Why do keepers get away with it?
Almost every game I watch I see a goalie foul players during corners etc and they get the freekick for a foul on them when it should be the other way.
Also Lloris against man utd on New Year's Day lunged out two footed and nothing was said if this was an outfield player there would be cries for a straight red. Also anyone watching the man city game today seen thier keeper jump out at the ball with his studs showing at head height and yet again not even a mention yet it should have been a red and a pen to Blackburn.
I know keepers need protected but to me they get far to much why is this?

They certainly have no right to lunge two footed at players or jump all over other players.
Actually, if not by the referree, quite a lot was made of the Lloris incident in the media and in here, so I think many folk agree with you.
As to how we have got where we are, with this stange sense from officialdom that that's OK because it's the goalkeeper, I have no idea nor can I see any justification for it in any laws.
And that is relevant how ? It is often done in the vicinity of other players, who have to take avoiding action. Plenty outfield players are dismissed while barely or not even touching the opponent.
Actualy going back rather, but that French player that the German goalkeeper, Schumacher, wiped out at Spain '82 might have some thoughts on the matter.
Doesn't matter if it's once or one hundred injuries they get away with with why?
And for your quoted head high did you watch the match? It was a red everyday of the week yet nothin will come of it
It does amuse though when a keeper climbs all over an opposing player and then gets given the foul in their favour.
Not that I'm suggesting TV likes to use the worst angles to make things look worse, and then to get very over-excited. That would be crazzzy.
Patrick Battiston. Horrible incident.:( Platini thought he was dead.
There's a new one, punishment based around the extent to which a player is injured.
Red card only if you basically kill the opponent?
It seems that the interpetation of the laws for whatever happens in the box is different for what happens outside the box. Another action which seems to go unpunished is when the attacking player gets his shot away and is then taken out by a late tackle from the defending team. I suppose it revolves around whether there is ant advantage, but more often than not there isn't. Anywhere else on the field and it would be a freekick for a lot tackle, and even if advantage is played then the ref should be going back and booking the defender for what is often a cynical lunge. Also, what is all this "good play from the defender, he just did enough there" when they really mean he committed a foul and got away with it.
You were given Harald Schumacher earlier in the thread.
Sorry if you are unable to read.
I think I'll leave you to it.
Noone else is arguing injury as a relevant factor regardless.

This is the way to do it 😄
Every team and every player tries it on at one time or another. If we consistently rose against it, rather than just when it cost our team, then things may change.
Even as a Liverpool fan, Skrtel's use of his arms when defending is laughably extreme and it's going to cost us soon if something is not done. Officials have let it go so far that it's now commonplace at corners and free kicks. Goalkeepers push yet are also deliberately obstructed.
It's like anything in life. Give an inch and some will take a mile.
Weak authorities and weak officiating.
How many red card tackles actually cause major injuries?
Since when was that a benchmark?
