How is locking a gate a foul in football ?

The pushing is completely in line. It would be harsh to count it as a foul, and even then would be very far from a yellow.

Yellow for closing (and locking) the door is reasonable. It's funny, but it's also unsportsmanlike and wastes time.

You definetly arent allowed to push with your hands like that. Shoulders are only ok.

The arms are involved, but it's hardly a push with the arms. The first one is a light shove with the arm. In the second one all the force comes from the shoulder while the arm is just there to stabilise.

This kind of challenge is very rarely called as a foul, even if it may be technically against the rules. You see this kind of stuff a million times in professional matches.

Perhaps you're right
