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

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.
Did i read you can't put attackers in a wall as another rule change this year ?
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!!!!!
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.
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.
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
