Football (aka Soccer)

With the World Cup approaching, this could be very useful advice....
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen them also & is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes! BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong to be in front of the other shopper!

What happens if the first shopper, the non-friend, catches the purse? Are you allowed to spear tackle her? What if the first shopper has a friend at the back of the shop with a purse too? And her friend throws her purse to her? And we both catch them at the same time? And what on earth would you be doing in a queue at the till in a shoe shop if you didn't have your purse?

More importantly why would you be buying the same pair of shoes as a female evan?
