plays fair is a very good development

Note: White card is shown to anyone who is involved in fair play and is designed to improve the ethics in the sport.

An impressive card introduced to as an initiative for players as red card used for penality and white card for appreciation...
