Attacker had the ball on her foot, dribbled around the goalie, goalie dove (in an effort to knock the ball away), never got the ball, but took the defender's legs out. Right at the top of the 6.

So now that you asked your question and got a bunch of responses, what do you think the correct call is? Include any cards that you would give and what the restart would be.

Player is 1v1 against the GK. Player dribbles around GK, GK dives to try and play the ball and "takes out" player without touching the ball, preventing player from getting a shot on goal. Foul?

No foul

Why not?

Are there, therefore, no restrictions on the GK making forcible contact with a player to prevent a scoring opportunity as long as the GK appears to be trying to make play on the ball?

If keeper made no contact with ball, foul
If keeper got a hand on ball, no foul

No where in the laws does it say that, if the defender gets the ball first, there is no foul. So just keep that in mind. A player can get to the ball and still foul. So many people yell….but he got the ball. Just saying.

Exactly. This exact play happened this weekend where Pogba got a red card when he got the ball. The ref initially called it as a yellow, but then went to red upon VAR review.

That Pogba clip is a two-footed studs up challenge - that is a straight red every time.

I didn't feel this was even negligent or overtly dangerous. GK made a legitimate play to try and poke the ball away and failed, resulting in contact with offensive player. Foul, no harm.

The basic rubric that they teach concerning whether it should be a normal foul, a YC or a RC is to ask if the foul was careless, reckless, or did it use excessive force.
As to your play specifically, the foul denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity, which used to be and automatic RC, but now can be a YC in specific circumstances.

Score sells a slightly cheaper version of the standard ref uniform and offers starter kits.

You can also get alternative brands on Amazon--can't vouch for quality of any of them. I don't recommend buying him all 5 colors unless you're sure he's going to stick with it. Get him yellow to start.

Oh yeah -- few teams in this area wear yellow, so definitely get that. Black is a good second option. I also got green and might bust it out on occasion just for sake of variety, but there's no need for a beginner to get three. The odds of a yellow team playing a black team are pretty slim.

This advice is fine if you ref by yourself but normally games have three officials and they each need to wear the same color jerseys. Very few officials in my experience have black, so that would be the last color I would get. When you get certified, they usually tell you to get yellow first, then green, then blue, then red, then black. I haven't been refereeing very long but I have over 150 guys under my belt and I think I've seen black worn twice.
