IDFK no sanction

Followed by inevitable cautions for failure to respect the distance at the ensuing restart

IDFK no sanction

Is that not DOGSO though? Ball is going in otherwise.

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)

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!
