Talk:Red card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What if the goalkeeper is punished with the red card? Will the concerned team's goal be ungauarded? Patrickov 05:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

No, a player will be substituted (normal substitution) for the reserve keeper. However, it is logically possible to continue a game without the goalkeeper, but I don't see any managers stupid enough to do so. Number 8 04:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

That is incorrect. The Laws of the Game mandate that one of the players must be a goalkeeper; should the GK be sent off another player must assume the position of goalkeeper. --211.30.119.206 08:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The goalkeeper, if injured, can be substituted for a second goalkeeper. But if carded, then one of the players on the field must wear a goalkeeper's jersey and replace the job of the goaly. That is also the case if all of the substitutions have been used and the goalkeeper was injured. Stoa 18:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oval shape

Why is the red card sometimes oval shaped? Scott Gall 22:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rugby union

I thought you couldn't send on a replacement in rugby union if a player was red carded. I might be wrong but I'm not sure. If I'm not wrong the article needs to be amended to reflect this as the way it is written only football players are removed for a red card and no sub may be made.

As no one has said anything I'm going to go ahead and change it. Outside Center 02:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
