It gets me when a sometimes a player gets booked for obstruction when the opponent pushes the ball round him and runs straight into him. . Where is he suppose to go down a hole in the ground.Yet a player without making any attempt to play it can sheilds a ball out of play by stopping the opposition player playing it .To me both are obstruction the first acidental the second deliberate

You are right but I'm not sure that obstruction is seen as an offence these days. It should get an indirect free kick

Pretty certain if players knew this law they’d make sure they stopped to ensure the opponent got a card

You see players making the officials minds up for them a lot of the time.

We did get a free kick for a handball last game when one of their players was “fouled” and pulled the ball in with his hand.
