Best Answer

If the goal keeper is sent off they may not be substituted for.

The team has 2 choices. They may name a player, who is already on the field, as the goal keeper or, if they have substitutions remaining, they may substitute a player for another goal keeper.

One player on the field of play must be the designated goal keeper. Play may not continue without one.

Yes, a goalkeeper may be sent off just like any other player.

A replacement goalkeeper must be named for the match to continue. Either a field player must change or a field player substituted for another goalkeeper from the bench.

Yes. The goalkeeper is subject to all the same rules as any outfield player. The exception here is that a goalkeeper within his own penalty area (the 18 yard box around his own goal) cannot be shown the red card and sent off for DG-H (denying a goal by handling), because the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball within that area. He can still get a red card for DG-H outside of his penalty area, and can be sent off for any other the other six sending-off offenses at any time.

If The ball is in play goalkeeper hold the ball an opponent standing outside the goal line then the goalkeeper strike to the opponent violently with ball what decision taken by the referee?

"Outside the goal line" would mean the player is off the field of play entirely? This would mean the keeper threw it off the field first and the restart would be a corner kick. It is not a foul, which must be on the field, but it would be misconduct. The goal keeper would be sent off for violent conduct. I believe the question you wrote was worded wrongly and is not what you intended to ask. I think you meant to ask, "What if the player is outside of the penalty area?" The restart would be a direct free kick, not a penalty kick, as the infraction occurred where the ball struck the player. Serious foul play would apply and the goal keeper would still be sent off.
