Hmmm... is that clearer?

"Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity in the penalty area is no longer a straight red card - unless the offence is holding, pulling or pushing; there's no attempt to play or no possibility of making a challenge; or it's an offence which is punishable by a red card, no matter where on the pitch it happens - violent conduct, for example."

So you can be sent off for some things (which can be quite innocuous) and not for others.

Also goalkeepers might as well foul players going round them. Nothing to lose.
