The point John made (and the rules try to highlight) is that no player would intentionally break the rules therefore they 'wouldn't' stand there doing it. If that situation occurs then it is up to the captain/s and other players on the pitch to point out the 'mistake'. Remember the point of the game is to play with spirit not to try get an advantage from every situation which is not exactly covered in the rules... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AstraZeneca UK Limited is a company incorporated in England and Wales with registered number: 03674842 and a registered office at 15 Stanhope Gate, London W1K 1LN.
