Question
A player scythes down an opponent, two-footed, over the top - a definitive red card offence. However, the ball bounces kindly for the other team and they have an excellent chance of scoring. You allow play to continue, making a mental note to send the player off next time there is a break in play. The goal opportunity is denied by a miracle one-handed save by the goalkeeper. A team-mate instantly kicks the ball upfield to the player, who should have been sent off. He is played onside by the player he hacked down and he goes on to score.

Should the goal be allowed? Should the goalscorer still be sent off? What you would do in this situation?

score then red card. score stands

but the goal was scored by someone that should have a,ready been sent off?

If the original offence was deemed sufficiently serious for a red card then play should be stopped and the offender dismissed the field.Then 2 yellow cards for the team who thought they had advantage and argued.

Yes, if the ref hasn't stopped the play he can't do nowt about it.

well then they should do what they do in aussie rules, play advantage until the other team gets the ball then stop play and deal with the offense

I would have stopped play when the ball was cleared after the one handed save.

Plus a one handed save generally ends in a corner anyway!!:D

Ok, same scenario, player does something that the ref deems a sending off but lets play go on for advantage. Now the player he has in mind to send off gets up and blocks a certain goal clearing it off the line. What does the ref do... what does he do?

You can't once you have played the advantage, surely you can't stop play if the team has gone all the way up the other end and forced a save from the keeper, you can't then call the game back from there, too much of play has gone
