why football should take rugby measures in its approach.

Not 1 Challenge per half, look at Stoke-Spurs earlier in season, we needed at least 4 Challenges in that game for fucks sake. 1 is not enough.

But if each correct challenge doesn't come off of your total challenges then it wouldn't matter because they'd all be correct.

I think 2 would be fair, I could see it being harsh if you incorrectly call one, and then don't have a challenge when something genuinely goes against you.

But for the record, I can't see this ever being introduced (despite it being a very good and viable idea).

What leagues have this? You see the coverage in the championship? Tv is crazy. Are all top flight Italian games with a tv, let alone poorer countries.

For me one of the beauties of the game is it is in essences the same every where. You risk taking the game away from the common man

Cech denied a clear goal scoring opportunity. Adebayor's.

Not according to FIFA, I refer you to their document "Interpretation of the Laws of the Game - Law 12", which says:

"If the referee applies advantage during an obvious goalscoring opportunity and a goal is scored directly, despite the opponent’s handling the ball or fouling an opponent, the player cannot be sent off but he may still be cautioned."

...so with the ball breaking to the other attacking player in attendance who slots the ball home for a easy goal... Advantage played. Goal. No red card. Yellow, maybe...

Secondly, clattering someone because you're 2 on 1 is violent conduct.

...except it wasn't. Violent conduct is defined in the FIFA document linked above thus:

"A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.

He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against a team-mate, spectator, match offi cial or any other person."

In every rule you cited you missed out the key part: "If the referee's opinion......"
