Question about rules, sportsmanship etc

1: How do red cards work? I saw Torres get straight red he was gone for 3 games... Cole got straight red gone for 1 game, why?

2: Chelsea vs Arsenal, Lampard goes injured on the pitch who play resumes, then the players see Lamps is injured, who gets the ball given to them if Chelsea kicks the ball out and who gets the ball if Arsenal kick it out of play?

3: The other Team was awarded a free kick because Terry didn't jump for the ball and put his back in a horizontal way when the player he was making jumped... is that illegal?

AFAIK

1: A straight red for violent conduct is a 3 game ban. If you however get one for "being the last man" stopping a goal scoring chance it would be only 1 game.

2: When you kick out the ball to stop play for an injury to an opposing player, the other team would normally throw the ball in and return it to you. If you kick out the ball to stop play for one of your players injured, then I assume the other team would return the ball to you.

3. Not sure about this one. They way freekicks are awarded for both players contesting the ball is dodgy as hell.

1. You can also appeal a ban sometimes to get it reduced. It also depends on if its your first red for the season or if you're a serial offender.

Depends on the offence. Up to the FA to decide the length of the ban.

Usually the ball is returned to the team that was in possession when it was kicked out.

Again subjective, sometimes players get booked for "backing in" often you'll see fouls be given for these kind of things if one player makes no attempt to head the ball and rather just trys to push the jumping player around.
