       Red cards

       Balogun (USA) gets his red card overturned following an
       intervention from on high, Quansah (England) gets two games with
       no intervention, where's the fairness in this, or is there any?
       Frankly I despair!

       We all know that the Balogun suspension of his suspension is
       plain wrong.
       Taking that out of the picture, I wouldn't have an issue with
       Quansah's tackle earning a 2 game suspension... if the same
       precedent had been set by other SFP red cards and/or violent
       conduct reds... but it hasn't!

       At least on the Premier and Football Leagues the susensions for
       red cards are known.  Both Balogun and Quansah would have got
       three games for SFP - and both should have suffered identical
       "punishments" in this competition.  Not necessarily three games,
       but the same as each other.
       It might seem harsh / unfair when both challenges were not
       malicious.  But both challenges were reckless and did endanger
       the safety of their opponent.  The aim here is for the player to
       use their judgement and not make a risky challenge where SFP can
       be the outcome.  I.e do not challenge when you should not.
