or maybe not...soooo...here goes...
Scott Carson gets a red card for bringing down Carlos Tevez...goes straight red...and he's suspended for one match...
Cristiano Ronaldo got his straight red and misses three matches..
what's the difference???
other than the fact that CR is a diving, cheating cnut???
well, usually refferees write down everything that happened on the game and deliver the info to the authorities. they make the decision of how many games a red card deserves. it depends on many factors like if it was 2 yellows or a straight red, if the intention was to play the ball or not, if they were any insult from the player before or after the red card, etc. that´s information we usually don´t get to read, not even the press, only the authorities.

Ronaldo's red card was for violent conduct, Carson's red would be for foul play. I'm only guessing here...
All depends on the offence, as recorded by the referee in his match report. Violent conduct carries a mandatory 3 match ban for the first offence in a season. This can be appealed against by the player's club. Ronaldo thus picked up a three match ban. If he is sent off a second time this season for violent conduct, he'll get a five match ban.
A straight red card for a "professional foul", denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, or "serious foul play" constitutes a one match ban. This can be appealed against by the player's club. Again though, if the player has already been dismissed this season, whatever that dismissal was for (including two yellow cards in the same game), the ban for subsequent red card will be longer.
If a player gets a red card as a result of two yellow cards in the same game, the ban will be one match, unless it's a second such red card, whereby it will be a longer ban. There is no appeal against a red card for two cautionable offences, though either of the cautions may be challenged at appeal.
ahhh...okay...thanks for the responses...
I thought any straight red went straight to three matches...
imagine that...I'm wrong again!!!
