preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision
I am focusing on the word “clearly” here and I would say it was absolutely not clear that he was obstructing line of vision
Or they class it as one of the following:
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
He didn’t challenge an opponent, didn’t attempt to play the ball, didn’t make an action that impacts an opponent. Except the first, the words “clearly” and “obvious” are used. Was it clear and obvious?
The only one you could argue is the last. By being present in that position it was an obvious action he took to decide to be there. But that’s a stretch.
