Agree. Been a bug bear of mine for a while, we almost never keep possession from a throw.

Seems none of our players are keen to receive it.

I was always told as a kid if knobody wants it either lob it as far as you can down the line or throw it straight to the oppo nearest then go and tackle him .

The coach was a bricky though in real life so mabye not an exact science but at least he had a plan

How many corners and wide free kicks did we get? What did we do with them? Again, our major problem. Our throw ins were crap, but better than usual I thought. At least we normally had the ball.

Red and Blue Army!

you see it with ever team lack of movement , more you move better the target for the guy taking it , thats all the coachs i had would say , plus your pulling them out of position with rapid movement , if you are static your easy to mark , Also most are foul throws next it will be under arm allowed hehe

Maybe we are trying to avoid them , I might be wrong (I normally am ) but I think there was a CL game between Man City and PSG last year with no throw ins at all .

Throw ins are a neglected part of the game in every respect and I am no longer amazed by the sheer number of foul throws that are allowed to go. The ball is frequently released from in front of the head and thrown down to feet, and there are the occasional raised feet off the ground and they are never penalised. I can remember a game several years ago when the opposition were pulled up for a foul throw and it was thus awarded to Palace, who immediately produced a foul throw of their own, only for the opposition to do it again. At fourth time of asking a legal throw was produced.

I wonder what happens if the build up to a goal starts with a foul throw. Will VAR pick it up? As it will be the same refs who apparently can’t spot it live, I presume not.

I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
