[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The keeper on my sons team is very aggressive coming out. He takes out an opposing player at least every other game. Other teams parents always yell and complain. The official usually just says play on or warns the other player not to run into the keeper. Ive seen some teams hesitate to make runs in the box afterwards. Our coach always praise the Keeper sayin "own your box". [/quote]

A keeper cannot take out an opposing player. I've seen keepers get Red cards for it. [/quote]

If a keeper is not in possession of the ball, he's basically a field player.  Once he possesses the ball in his hands, he cannot be touched.  But if he is dribbling, attempting to header or punch, attempting to catch - he's just like any other player on the field.  And like any other player, the opposing player must play the ball, not the keeper.  A clean tackle of a keeper (meaning you get to the ball 1st) is the same as a clean tackle of a field player.

You are not wrong. If a player is trying to tackle someone who is prone or on the ground, or [b]kicking their leg near their head or hands[/b] it is a foul regardless of their position. Clean tackles on goalies in the box are rare for that reason.[/quote]

Only if their head is in a natural position.  A head first header where a player is heading a ball 2 or 3 feet above the ground is such a situation.  Kicking a head 5 feet off the ground is dangerous play, 2 feet off the ground depends upon what the Ref sees.[/quote]

No. Rules don’t read that way. [b]Kicking at a players head that is 2 feet off the ground is dangerous play.[/b]

Playing a ball near the head of a player prone on the ground is likely to be a foul on the prone player, not the player trying to fairly play the ball. What on earth is a player doing on the ground? Playing dangerously (to himself).

Kicking at a player's head 5ft off the ground is a foul on the Kicker
Kicking at a player's head 2 ft off the ground is a foul on the person who put themselves in danger's way. (i.e. the Kickee) .... I'll grant a 1 in 10 chance that the kicker **could** be at fault, but very unusual.

Rules don’t change based on what ref sees.[/quote]

I agree you cannot kick at a players head intentionally.  Kicking at a ball that is bouncing 2 feet off the ground that another player decides to try to head is a different matter.[/quote]

Nope. [/quote]

"Playing in a dangerous manner

Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the
ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes
preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury."

It's an indirect free kick.  5 ft high kick is dangerous or 2 ft high header is dangerous if they prevents a nearby player from playing the ball.
