Chuck -

I completely agree about the need for more clarity and "soccer-specific" rules.

As an example, we all know that a player that intentionally uses his hand/arm to prevent a goal is subject to a red card (and PK), but this is not "abusive language, flagrantly or maliciously contacting another person, making obscene gestures to opponents or spectators" and could arguably not warrant even a one game suspension. However, I believe that we all accept that the rules of soccer require a one-game suspension in that case as well.

Sorry, I am going off point.
