When a player says something similar to the above, what law is this breaking?
Do you give it?
Where do you stand on the shout 'Jacks'?

I'm sure we have, but searching for "mine" throws up a lot of thread comments, as opposed to what I'm looking for.
Sorry for asking!
The lad who picked up a lemon for calling me a ‘mong’ got it as a result of exactly this discussion.
He felt that his opponent couldn’t shout ‘mine’.....I, being reasonably competent in the LOTG, felt otherwise.......ultimately he carried on being ignorant, I left him £10 poorer.
Its amazing what they get worked up about isn't it? A penalty or a disallowed goal, you expect some 'reaction' but when they go off on one for something like this, you are left shaking your head at times. As we all know, the good old 'foul throw' is another one guaranteed to get the players/managers going!
There are some crowds here who its hilarious to watch then lose it over player taking a few yards at a throw, its like a chain reaction, Mexican wave style, they rise up, screaming and pointing and doing rain dances as the player nudges up the park. I normally let them do it, just cos am loving the reaction of the crowd and I want to see how far I can push them !!!
Of course when the ball goes out for THEIR teams throw, the same rules dont apply according to the crowd !!
A player who shouts, 'Mine' or 'I got it,' or 'Jack's' is not breaking any law unless they're distracting an opponent. If (and only if) what they say verbally distracts an opponent, they have broken the section of Law 12 that says:When a player says something similar to the above, what law is this breaking?

a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour including if a player: [...] verbally distracts an opponent during play or at a restart

You only give the caution for verbal distraction if that's what happened, no matter what the actual form of words used.
