Thoughts on this? I had one similar in my game where the player with the ball was gripping onto the player’s shirt (who was trying to get the ball). I gave the free kick and signalled shirt pulling to the bemusement of the crowd. The player knew exactly what he did and the captain agreed with me.
It’s weird though as it’s generally not accepted to give a free kick against the player with the ball, but surely pulling the shirt of an opponent to stop him from tackling is an offence.
Also, before anyone starts, this isn’t a post complaining about a decision against Leeds, it’s just the first time I’ve seen a good example of it.
