[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 780182, member: 20605"] You have emphasised the wrong part "[U][B]Foul play is anything a player does within the playing enclosure that is against the letter [SIZE=5]and[/SIZE] spirit of the Laws of the Game.[/B][/U] Its an "AND" situation, not an "OR" situation. For an infringement to be Foul play, it must meet BOTH criteria. Throwing a forward pass maybe against the letter of the Laws, but it is an unintentional infringement and not against the spirit of the Laws Knocking the ball forward maybe against the letter of the Laws, but it is an unintentional infringement and not against the spirit of the Laws BUT Knocking the ball forward [B]INTENTIONALLY[/B] is against both the letter of the Laws, [B]AND[/B] the spirit of the Laws, and is therefore Foul Play. Hope this clears things up - - - - - The Top 14 bonus point system is too stupid for words, and we should not be following it. The system we had wasn't broken and it didn't need fixing. [/QUOTE]
