I agree.

I am very conservative when it comes to rule changes in soccer, but I think the time might have come for some sort of video refereeing for decisive situations, like penalties and red cards.

It would be more fair, and would take a lot of pressure of the referees.

Saudi Arabia playing at the moment. The Saudi Sheiks cannot be too happy :-P

They can try that out in, say, a U-20 competition to see how it works.

One minor change -- not so much a change as an interpretation -- I would like to see is to the offsides rule. Right now, you're flagged for offside unless you are clearly onside (and sometimes even then). I'd like the linesmen to be instructed that you're onside unless clearly offside. That should open up attack a little more.
