(1) Obstruction - I have played in a lot of games where a player, on the floor for some reason, uses his legs to trap the ball between them to try keep the ball. Every opposition player shouts “obstruction”, IDFK is given. But where in the laws does it say anything about this? Is it actually a thing. Is it just another one of those myths?
(2) Keeper throwing ball - I feel this one should be easier to find. Surely a keeper can’t just throw the ball into the opposition net (as unlikely as that is physically.) Surely there’s something in the LOTG that says this isn’t a goal. More importantly, what if the keeper throws it into his own net (e.g. loss of control, bad wind I guess.) Whilst these are unlikely situations, surely they are covered in LOTG. Unlike “obstruction” I’m certain of that. I’m just wondering where.
Cheers for the help guys!
