oooh, tricky.....

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Goal stands, send him off tho

[Josedinho]

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

Goal allowed, player sent off.

It's a bit like hand analysis though because most people will say "If the tackle was that bad i stop the game and send him off".
With what the ref has done before the goal stands and the player is sent off and to even it up i probably send anyone off on his team that dares to come to shout at me about the decision.

hmm  tricky. As soon as the keeper pulls off the miracle safe the ref should blow his whistle and stop the game/.

Allow goal, send player off, book crippled player for having legs too weak to prevent controversial decision, move shortest player to car park.

However, seeing as there are now an odd number of players on the pitch, if all players agree, referee can move everyone to the same team, making clear that this is a special one-off case and no precedent is set.

And where do we restart from once he has sent him off?

[kinboshi]

The injured player on the floor is playing the attacker onside?  I'd blow up for offside, send him off, then give him three yellow cards.

Original position of the foul, no?

no, not once play has played on. this is not rugby.

[Horneris]

I believe the Goal should stand and the player sent off afterwards.

Twice if he takes off his shirt during celebration.

hmm...well the ref can decide to stop the game at anytime because of the injury so he could even do that and stop play right after the keeper saved the shot..so in the penalty area of oppo or just outside it.

the guy who is hacked down is attacking so in order for him to play the thug onside later on in the play he must've got up and moved into his own half so there's effectively no injury and the ref cannot blow. he has to let play continue here.

Doesn't say that.

no, I implied it as if the guy who was hacked down was in his own half then play would have been stopped.
you cannot play advantage when a straight red challenge involving serious foul play has occurred unless there is a clear subsequent opportunity to score a goal.
in all other straight red instances play must be stopped immediately no matter how good the advantage.
it's highly unlikely that the clear subsequent oppurtunity arose from a player being fouled in his own half

[jizzemm]

Goal stands, send him off tho

Is the right answer I would say (frantically looking for my refs book)..

But I also think the referee can pull the play back to the original foul if the advantage has not produced anything and award the free kick and send the player off. There is flak for the referee whatever he decides, but Rookies answer I suspect is the correct one.
