Headgear

Shouldn't you/we penalize the keeper with a dangerous play? The laws only provide that a keeper cannot be challenged when they are in possession of the ball with their hands. If not, aren't they the same as any other player playing the ball on the the ground with others challenging, who are penalized for dangerous play? Or are players allowed to sit on a ball and smile (keeper or not?)

Law 18: Common Sense

I was watching my DDs U12 team play. Her keeper came out late but got to the ball before the attacking player did. The keeper got kicked and her coach yelled out to the CR about protecting the keeper but the CR just told him to calm down. The AR turned to me and said that if the keeper got hurt it would've been her own fault for coming out so late...

Nice response by the AR putting the blame on the keeper. My keeper have been wearing a Storelli head gear for years. I want to share a concussion indecent with my keep where the CR informed me after the game the contact was clean.

It was a corner play and the opponent came from her backside with a running start. She had her eyes on the ball and the opponent with a running start jump towards her back. As they collided the opponent elbowed my keeper behind her neck (of course not SEEN by the CR or AR). She “blackout” and was carted off to the trainers tent. She didn’t pass the concussion protocol and unable to play the rest of tournament. We took her to urgent care and confirmed her concussion.

Here’s my point, I take still pictures and got clean pictureS of this sequence. As discribed above, the opponent clearly didn’t play the ball as she had her back with her elbow connecting to my DD’s back of neck. I will not pose the picture but this was during the Man City tournament a few years ago.

As mentioned, after the game, the ref came to me to tell me, it was a clean play. I didn’t say anything since I was busy taking pics.

No, because keepers are allowed to use their hands, arms, etc. All 11 players are allowed to go to the ground (slide tackle). All players owe a "duty of care" to the other players, including the keeper. When players are not "careful," its a foul for being "careless." If a keeper goes to the ground to save a ball with their hands then all players owe a duty of care to not kick at the ball in a manner that would potentially injure the keeper. If the keeper gets there first and misplays the ball then that duty of care still applies, but the attacker is free to attempt to play the ball in a manner that is careful. When other players play from the ground (perfectly legal), the "dangerous play" condition is heightened because, unlike keepers, there is no prohibition from playing a ball in the possession of a non-keeper.

Until the powers that be finally decide that the game needs more then three Refs we will have to deal with these type of plays.
