What are your thoughts on these two issues?
1. I tend to agree that if a player receives a caution for a tackle, he should stay off until the injured player or a substitute re-enters. There might be some issues around creating an incentive for the tackled player to go off when they don't really need to, and when the tackled team has no subs left, removing the difference between a yellow and red card (disregarding suspensions).
2. I can see the point here - if my bad tackle stops an opponent taking a one-on-one shot from about 12 yards out, not only do I get sent off, he still gets to take a one-on-one shot from 12 yards out. But in my opinion, whichever way this was introduced would lead to problems.
If the law was changed so DOGSO was either RC + DFK, RC + IDFK or YC + PEN, you do get the issue mentioned in the article, where the team whose shot is stopped by a hand on the line might be left with nothing - no 1-man advantage, and no goal if the penalty is missed.
On the other hand, having a different rule for DOGSO and DOG (denying an obvious goal) might leave too much of a grey area between opportunities and certain goals.
