Irrelevant here - goalkeeper cannot be cautioned or sent off for handling inside their own penalty area when not allowed to do so (except if it's a double touch from a restart which prevents a promising attack or DOGSO, in which case you are punishing the double touch, not the handling)
Thinking about it, that makes sense. I always confuse the two.

It's only restating the same thing, but I just remind myself that the keeper can't ever be DOGSO-H in the penalty area. That way, I identify the right offence and have something to say to all the other players/managers when they inevitably argue!
