Long Throw In's

[Swartzy]

A goalkeeper can get booked and penalised for an 8 sec delay, but on Sunday, Spurs were taking over 30 secs for some throw ins. Dont know who comes up with these ideas 'to improve and speed up the game' but they need to look at this.

They are talking about bringing in the same time rule as they do for keepers, so if you take longer than say 6 seconds the throw in will be handed to the other team..

Something needs to be sorted cos its just another drain on the game.

it's basically a corner if you have two big centre half's

get one to stand at the near post and get him to flick it backwards onto the far post where the other centre half is waiting to smash it in the goal

It was quite the novelty when Tommy Hutchison used to do it for Chelsea in the late 60s/early 70s.

I never saw it again until Rory Delap did it for Stoke thirty odd years later.

Doing my head in. Takes about a minute to launch the ball in the box.

Brentford average 50 seconds to take a throw in.

Shouldn’t be allowed that.

Turning more and more into NFL where it’s just a stream of set pieces with massive breaks of play inbetween

I think managers are simply doing it to protect the players who are playing way too much football.

Should that be 'throws-in'?

Similar to plural of gin and tonic is gins and tonic?

Died all too young at just 54 'after a long illness'.

I love this from Osgood:

"He was my best friend. He was the best man at my three weddings and I was best man at his two."

Wives may come and go but these two remained pals to the end.

Dont panic, Attack the ball - it's just another cross

Talk of the TV companies not being happy with the amount of time taken and goals scored from set pieces, they feel its taking away from the entertainment value
