A cute goalkeeper doesn't need to make half the saves that he should have to, just has to learn how to jump into attackers and fall to the ground.

I agree, there is possibly too much protection for goalies, but last night, the decision was correct. Terry was stopping the Goalie from Jumping therefore no goal.
This is slightly off topic, but only slightly. Can someone clear something up for me, i thought that when taking a penalty it was classed as 'ungentlemanly Contuct' to stop and start before taking it, like Ronaldo did, therefore the pen should be taken again. I seem to remeber something about this, but i'm not sure
