How many games do you miss for a red card in Premier League? Is the ban for 3 games or more?
The Premier League follows the Laws of the Game that is a universally agreed to rules and regulations for football globally. But the amount of substitutes every team is allowed per game, the number of players they can have on the bench, the number of teams in the league, and the amount of games you miss for a straight red card are some of many variables that depend on the league itself.
So, with Andy Robertson’s undeserved and wrong given red card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yesterday- the first red for a Liverpool player in almost two years- fans have been wondering how many games he will miss, and what the rule is in general.
How many games do you miss for a red card in Premier League?
After getting a straight red card, a player can miss two games for dissent, which can then increase for up to more than 4 games in extreme cases. The situation varies. If the player is sent off for not respecting the referee or a similar issue, he will miss two games.
But if the red card resulted from a dangerous tackle, it will mean a three game ban for the player. If the conduct is especially violent, such as headbutting, punching, or anything equally or more severe, then the FA reserves the right to extend that ban.

So, as it turns out, the rules can differ. FIFA also holds the authority to impose a complete ban of football if a player is especially violent in his conduct or has been found taking drugs. The ban can even be imposed for missing a drug test. John Terry, Adrian Mutu, and Diego Maradona are just some of the names that come to mind.
Luis Suarez getting a red card for biting a player in the FIFA World Cup resulted in him missing 8 games for Liverpool in the Premier League. The bans can be appealed and reduced, especially if the on-field decision is later found out to be harsh. And for a red card resulting from two yellows, the ban is just one match for the player.
So in the case of Andy Robertson, the Scotland captain will miss three games unless Liverpool appeal the decision.
