[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rules should be adapted. GKs have no protection. My DD played in college and has the concussion history to prove it. They were all on flagrant fouls after she had possession for seconds. These were not accidental contact, but pissed off field players. Only half were carded.  She was highly awarded and set records. You can't be a good GK and not get hurt. DD is done playing and still has back problems. You've got to go hard or you don't get the save.[/quote]

No, GKs have protection in their box. You had bad refs, doesn’t mean the laws need to be changed.[/quote]

The box offers no protection to the GK, only getting the ball is worth anything. GK is a tough position and they get banged up whether or not a foul is actually called.[/quote]

Yes, they are protected more than other players in the box, it’s one of the unwritten rules of the sport. Due to the nature of the position, of course they’ll get banged up. Their job is literally to put their body on the line to keep the ball from going in.[/quote]
