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.

Thats the thing, it likely wouldn't stop there. You would be reviewing out of bounds, goals, pk's, yellows, reds, and on and on and on before it was over with. That is why I referenced the slippery slope argument previously.

And furthermore, we have seen the video from the valencia foul/pk and the shelvey red card from the Man U vs Liverpool match and opinions are split. So then what, add a bunch of procedures saying it has be this or that and only certain things can be reviewed....................meh just get better refs or train the ones we have now better.
