Rakennusmestari Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've seen this happen twice in FM so far, and in both cases they've only received a yellow card. Yet last season (IIRC) Buffon was sent off for exactly the same offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon157uk Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't think they have to be sent off, I think it all depends on the situation in which he handles it..... not sure though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I think it's only if they are on the path to goal, on a wide position or going away from goal it's only a booking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Handling the ball is a yellow card. Preventing a goal scoring opportunity is a red card. Irl a goalie won't handle the ball unless preventing a goal scoring opportunity (or he must really be somewhere else with his mind), while in FM goalies tend to slide halfway across the field everytime they dive for the ball, so they tend to end up outside the box with the ball in their hands while nobody is even close, so they don't deny a goalscoring opportunity.

RonnyDonny Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Didn't Oliver Kahn once punch the ball when he was upfield for an attacking corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenS66 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Didn't Oliver Kahn once punch the ball when he was upfield for an attacking corner. Yes, and he scored! And he got a second yellow and was sent off... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yes, and he scored! And he got a second yellow and was sent off... And replied with the epic quote: I thought goalies were allowed to handle the ball inside the penalty area! Good ol' Kahn, such a shame that he already retired.

FrazT Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've seen this happen twice in FM so far, and in both cases they've only received a yellow card. Yet last season (IIRC) Buffon was sent off for exactly the same offence. It is not always handled properly by the match engine but it should be dependant on the circumstances. Deliberate handball should be a yellow card- deiberate handball denying the opposition a clear goal scoring opportunity should be a red card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluraven Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've seen both the game and real life get it right, and get it wrong, in different circumstances! Fraz and others have said what should happen, it is not as automatic as goalie handles ball outside area = red card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ol' Kahn, such a shame that he already retired. That's a good sense of humour. Quite a good goal I bet even though it didn't count. It'd probably be hard to get out of your mind if a GK about handling the ball, it'd probably come naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieVilla Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hmm well im not a rules expert but i always thought it was red card offence aswell (tho i think i remember Sorensen getting yellow for Villa for handball a good few years ago) happened in my save game aswell, Craig Gordon handled outside the box and i thought, oh crap, was a big game aswell i think against Celtic but to my surprise and joy he got yellow PS - Oliver Kahn, Legend, best GK of his generation imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aTherapist Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Never happened to me although in the 3D TV view I've seen AI's and my own keeper(s) doing it a zillion times. I'm amazed it actually happened to someone haha! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
