However, from FIFA interpretations, if Howard was instructed to restart the match, and then dawdled, I can see why, even if there were other problems, he was given the card, although it might have been a dumb call.

I doubt that was the case, Brother. The referee was in the middle of the usual melee after a dirty foul and subsequent red card. While the referee was restoring calm, Howard hobbled away from the group and tossed the ball in pain/frustration. Given the activities, it was a minute or so before any restart was possible.
