He didn't even try and pull his hand away. Soft....

Thats a little like saying he didn't even try to avoid the leg the defender stuck out. Its not his job to get out of being grabbed. Its like most events in the box though, they pick and choose which ones are fouls and there is little consistency. One will be given as a penalty while another 3 should have been given as fouls on defenders. All a bit of a crap shoot.
 
It just makes me think he barely had any grip on him as I can't imagine many people wouldn't at least try and resist.

What do you mean. If anything it would suggest that he had quite a firm grip if he didn't pull his arm away. Who knows. Keepers get lots of protection and the general rule on penalties/fouls in the box is basically, did you brush him, if so its a foul. Its rarely a question of "was it enough".
