Defenders shepherding the ball out for a goal kick, blocking opponents without being anywhere near it does my head in. Is obstruction not a thing anymore?
Remember Yossi (I think) getting studs in the back right down by the corner flag and the lino somehow seeing nothing wrong
there has been more contact allowed this season and the defender flopping to the ground no longer automatically gets a foul for example . I never claimed it was consistently applied as it is still a subjective decision so there will clearly be quite a lot given unless you are Forest .
Villa are sitting back now and trying to hold out for a 2-1 win, there is 45 minutes to go so expect Utd to win this one.
Toney has been banned from all football for 6 months for betting! That is him out of the world cup squad, the lucky sod! Yet to be officially announced by the FA, but as the place leaks like a sieve I suspect it is true.
