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

For something so impactful on the game a snap judgement by the ref shouldn't be the final decision.
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.

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.
The Green Bay Packers disagree.....

Like I said I'm not in favor of the idea of red cards at all but if you have to have them then something other than a snap judgement needs to come into play. Nobody likes timeouts etc... but the integrity of the game is more important than the fluidity. Plus, again this is only something that would even need to come up more than once every 5 games or so so it's not like they would be reviewing things all the time.

Ah the slippery slope
Usually stated when you don't have a better argument
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?
