I may be wrong and would need to see it again, but did he not come out punch the ball clear and there was a collision after that? If that is the case, it is very harsh to blame the keeper or suggest that it is anyway a foul. Again, unless I missed something on the shit iFollow replays, it would be no different to someone winning a header and then there being a collision afterwards. Unfortunately, in a sport where you can compete for a ball in the air these things can happen and I am wishing Baka a very speedy recovery.
It's more the amount of protection a keeper gets in return that annoys me. Sneeze in their general direction and it's a foul, but they have the added advantage of being able to use their fists legitimately!I may be wrong and would need to see it again, but did he not come out punch the ball clear and there was a collision after that?

Hopefully he has now woken up thinking he is Pele.

I have never understood why a keeper is the only player allowed to jump into a player with his knee raised.
Tbh JHB keepers are coached to do itIn fairness it’s pretty difficult to jump with your arms up in the air to catch a ball without raising one knee.
How the hell is it not reckless to knock a player out!! I hear you and I do recognise that their reaction was magnificent but the keeper had no regard whatsoever for bakayoko when he made that challenge
But if you raise your foot and catch someone in the face you know the consequences might be and and the law recognises this. Similar with going to ground and sliding in and having your foot up. Surely jumping into someone’s head you know what the consequence might beIt's a contact sport Pete. As unfortunate as it is, things like this do happen.

Stuart Linnell beat you to that joke last night aha
Beginning to think he might write your other jokes too...
Think you are being overly sensitive personally. In literally any sport, a player can be knocked unconscious and it just be an accident. A keeper has come to claim the ball, he has claimed the ball. Bakayoko has risen to a challenge he was probably not going to win (brave of him) and the keeper has claimed the ball and Baka has really unfortunately had a big collision and got injured. The equivalent elsewhere on the pitch may well not be a foul. A player could win a header, another player mistime their jump head the other players head and be knocked unconscious. Hard to see how that is remotely the player who wins the headers fault?But if you raise your foot and catch someone in the face you know the consequences might be and and the law recognises this.

It’s fine I’m thinking through what my decision would have been as a ref. Outside the box it’s a definite foul and red card. If the attacker has the ball it’s definitely a red and a penalty
Just trying to understand
Interesting opinions

I have just rewatched and It wasn't a raised knee as someone suggested, it was just the force of the collision.
I am really struggling to see the angle of how this is a talking point to be honest. If the idea is we prevent all aerial contact, okay, not sure I agree with it but there's an argument for it. Are we saying keepers can't come out and punch a ball? I really don't know what we're trying to say.

However, outfield players have to go with their head the keeper goes with their hands.Thanks that’s reasonable

He was clearly KO’d before he hit the floor if that’s against the keeper it’s a free kickIt wasn’t a foul he punched the ball and got injured as he fell

Hw was out cold mid airwell an outfield player can’t punch the ball. The injury occurred as they clashed and he landed on the back of his head
