For some reason a couple of your players don't do this and your team scores from the restart. The opposition are naturally furious about this and their manager threatens to take his players from the field.
What should you do?
If you go on to win the game what should happen next?

Something like happened in the Premier League some years ago - one team had an injured player and sent the ball out of play. While everyone was running up to check on the injurie, one of the opposing players quickly took the throw-in, and three of them ran (almost unopposed) up and scored. That raised a huge debate about sportmanship and fairplay.
(IIRC it was Arsenal-players)
