Whats worse, holding back a second yellow because a player would be sent off in a key competitive game or losing a player for the season on the level of a messi or ronaldo to injury?
The odds of this happening are so minimal though. To me, you shouldn't make rules based on worst case scenario. Common sense needs to come into play. No other sport has this level of punishment for fouls/penalties and it's not like star players are getting hurt for the season all the time, and if they do it's often from non-contact injuries.
Also, I agree with Ocean. For something so impactful on the game a snap judgement by the ref shouldn't be the final decision. I mean I'm no Arsenal apologist, or RVP, but how absurd is what happened to them in the CL two years ago? That kind of stuff can't happen. That was 100x worse than anything that happened under the watch of the replacement refs and all we heard about was how they were destroying the integrity of the game.

Agreed, the point though was player safety in general, I just emphasized the point I was making.

Careful here, slippery slope, goal line technology is fine, but you start using instant replay and the fluidity of the game is compromised. I enjoy soccer because there are no timeouts, reviews ect. and would rather not take that away. I would say reform the way we train our refs first.
