Agree. But we should always be seeking to get the correct restart.Ultimately it doesn't really matter, this incident has to happen inside the penalty area of the goalkeepers team, and as such they are highly unlikely to score directly from the resulting free kick (direct or indirect)
It feels like they lobbed that bit in there as a clarification a keeper can't be challenged rather than intending it to be as an indication of the restart. Else i'd have expected it to just be in the prior list of idfk offences.The section of law you have quoted is under Indirect Free Kick so that gives you the answer and this applies to the situations quoted above it (IE when the goalkeeper is deemed to be in control of the ball)
If a player commits an offence that involves contact with the goalkeeper (or any other player) in a manner that is careless, reckless or with excessive force then the restart is a direct free kick and correct disciplinary action follows.
Thank you. Doesn't seem much of a deterrent to the attacker. Could it be seen as an unsporting YC?Agree. But we should always be seeking to get the correct restart.

Bearing in mind most challenges on a keeper are likely to involve contact, I'd be inclined to lean towards DFK, as 12.1 says that offences involving contact should be penalised with DFK.
And just to add, very easy to say challenging a keeper when in control is easily a careless foul. Unless the offence is preventing release or attempting to kick whilst releasing as the law clearly states this is idfk and again would caveat providing no contact between players.
Not really in its own right. It would need to be done in a reckless manner for a caution .Thank you. Doesn't seem much of a deterrent to the attacker. Could it be seen as an unsporting YC?
Any offence against a member of the defending team near their own goal line is not going to lead to a goal for them immediately so don't over-think it, just award the appropriate type of free kick, speak to the offender if needed and then get out of there!Thank you.

Wise words. Thank you all.Any offence against a member of the defending team near their own goal line is not going to lead to a goal for them immediately so don't over-think it, just award the appropriate type of free kick, speak to the offender if needed and then get out of there!
