If a goalkeeper gets a red card, can the team substitute another player for their second goalkeeper? Effectivly being 1 say, midfielder down instead?

Of course they can

This pretty much happens every single time a goalkeeper gets sent off.

The only time this doesn't happen is when the team have already used all their subs.

It's also awesome when this happens, watching an outfield player having to go in the nets and look like a fish out of water.

Apart from when it happens to your own team, obviously.
