Not wanting to put down a fellow referee BUT, GK handling the ball outside penalty area is NOT an automatic red card. It wasn't an obvious goalscoring opportunity or denying a goal, so a yellow would have been correct, rogue pitch markings or not! Edit - Some on RefChat are saying not even a yellow as it would have to be for "Breaking Up a Promising Attack" and you could argue it didn't even do that as attacker not near the ball. Most agree though, that for the sake 'game management'! a yellow was a good idea! [Post edited 13 Mar 2023 11:57]
