Don’t get me wrong, I post quite a few clips because:My hope is that people (parents) realize that the viewing angles are so bad in the 2 referee system that "bad" calls will happen. Even acknowledging this would lead to people just getting on with things. You will get some for you and some against, but on the balance of things, everything will come out just about even.
never say never, but i tend to agree with this. don't look to make calls. Look for reasons not to make calls unless you have to, and certainly don't guess with your whistle. this is a horrible error in my opinion.But this brings up a good point about referring: you should never guess or assume a foul. The opposite is true - better to miss one or two calls because of bad/difficult positioning than to guess that a given play was a result of a foul. You can't call it if you didn't see it - the fact that someone fell doesn't mean they were fouled.
Reasonable for a penalty kick? Really?I guess it depends a little on how you feel about a kid getting kicked in the head. As long as you dont mind, the "let them get hurt" school makes sense.
To me, I mind. Throwing your head in the way of a running player puts both you and him at risk. Reasonable call.

Depends a lot on how close the keeper is to the attacker. There is some wiggle room between ”never go to ground” and “launch your head at his kicking foot”.Would you propose that keepers shouldn't be allowed to go to the ground in 1v1 situations? I didn't see anything wrong in the keepers technique that put him in any unnecessary peril. There is always risk in diving in front of an attacker, but that's part of the game if your a keeper.
tennis might be a better option.Depends a lot on how close the keeper is to the attacker. There is some wiggle room between ”never go to ground” and “launch your head at his kicking foot”.
I tend to be more on the side of protect the keeper. if the attacker is close enough to kick your head, then going to ground head first isn’t safe.
Singles, not doubles.tennis might be a better option.
If you want to prove your manliness, go join an adult league.tennis might be a better option.
Hard to tell but it looks like keeper grabs leg of offensive player.

i have no idea what that means.If you want to prove your manliness, go join an adult league.
The whole macho by proxy thing is pretty ridiculous.
I made a post on this on the Keeper Forum a while ago, but the whole notion of "protect the keeper" has no bearing on reality. The phrase was birthed in rec leagues where keepers don't know what they are doing and it is repeated by higher skilled leagues just as an excuse to pretend to be pissed off at the other team and the referee. (But it has been repeated so often that the original "pretend" has turned into actual anger now in many players) In reality and if anything... it should be protect the attacker, because any keeper that uses proper form only risks at most a bruise to themselves in most cases. The attacker on the other hand.... can potentially break a leg if they don't pull out of a 50/50 with a keeper.Depends a lot on how close the keeper is to the attacker.
