A PROOF OF ESTEEM

Foreign Regard For British Football

By ARCHIE QUICK

The Football Association's latest Bulletin gives enlightening proof of the esteem British football is held in all corners of the world..

Our amateurs may have been ignominiously heaten in the Olympic Games by Yugoslavia but our professional might commands respect in every country, where the game is played.

The Laws Of Association Football

12.—OBSTRUCTION

I was asked the other day to state the penalty for obstruction. The answer is that the only penalty for obstruction is a good healthy shoulder charge, although even that assertion must carry the proviso that the player who delivers the charge is trying to play the ball.

Obstruction, of itself, is no punishable offence: when it takes the form of any of the offences referred to in Law 12 it is another matter. A player who obstructs by pushing, violent charging, charging when he is not attemp- ting to play the ball or in other ways, quite clearly specified in Law 12, should be penalised according to the

Inw.

There is nothing new in the altered forin of the law which says that

have a п сору of the 1030-40 Referees Chart which refers to a decision promulgated In 1907. 1 reads "If a player.... is obviously aware that he is about to be tackled by an opponent, he is intentionally obstructing and may be charged

from behind."

There are people, however, who try to suggest that this is new: it is at least 40 years old.

"The other form of obstruction which gets the obstructor into trouble is when the goal-keeper

hinders an opponent. Within his! six-yards goal area the gonl-keeper is entitled to be left alone in order that he may deal with shots direct- ed at goal.

It is because of this that the

keeper is protected by the Jow which says he shall not be charged within his goal aren,, unless he is holding the ball or obstructing an opponent. If he is holding the ball there is no question of dealing with shot: If he obstructs an opponent he is obviously not giving his full attention to playing the ball. ·

The relation between this last point and the re-drafted order, con- cerning charging is an interesting example of consistent policy in framing laws.

LAST WEEK'S POSER The answer to last week's soccer poser is that a pehalty kick should be awarded against the defender who tripped the player who was in an off-side position.
