Well again, the keeper may have 'won the race', but the keeper still committed a foul to win the ball. So, the keeper winning the race is now irrelevant.I was looking more at the 'keeper wins the race' part in the OP. I guess YHTBT then plays a part as I'm actually debating this with no clue as to how far aware the striker and keeper are away from each other.
When you're thinking about DOGSO, you basically delete the entire player committing the foul.
There's enough doubt here (and plausibility!) to say what you did was correct
1: It's a 50/50 between the players. That's POSSIBLE, not OBVIOUS.
2: It's rained heavily and the lines are obscured. Any chance the keeper has caught the ball legitimately inside the penalty area but momentum, and difficulty stopping has carried him out? If so, no opportunity has been unfairly denied.
3: It's rained heavily. Good chance ball could hold up and not roll through anyway. Again, that's POSSIBLE, not OBVIOUS.
4: It's rained heavily. They're under 14s. Someone's likely to end up on their backside chasing the ball.
1) OBVIOUS OPPORTUNITY
2) That would be right - if he handled it inside then carried it outside
3) As he said, had the keeper not fouled the striker was running onto the ball with no other defenders around
4) That's simply not a consideration.
