"Aren't there already obstruction laws to cater for this?"

In the Cloud-Cuckoo Land league yes, but no where else on the planet are they enforced.

Personally I think Goalkeepers get too much protection as it is.
I’m not in favour of barging ‘keepers, As Max remembers, but having a ‘no-go’ zone around keepers at corners isn’t workable.
The Referee has enough to look out for at set-pieces in my opinion.

Now nearly every team do this at corners, so this is not a dig at Orient or Angol.

This season, a new law prevents an attacking player from standing within a set distance of a defensive wall at a free kick.

I can see a similar law being introduced in the future at Corners to stop this deliberate obstructing of goalkeepers
Get over it. Calling for law changes because you don’t like something is laughable.


Erm, I haven't called for a new law at all.

I have suggested one may be introduced.

Dont let facts get in the way of your trolling
Calling out your garbage is not ‘trolling’. Maybe it is on the numerous other footballing message boards you inhabit thiugh.
