Did Gordon get booked when he saved that Richardson shot against Wolves?
Another thought - a goalkeeper from a back pass is unable to handle the ball, just like an outfield player is not allowed. What is the difference between what Simon Mignolet did and an outfield player doing the same thing by catching the ball to save a certain goal?
The only difference, as far as I can see, is that the punishment for the offence is an indirect free kick rather than a penalty.
Either way, you're breaking the rules deliberately to deny a goal.
Not when facing a pass back they arent.
Goakeepers can handle it if the ball is a) in his box AND b) it isnt a pass back
If he infringes a) he is red carded as the law stands.
For me if he infringes b) as blatently and as deliberately as Mig did yesterday it should similarly be red.
I dont see why we treat the 2 differently![]()
Not a yellow

Gordon was booked incorrectly in the past too. I think we gave away a free kick against arsenal for it at home too via Whitehead and Gordon, but no booking IIRC.

Wasnt that against Hull from a Rico backpass?
The saved one where Gordon got booked could've been aye. When Turner scored then ran to the wrong fans?

It was against Wolves in the 5-2 and no he was not booked.

No its all been covered in the massive thread already posted on the subject.
I liked Mig's reaction of "what was I meant to do like?"
If he'd have been sent off Larsson should've been subbed for the replacement keeper to come on!
Ref couldn't have sent him off. That's the point, it's a crazy law when you get a red card for denying a goalscoring 'opportunity'
It's not. It's not a goalscoring opportunity, it's a backpass that in this case happened to be going in.
No more to be said really.

I dont get the distinction. An own goal counts the same as a goal last time I checked. One
We were all a little bit sick to the stomach when we saw that runt Luis Suarez celebrating after Ghana missed their pen in the World Cup after his deliberate handball. The difference between what Suarez did in the World Cup and what Mignolet did on Saturday, ethically, is negligible. They both knew it was wrong, they both decided to deny the other team a perfectly good goal, they both cheated, they both did so deliberately.
I understand the rules are the rules and as it stands the ref couldnt send him off. But they should change because this is an anomoly in the rules.
