I have been saying that for years...how is it not obstruction ffs.
Get fans on board to sort things out.
I believe obstruction was abolished as an indirect free kick, so now they just get away with it all over the pitch.
Not so.
Law 12 still states "An indirect free kick is awarded if a player impedes the progress of an opponent without any contact being made", which is how the obstruction rule has always been worded.
That has always been the case and it hasn't changed.
