Quote from: Saint4life on October 11, 2024, 02:48:44 PMTo clarify the red was giving to the goalkeeper for catching the ball outside of the box and was awarded a direct free kick. There was no foul whatsoever.
Here is the link if anyone wants to rewatch:

It was very poor judgement by the keeper who could've easily waited to take the ball into the box which is why I believe a yellow card should've been given. The buff attacker never touched the ball which came from a long ball from the CB and slowed down when realising he will not get it. In my opinion it was not clear goal scoring opportunity and a red card was wrong.
It should've been a red card if the Buff attacker gets to the ball first and tries to play it by the keeper in whatever way or if both play try to beat each other to the ball and the keeper decides to deny the chance for the attacker to reach the ball.
Have a look as I would be interested in hearing other opinions.
Is it harsh? Yes, but by the laws of the game that's a red for DOGSO. You can see the center go over and confirm with the AR before pulling out the red. Looks like the buff state attacker had position on both of the cbs and would have been in on goal if the keeper missed the ball. Either way poor decision on the keepers part and will be a good learning opportunity.
