You do not have to enter the field of play to complete a throw-in. That’s the idosyncracy here. The Laws state who takes the other restarts, but not this one.
So according to the Laws you could get away with a 12th person taking the throw-in and all other players being on the pitch.
In fact if you do enter the feild of play it's a foul throw and a turn over of possession. But could one of the subs take it rather than a "customer"?
According to the Laws, who actually takes a throw-in? For every other restart the Laws prescribe who can take it. But for the Throw-In Law it doesn’t.
Now we all “know” a player from the opposing team takes the throw-in, the Laws say it goes to that team. But, according to the Laws am I right to interpret it that anyone can actually take the throw-in? A passer-by, the ball-boy, the manager…… the Laws don’t day otherwise.
