I mean...instantly, the first point has annoyed me! "If referees are too squeamish to stop an attack in full-flow..." No. That's not what's going on at all. Is the rest of the article going to be this badly mis-informed?
When the idea of how to change the law is based around not knowing the existing law in the first place.....yeah!How to upset referees!!... have new ideas about changing dem Laws!!!
Yup. This. It would be an easy one to implement. Easy to clarify using existing rules and benefit attackers. No brainer for me. It would also cut down on the number of fouls by attackers as they try to play through defenders that are obstructing. It would also cut down on the dangerous fouls that happen when the attacker e.g. pushes the defender as they leave the pitch - this is a classic that is never whistled in the penalty area, too.There's only one item there that is a genuine change and that I somewhat agree with - the one about the defender holding off the forward as ball trickles out, while making absolutely no attempt to play the ball
