I thought if you got a red card you had to play man down in soccer for the rest of the game? True or false because I know almost zilch about it.

If we had cards, I'd be giving yellow cards out like free food.
Snake,

You are correct, a red or two yellows and you lose the player for the game. I didn't think of that one at the time but it makes his case even more flawed. How about a basketball game that is 5 versus 3 because you red card two players on one team.
Not too sure this is true anymore. I stopped officiating soccer 4 years ago and seems to me I have heard/read something about a "soft" red where you don't play down a player. NevadRef still does soccer so he could bring us all up to date on this.
