would have thought that no penalty would be awarded as long as the ref saw that it was outside the area but if it was a harsh challenge, the defender could be booked.

But us punters, 100m from a blatant foul right under the ref's nose, can always tell when he gets a decision wrong!
AND the ref never knows what he's doing...

The attacking player is permitted to leave the field to avoid an obstacle while playing the ball. By sticking his foot out with the clear intent to trip the attacker, the defender has committed the foul of 'attempting to trip', which is punishable by a direct free kick (and, therefore, as it was committed by a defender inside his own penalty area, the restart now becomes a penalty kick). Although the eventual result of the attempt was an actual trip of the attacker, the attempt occurred inside the field. Because the successful result of the attempt occurred off the field, the restart would have to be a dropped ball (misconduct occurring off the field) and no red card could be given even if there were an obvious goal scoring situation because such a card cannot be given if the restart is not a free kick.
Fairness and common sense would suggest that the player should be punished in the most severe way and that could be done only if the referee decided to stop play for the foul of 'attempting to trip'.

You're not telling me that every time a player goes to take a throw-in he "technically" should ask permission to leave and re-enter the "field of play"? That would be crazy...
No because referee is giving him permission to take the throw in.

nah
I don't think the attacker can leave the field of play to get a diliberate advantage. If he leaves by the momentum of his run that is different. You can't step off the pitch to avoid offside for instance. So if he went off the pitch to gain an advantage he could be cautioned for leaving the pitch or ungentlemanly conduct. The defender would restart the game with an indirect freekick. If the ball is still in the penalty area and the attacker has gone off the pitch in the momentum of his run when tripped then I would say a penalty should be given. Is it because the ball is in the penalty area and still in play. You couldn't restart the game with anything but a direct freekick and inside the area that would be a penalty.

Is the defender still ON the field of play?

I believe the interest between attacker and ball is still in contention within the field of play, therefore a foul inside the area HAS occurred - pen and a red card.
Same as if two player leave the field of play and get into a ruck with the ball still on the field - the ref takes action and if one player is deemed responsible or has taken advantage over the ball by illegal actions - then the kick goes against him.
Refs can also issue cards to subs and managers not on the field, as everyone knows.

For me, if the foul took place outside the penalty area, how could it be a penalty? I guess it's just one of the downsides of running off the pitch when really you're not supposed to.
To whoever said it, the location of the ball at the time, whether with the attacker closing in on goal or it's up the other end of the pitch, assuming it is still in play, is irrelevant. If a foul on an attacker has occurred in the penalty area - it's a penalty.
Does the rulebook not clear it up?
