Robbored Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 According to Steve Dunn in the Green 'Un this week the "obstruction" rule was removed from the rule book in the 97-98 season. Indirect free kick are given for dangerous play or when a 'keeper picks up a back-pass. A "body charge" that results in a foul is a direct free kick. You learn something everyday....

lukejones2 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 If I remember rightly this was fairly talked bout at the time with the word obstruction being replaced as the title of the offence. Cannot remember the new term though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
