Polo Rules: Shot blocked by a footdown

I think Mike is not talking about putting your body in the way; I think he is talking about the situation where someone blocks a shot, and in doing so, foot-downs. As the ball rebounds, another attacker is following up, and rather than get out of the way (as s/he should), the defender deliberately stays in the way, and passively (or not) blocks the ball with either mallet, bike or foot.

It happens a lot in throw-ins, but if it happened in tournament...
I'm aware of the situation as we've all seen it happen, I also realise that I was talking about the player being in the way (only in my last post(I was being facetious)) and excluding the possibility of it being the payers bikes/mallet etc. In the rest of thi discussion I've been referring to the player in general (Bike&All).

However, I still maintain that if the ball doesn't cross the line it isn't a goal.
