Are you serious?! We've just broken our wage structure signing a goalkeeper with the longest throw in south-east England.

????????????????? WTF
You can’t score direct from a throw in anyway
It was a trick question.
From Wikipedia:
The laws of the game have never permitted a goal to be scored directly from a throw-in by the attacking team. In 1882, a change in the laws, introduced by N. Lane Jackson of Finchley FC and Morton Betts of Old Harrovians FC, made it possible to score an own goal directly from a throw-in. This possibility was removed in 1898.
From Wikisource:
Laws of the Game (1863) – A goal shall be won when the ball passes between the goal posts or over the space between the goal posts (at whatever height), not being thrown, knocked on, or carried.
Laws of the Game (1882) – A goal shall be won when the ball has passed between the goal-posts under the tape or bar, not being thrown, knocked on nor carried by anyone of the attacking side.
Laws of the Game (1898) – A goal shall not be scored from a throw in.
Backtracking faster than an Italian tank
Did i read you can't put attackers in a wall as another rule change this year ?
Ya, something on the lines of, can’t put your players in the wall, unless there are a certain number of the opposing team in there !!!!
All teams will need an accountant and a lawyer on the bench
I’m glad they’ve amended this, it was happening way too often. Week in, week out the ball being launched 100 & odd yards over everyone’s head and nestling in the back of the opposition net. Great to see the powers that be have their fingers on the pulse!!!!!
Could this be the thing that persuades Vincent Tan to walk away from football?
If they are bringing in rule changes I’d be happy to help. I’ve got loads of good ideas for little tweaks that would improve the game.
This can't be right.
What if the goalie goes forward near the end and throws a long throw into the box that goes in. That won't count either if this stupid rule change is right.
Didn’t think you could score direct from a throw in anyway, hasn’t it got to touch another player? Or has this law altered? It used to be corner kick if you threw it direct into your own goal & a goal kick if you threw it direct into your opposition goal. May have changed recently, can’t keep up with the law meddling.
You're correct, alwaysaway is wrong.
Btw, has anyone ever seen a goalie go up and take a throw in?
Why have they changed this? If a goalkeeper can throw the ball the entire length of the pitch and into the goal then that’s something I want to see
Exactly.. and I'd want to be his agent too!
Where is Gary Sprake when you need him?
I remember a few people on here last year grumbling about the new kick off rule where the ball can go any direction instead of just forward. Why do they have to fiddle etc etc
In reality it made no negative difference to anyone's enjoyment. This will be the same. I assume it's happened on some windswept or slanted pitch and it's just tidying up the rules for the one in a million match. It does no harm at all.
But also, these people have to be seen to be doing something. That's why the offside law keeps getting tweaked.
Wasn’t it Brian Clough, who said “if you’re not interfering with play, what are you doing on the pitch”
Isn't this what keeps this messageboard going though? Miserable gits moaning about stuff that they don't understand and that has zero negative effect on anyone?
What if the keeper takes a throw in ffs
How many times recently has there been a shitstorm about VAR when it turns out it was the VAR that was right all along but the actual rules that were bollocks
Yes but the rules weren't meant to be interpreted by VAR. God, I hate VAR so much. Also, some of the farcical "decisions" referees have made using VAR in the 2 world cups have been laughable.
I was always against VAR because I could see what was going to happen with interpretations etc. I'm just surprised it happened so soon. I thought it would be more gradual.
Goal line technology was all that was needed. It amazed me so many people were in favour.
