Shame the ref couldn't just give a pen and not the red.

 

 

So a defender can just rugby tackle a striker 6 yards from goal to deny a striker a shot at goal and stay on the pitch?

 

And give away a penalty every time? Yes.

 

Then you just open it up for defenders to deliberately bring someone down knowing they'll get booked, and take the chance that the striker will miss. I hate this.

 

Well, they could only do it twice, and perhaps the Ref could still have an option of a straight red if serious foul play?

 

I just think a pen and a red is a double punishment especially if it's a nothing foul.

Why? The striker gets a chance at a 1v1, which is what he would have gotten if he wasn't fouled. The defender is booked and the game goes on. The punishment fits the crime because you're giving the striker the 1v1 he would have gotten. It's fair.
