That's a point. If that's not a red card offence, it should be

There's a difference between taking a 10 yarder by accident etc. and taking a 40 yarder that's going in.
If that was an outfield player who caught it, he's off no question. I think the backpass is secondary to preventing the ball going in the net to be honest.
might well be right Tubes, but we had far bigger problems than Dowd today anyway, like why we felt the need to take 3 touches for that free kick anyway, seriously what was the point, it ended up in the same spot anyway

Had a great picture of the game today, it was also the closest i'v ever came to walking away from an Everton match.

until we get a 20 goal a year scorer this will always be the case how many times have the likes of Spurs and the RS been down for bale/sewer rat to scrape a goal in thats what we needed but both anichebe and jelavic are not good enough, Vic is an impact player not good enough to lead the line from the start and jelavic needs selling in the summer would snap anyways hands off for £5 million for him
That's exactly what I was thinking.
There was no difference between what Sunderland's goalie did today and what Suarez did in the World Cup....or indeed Phil Neville in a Goodison derby a few years ago.
He used his hands to stop the ball going in the net illegally.
Even though he is a goalkeeper, the laws of the game stipulate he may not use his hands to control a back pass.
I would have thought that was a red card given the ball was goalbound.
...today just underliners that we need investment to take us to the next level. No blame on the Manager, if we had that bit of quality in the top third it makes so much difference, but unfortunately that quality costs.

It's a wonderful interpretation lads, but to send a keeper off for that is NOT in the laws of the game.
The pass to keeper rule, aka the backpass rule, is/was intended to keep the game moving faster and reduce time wasting. Any reference to stopping the ball going into the net was never made within the rule as a red card offence.
The law concerning stopping a goal scoring opportunity is in reference to cynical tackles when clean through with a ball at your feet.
You can't mix the two to suit your own ends.

But Suarez and Neville never made "cynical tackles" to stop clear goal scoring opportunities.
They stopped the ball going in with their hand and were sent off.
Same as the goalie did today.
I am sure you are right in what you say, BigBlueConk, it just seems a bit anamolous to me.

If he can't handball it then he is effectively an outfield player and should be treated the same as any outfield player in those circumstances. He should be off and it should have been a penalty.

It quite obviously shouldn't have been a penalty.
