Ipswich free kick

[donnievic]

Know sum would say Balcombe  was at fault it going in his side of the goal but Ipswich player was possible obscuring his view and shouldn’t have been stood there,surprised no one mentioned it yet and even more surprised none of the rovers players kicked a fuss up at the time.

Is there a rule which says that a player can’t stand in a position which obscures the keepers view of the ball.
Genuine question, not a dig at the OP.

[donnievic]

No to obscuring view but If 3 or more defenders in a wall attacker must be a yard away,I know it not alot and canis more to stop them learning into the wall but still

I think that BST mentioned it in another thread.
Ref's just don't seem to care what goes on and then pull players up for nothing challenges.

I would blame the Ref as I dont consider it was a foul in the first place

Worse challenge on Richards in area later not given - and yes the new Rule I think says he could not be there but the Ref was a muppet all match long
