It seems that the available penalties are either too harsh or too mild.  Seeing "a ton more PK's" would not be popular because that would become the overriding factor in the outcome of the game.  Yellow cards don't have an immediate consequence other than a free kick, which sometimes creates a nice scoring opportunity but often doesn't.  Accumulating them or getting a red card leads to a large suspension that can affect entire seasons.  Question:  When a player is kicked out of a game, I believe his team has to finish the game short-handed - does that carry on into the ensuing suspension?  Or can the team insert another player to fill the spot?
 
Maybe some sort of penalty box for minor infractions would work, with the time of the sentence adjusted for the game - like 5- and 10-minute shorthanded periods, depending on the infraction or location of the foul.  It would increase scoring chances while keeping a semblance of the game and lead to reductions in holding, diving, etc.
