Some strange goalkeeper incidents today:

Made a mistake when a keeper gained control of ball, then pushed an attacker, which would have been a penalty. Not sure why, but seeing the keeper with ball in hand deceived me into not giving it; you have to be prepared for any scenario, I guess.

Next, a home defender passes to keeper and it's too short; away attacker challenges for ball with keeper and gets a foot on the ball. Then keeper picks it up. I wasn't quite sure in the moment if the play was not essentially reset after the attacker challenged for it, so gave nothing. Is that still an IFK for keeper handling ball from team mate?

Last one, which I actually got right: keeper carries ball in hands way out of the area, not apparently aware..

Not all contact is necessarily a foul. Although a push is I suppose if the GK thought they were being impeded from releasing the ball they might try and 'move'the attacker out of the way. With Junior football too it's often about context and age group too. What age group was it?

U16 girls; yes, it was a case of moving the attacker out of the way and because of the relatively low force in challenges during the rest of the match, it stuck out. As you say, in other matches it might have been more in keeping with context.

Might not be totally in line with law, but I'd be looking for a GK to actually knock an opponent over before I'm even thinking abut a penalty when the ball is comfortably in their hands.

And even that is assuming the attacker didn't deliberately move into the GK's way, in which case the interfering with the GK's release FK comes first. Albeit that does open up the possibility for a yellow for AAA after the offence. Harder more complex sell, but also possibly fairest overall.
