Should the goal keeper be forced to stay in the goal?

A Spanish second division player was tragically killed after the opposing teams goal keeper charged into midfield and kneed him in the chest, at a full speed. The keeper is now fancing potential manslaughter charges. Fans say the challenge was reckless and uncalled for, and are now pushing for rules to be changed accross all levels to prevent the goal keeper from leaving his box to challege an attacking player.

I don’t think keepers should be forced to stay in the goal. ⚽
Modern football relies on “sweeper-keepers,” and restricting them would totally change tactics and flow.

The issue is reckless challenges, not their position on the pitch. Stronger enforcement of dangerous play, clearer guidelines on leading with knees/arms, and better education for keepers would improve safety without ruining the sport.

I don't like football, so, maybe I'm going to express a stupid opinion, but I think football players should wear something that protects them.

Noooooooooooo. These kinds of serious injuries are extremely rare

No. There have been countless similar fouls where the player involved wasn't a goal keeper. It was a tragic accident and a rule like that won't change anything.

That's really sick
