the prem rules seem more lenient

You can get away with encroaching but only if you don’t impact on the kick

So had an Arsenal encroacher got to it first and scored, we’d have been given a free kick?

A problem I guess would be if an attacker encroaches first but a defender follows, also encroaching and just beats the attacker to the ball. Is it a retake or free kick?

        Encroaching is not worth it but not sure I agree they can’t impact. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:10:03
        
        If they impact then it’s a retake (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:12:19
        
        Not if they haven’t encroached. They can still legally run in and beat the attacking (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:13:33
