Gentlemen and Ladies,
There has been much debate on here about diving, professional fouls and straight reds. Having seen us get some fairly soft reds in the last few seasons and winning appeals I think there needs to be another option. Sending off the last man is open to interpretation but at least you get guidance as a ref from the FA as to how you should interpret it, even if many refs still cock it up . What about those dangerous tackles that get a red in the centre of the field. If that happens in the 90th minute and the player “takes one for the team” they may have prevented a goal scoring opportunity but if its outside the box there is often no other recourse and no penalty for that game so the “take one for the team” mantra goes on. I would like to see every straight red outside the box incur the option of a penalty kick INSTEAD of the sending off. That way if a player commits a professional take one for the team or reckless challenge it can be instantly punishable. The player would receive a yellow and the opposition would receive a penalty. The decider would be the opposition captain who would be given the choice by the ref- Send off the opponent or yellow card plus penalty. That way the team who has been offended against can choose what situation suits them best. If they are 1-0 up after half an hour it may be better to play the rest of the game against 10 men. If its 0-0 and 5 minutes to go then take the penalty. That would stop the take it for the team fouls.
Of course violent conduct would always be straight red but perhaps that too could result in a penalty as well? By violent conduct I mean a punch or a headbutt not this handbags like Ikeme got. I know its the definition but that needs changing too. If a player acts on impulse and pushes another over it should be a yellow.Punch them , slap them, throttle them, hands to the face, is a red.
