    Players “shepherding” the ball out of play. 
    Below is the law on obstruction.

    Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distance of either player.

    All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent.

    A player may shield the ball by taking a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent.

    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”. Never fails to patronise her interviewees, drill down into their suffering and act surprised that, despite said suffering, they manage more than spending their day in bed.

    So people can still use the original website? I got automatically redirected to the ny Times one a while ago, and it kept my stats.  I think for the purposes of this thread we need to stick to that one, if the words are going to be potentially different like today.

    That might explain why I spent a while looking at the post below yesterday, trying to work out what word had been entered for the fourth guess (Y*NIC -> CYNIC).

    Well found by a desperate trial and error mix of the first two letters at the end 😂😂😂😂
