Moving the ball

If the ball stops in a position in which touching it with the men is impossible, it can be moved. It goes to defence when not in midfield, and to a put-in otherwise. The ball should be knocked at random or replaced in the corner. In non-tournament play, players sometimes blow the ball back to their own side, but this is widely considered to be vile and wrong. Placing it deliberately with a view to score is just low, and is punishable by a penalty.
