What’s happened to it? When was the last time a referee gave a free-kick for obstruction? Probably not since London Transport made Blakey redundant, ushering in the “modern era”.
Why do referees allow players to stand between the ball and an opponent with their arms spread wide, making no attempt to get the ball, determined to obstruct the opponent from getting it? They even give free-kicks against the opponent if he tries the move the player out of the way.
Has the rule been changed or erased?
Maybe no one cares but don’t you find it frustrating?
