So when a player trips another with...

with his feet and with intention of getting the ball, you think they should be sent off? A keeper is allowed to use his hands so goes for the ball with them, when he mistimes it and then pulls them down it's no different from the situation above in my opinion. I know he was outside the area, but only just. I agree with the referee on this, but we may both be wrong of course.
