Sometimes fans of big clubs need a reality check. Other clubs aren't there soley to do what you want.

It's a dangerous challenge, just like it doesn't matter if you get the ball in a studs showing tackle. The whistle hadn't gone and there was no doubt the keeper would've walked then. "The other player just got there first" could be applied as a defence for the majority of sending offs anyway.
Apparently there was this exchange in the BBC interview:
bbc: Paul Lambert said ramires dived for the penalty
avb: Paul Lambert has a good imagination. shame he didnt show any imagination on the pitch.
Bit of a zing there.

I don't think this is quite the same. When going up with a goalkeeper you will always run the risk of injury. It is head vs fist, it really isn't something I would be doing. On the floor it is a totally different thing to a late tackle.
To me, it feels like you are saying that because Drogba jumped first or or responded faster that the keeper should not have even tried to get the ball.

We are defensively naive and need to wise up fast.
Shame as despite my pessimistic outlook the bbc pundits said he were good value for a draw until the 80th min.

Sorry, you're the one smoking something.
If play hadn't stopped, that would've been a red card. Drogba gets to the ball first, The keeper only gets a touch afterwards because he went through drogba. Even not taking into account potential violent conduct it was a foul that would've prevented a goal scoring chance.
As it was, play had stopped and the keeper was incredibly lucky as a result.
