Foul throws

So i hear in the lead up to our goal we did one.

In my opinion the Sheff Utd one before their 3rd against us at GP was one.

I dont see why so many get away with it in the pro game.

And on a side note is it a legit throw to take a throw in with both feet planted, facing the pitch and releasing the ball behind your head.................. But in a crouching position? Always wondered.
 

Foul throws

You have to throw it from behind your head and release it before your hands go past your head. The new rule is that you only have to be touching the line so it will look like you have stepped onto the pitch if your heel is still slightly touching the white.

I used to spend ages telling my players off and then showing them how to do throws and it use to drive me nuts when they try to throw it further than they can by lifting one foot in the air. You can hear the parents saying why don't they terch them how to throw. I used to tell them I did until I was blue in the face, can they have a go at telling them before next weeks game please and see if that works?

One of our lads once lobbed a chicken onto the field.

Wahay! It's a good job Lewis got to Emiliano's cross quicker than you lot got to mine! Well done Vid, better late than never. No danger of you being offside. lol
 

Foul throws

From my observations, about half of the throws taken at GP are foul throws, with the ball being launched when the hands are past the head. Why? Because it’s a more natural way to throw with two hands.

Hardly any of the foul throws are penalised.

Who cares? I do, for one. If you start ignoring a rule, what the heck’s the point in having it? People largely don’t care about throw-ins because they rarely lead to anything, but when they do, as happened recently when a foul throw led to a goal, people are more exercised about it.

Maybe it’s time to change the rule?

I remember going to watch Wembley FC about 20 years ago, and they trialed all throw ins could be kicked. That was interesting.

Yes mate. Been a few times, my grandad used to play for them around the era of Ken Coote. So went 6/7 times a season for a few years when the Bees wern't playing.

I wouldn't be against this, as long as it was a standing kick (no run ups). Would probably fit fairly well and limit the distance of the kick somewhat.

Imagine the time wasting it would lead to !
 

Foul throws

Foul throws is one of those rules that is occasionally penalised, usually depending on the referee... Other examples include encroaching for penalties, rolling ball, kicking the ball away, and how far from the initial spot a throw in/free kick was taken. Depends on the mood of the ref/how pedantic they are.

It was trialled for a full season in the Isthmian/Diadora League in the mid-90s. I think the main reason it was deemed a failure was because games just became an endless series of balls being lumped into the penalty area, with defenders coming forward every time as they do for corners and penalties.

As for the current debate, I can't get too worked up about minor infringements that don't confer any real advantage. Obviously the thrower shouldn't be fully on the pitch, and throws should be taken from the right place, but the only other thing which really needs to be dealt with is the 'one handed' throw, where the other hand is just touching the ball to act as a guide, enabling throws to go much further.

Exactly, I'd be more concerned with how Konsa ended up on his backside in the lead up the their goal.

Pundits seemed more bothered about the throw in. More short memories!

I think if you guys look at a lot of Dalsgaard longer throws they look a bit suspect more from one hand than the other

There's no mention in the Laws of the Game that it has to be released at a certain point, just that it has to be thrown with both hands:

At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must:

stand facing the field of play
have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline
throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head from the point where it left the field of play

Is this why a lot of throw ins look like foul throws lately, because there's no specific mention as to the point of release?

I think it's a conscious decision not to waste time and cause contention by focusing unnecessary effort and attention on something so trivial, and which doesn't really affect the outcome of the on-field action. I realise in saying this, that it can easily be argued that the long throw into the area can be impactful on the outcome of a match.
 

Foul throws

That's the point. We scored not because it was a foul throw but because it was taken quickly and the ball moved equally quickly from one side to the other. Our wide attackers need to get better at throwing but, more importantly, better at making the decision to take the throw themselves, probably to the full back, so that the opposition do not have time to adjust their defensive shape.
