A goalkeeper is not an outfield player.

 

A football team is made up of a goalkeeper and ten outfield players. Them's the facts.

 

So you're saying he's an infield player?

Would you argue that he doesn't play out on the field?

 

Outfield does not mean "out on the field" and this is true of a number of sports, not just football.

 

Just for quick reference from Wikipedia:

 

The outfield is a sporting term used in cricket and baseball to refer to the area of the field of play further from the batsman or batter than the infield. The term is also used in football (soccer) as an adjective describing any position other than that of goalkeeper.

Where did I say it meant out on the field?

 

Argue until you're blue in the face if you like, but a goalkeeper does play out on the field.  ;D

 

Of course he plays out on the field. That's totally irrelevant though, because "outfield" does not mean "out on the field" (to use your exact terminology). Thus, you're either arguing a totally irrelevant point, or arguing that "outfield" = "out on the field", neither of which really makes a whole lot of sense.

Am I? If you show me where I've said that, I'll be mightily fucking impressed.

I'm not arguing, I'm just being a cunt.
