Players “shepherding” the ball out of play. Below is the law on obstruction. From the final paragraph, it’s clear that an opponent cannot be held off using the arms or body. This frequently happens by players shepherding the ball out of play. Whenever an opponent makes an attempt to play a ball being shepherded out of play, which the law states they can, the referee invariably gives a foul. Is this ignorance of the law by referees or just laziness?

Surprised that no one has called out Jayne McCubbin yet. Loves a human interest story, preferably if someone has “bravely overcome a life challenge”.

BBC decide to make most of their podcasts, including the topical Friday Night Comedy, only available from their BBC Sounds app. If you get them elsewhere, you’ll have to wait 28 days. https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2022/01/27/50058/bbc-pulls-its-friday-night-comedy-podcasts-from-apple-and-google Can’t help but think this is a massive mistake.
