I did it in 5 aside the other week, ball was a foot in front of me when 2 of their players upended me, one from each side, no attempt to play the ball........ref gave them a free kick, shocking!
Right, that must have been what I was thinking of. Lot of whisky on Sunday...
That match and that ref was a f***ing disgrace
Stewart, Scotty and Reid all got send off IIRC

It definitely happened in our game against Man United on Sunday.
Sunderland player brought down, grabbed the ball, free kick given to United.

I agree, anybody doing this should get a yellow card straight away. They do it because they know they can get away with it and the decision will go their way.
Yeah. Although on the plus side we got to see a 20 year old Patrick Vieira's more or less debut and a preview of Steve Boiled's defensive header masterclass

Vergini, wasn't it? I remember it happening cos I commented on it, it annoys me.
That Vergini one was more than he fell onto the ball, but still grabbed it. The worst ones are where the player doesn't even fall near the ball yet still sticks out an arms to grab it. It's childish, but loads of daft things like that happen in football. We sit near the touchline, and I reckon every single game there's an incident where the ball clearly comes off a player, like no question it hit his leg last, yet he then picks it up to take the throw and has a little tantrum when the ref gives it the other way.
It's deliberate handball and should be a yellow

He was in mid flight (being pushed) if i remember rightly and it could be argued he was trying to gain an advantage.
Reid apoligised to me after the match for his language as I was youngish, gent.
Was a great following that day, cant remember many better for singing all the way through.
In the rules though isnt it? 5 yards of the ball or something?

It's up there with waving an imaginary card to get someone booked.
Yep. Obstruction in my book. Making no attempt to play the ball but preventing an opponent from playing it constitutes obstruction, does it not? Is there an exception to the rule where the ball is being allowed to go out of play?

Not sure mate.
I just feel it slows the game down and is another method of playing a pass back to the keeper.
It would be a good way to encourage our youngsters to play the ball.

Surely, if the ref decides that no foul had been, initially, committed then he would just give a free kick for handball against anyone doing that.
Who the fuck is Steve Boiled you Cockney fuckwit?
