It will be interesting to see what kind of punishment other players are given if they breach this law and when it is to be introduced. There are apparent flaws in the idea however. What if the players are discussing other aspects of the game, will this be deemed as punishable, I'm sure there will be a number of examples where teams appeal against cards etc. Have to say that the whole idea of only allowing the Captain to discuss decisions with the referee is a good idea.
