What would happen if .....?

r&b - the siren has gone and officials just walk onto the ground - you see it all the time. That is a fact.

The difference is 99.99% of club officialdom would use their commonsense as would umpires. .

The officials only walk from the bench to the huddle in the middle of the ground, after the siren goes.

All officials worst nightmare is to make a mistake that costs the team. The coach is not usually happy in such a case.

Until I see this happen I will still think that common sense will win out.

No the pyramid is on the goal line and the player is 50m out.

Re the officials - what is the definitiion of "in the way". If they are allowed on the ground, which are they are, where are they not allowed to go? No rule I bet! They should not be allowed on the ground.

Nup you can not actively assist a player or block a player on the goaline...
