Predicted line up for them (considering no injuries in their game today):

Our team should be (6 players should be enough to beat that side):

In all seriousness, they’ve definitely got quality in their side but we should have enough to beat them. I’d go with the same team as yesterday (if Zinchenko is fit then he comes straight back into the side) but possibly go with Eddie and Jesus together in place of Saka as I’d give him a rest before OT on Sunday, lad looks fatigued.

Going for a 3-1 win and once Saliba goes full Diego, the celebration police will be out in full force 🚨🚨🚨

This situation, is covered in Law 12, Section 2. Indirect free kicks.

The text applicable is the following:

IMPEDING THE PROGRESS OF AN OPPONENT WITHOUT CONTACT

Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distance of either player.

All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent.

(As you can see from the above two paragraphs, the Villa player had the right to stand where he did, so long as he didn't move to impede Ramsdale getting to the ball. You can watch the replays as often as you like, he didn't move to impede Ramsdale. He simply held his ground. No foul.

The following paragraph of the Law is below.)


A player may shield the ball by taking a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent.

(If you wish to make the point, that by putting his arms around his back briefly, Ramsdale was fouled, you could as easily counter argue that Ramsdale reaching both his arms around the Villa players shoulders, was impeding the Villa player.

In neither case, was either player "held", ie neither had hold by the hand of a shirt or body part, eg the arm.

Ramsdale was simply caught behind the body of the attacker, and was unable to get past him)

What does my initial question have to do with Ramsdale?

If you cant see why your argument is trash after posting this line you need to get your head checked
