Much like the two earlier handball shouts.

That would not result in any punishment for the keeper,unless it stopped a goalscoring opportunity. Otherwise a yellow at best. It's a strange law when it comes to keepers handling the ball.

[sir roger]

I assume it would have been considered a goalscoring opportunity if he stopped a shot out of the box.

Not always. It's been a topic among other refs on a forum I frequent.

[Torvald Utne]

Don't be silly, it was literally a shot on goal

[sir roger]

So if he stopped a goalbound shot without anybody else there to stop it,  by handling outside his area , it wouldn't be anything other than a free kick?

Genuine question, do the refs on that forum share in the low opinion that we have for PGMOL on here?

To me it looked like the body was outside but his arms might be on the line. 
 

The Twitter link I posted earlier in the Nunez thread kind of back it up, but it was very low quality so it was all a little blurred. 
 

 

Hard to see the ball there! The keeper is clearly on the line there though, which is in the box.

I'd say as most of us are recreational and semi pro the answer is yes,a fair few. And VAR is not popular at this level either,as fans too of course.

The referee would do everything they could to not send him off. The spate of sending offs of GKs a while back seemed to die out as it was yet another 'directive' that didn't last long. Other than a blatant foul as the last man my bet would be a yellow for the GK. Would you think an outfield player would be punished with a red card if deliberately handling outside the box as that's how a keeper would be treated. If a keeper oversteps his area with the ball a free kick is given but no sanction to the GK.

It’s Tuesday morning. It’s fan denial and piss cake time. Take it away scutters.
