Can you make the argument that messing up the "fluidity" of the game for 2-3 minutes is greater than the potential for the ref to ruin the game w/ a red card?


Yup, I can. Are you Sure you understand the argument of a slippery slope? Your reponse doesn't make it sound as if you do.

I thought the red in the liverpool game was the right call though.

The stoppage during a red card situation lasts 2-4 minutes anyways and they already confer with other refs before their final decision is made. Not sure how having an assistant upstairs looking at the replay would affect the fluidity of the game.

I've been against dual red card and PK punishments for awhile. I think that's far too harsh a penalty. I would at least listen to any suggestions on how to improve the red card system as it is currently set up.

Slippery slope is your only argument?
