Can a goal keeper be sent off?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
