[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another rules question here:

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?  [/quote]

No foul[/quote]

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?[/quote]

If keeper made no contact with ball, foul
If keeper got a hand on ball, no foul[/quote]

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. [/quote]

That may be true, but generally refs give the benefit of the doubt if the defender is playing the ball vs. the opponent. Hence, why no call often. Soccer like most sports has a lot of judgment calls, which is where the arguing comes into play. Hand ball is a great example. “Natural” position. That is judgement. Makes for good TV drama in the pros.  [/quote]
