Cable Forum - Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

The inflexible strict rules might say it was a red card but common sense should prevail more with these incidents but sadly for the betterment of the game it does not and thus the game is ruined then as a spectacle.

If Herman the German(Neuer) had done it we would have all been screaming OFF.

All right then, if Bayern where playing Liverpool and that happened to Suarez you would want the red card out.

No as far as l am concerned a yellow card would suffice as personally l think these decisions ruin the game as a spectacle and at the end of the day that's what most supporters want to see.

It could also be argued that a blatant foul that prevents a clear goal scoring opportunity spoils the game as a spectacle as well. And some of the most exciting games I have seen have been watching 10 v 11. It doesn't always follow that a sending off ruins the game.

A player is brought down denying a goal scoring opportunity, but a penalty is given which is a goal scoring opportunity, so the goal scoring opportunity isn't denied. Why should they be given a red card as well and punished twice? Anywhere else on the pitch where its not a goal scoring opportunity its a yellow card or just a foul, i don't know why that should change.
