Interesting, thanks. Restarts are so important and I'm astonished often so many teams are inept. |  | |  |

Always remember Brevitts throws, down the line every single time and we hardly ever won it.
Don't see that throw much now. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

Allow me to ruin every QPR game for the rest of the season for you. We rarely, if ever, keep the ball for more than two touches after our own throw in. Once you see it you can't unsee it and it becomes fcking infuriating. |  | | |

Makes it all the more surprising that teams will so often allow the ball to run out for a throw rather than just play on. |  | | |

I think you might have mentioned this before, Clive.
I now greet it with a "Wey-Hey" as I would a man in a suit on a phone walking slowly into a closed glass door. |  |

yep - has been the case for many years.
But even Liverpool in the year they won the CL were retaining possession from throw-ins for 45% of the time (under pressure) according to that article. I suspect we have the same problem as almost every other club.
Still, worth looking at - marginal gains and all that. |  |

Can we refuse to take our own throw-ins? |  |

For me, it's that infernal centre circle-kickoff routine we've been doing for a decade or more, floating one high and slow over the right touchline, which achieves absolutely nothing other than losing the ball and letting the opposition full back have a potentially career ending cheap shot on our poor wide player. No wonder Bright wants away - they'll kill him with it one day.
Ps i took long throws for my old team. We had a competition and yours truly was ten metres clear, unsurprisingly ahem. I always thought it was an excellent opportunity to catch somebody making a late run, could be very accurate and get it over the player in between at a steep angle. Used to frequently chance from a dangerous position against dopey defenders. An under-utilised set oiece up until now i should say. [Post edited 24 Sep 2020 13:31]

Feel like we've been horrific at throw ins for about twenty years though.
I've managed to stop, but for a time I used to count how long we'd keep it after a throw in, and without fail we'd lose it within three touches. Every. Single. Time.
Throw, lose touch, try to recover, get tackled, or pass straight to opposition. |  | | |

I've always been amazed that so few of our players seem to know that you can't be offside from a throw-in. A throw-in anywhere near the oppo's goal is an invitation for a forward to nip in behind the defenders and receive it. But they never do.
As the bloke said, “You could say that I coach intelligence when it comes to throw-ins. And I’m not afraid to say that most professional players possess very little intelligence in this respect . . . " |  | | |

Throw-ins have always seemed a bit 50/50 for me generally in football. Except with Rs when it's more 30/70. |  |

We have been crap at them for as long as I can remember.
However one that I will never forget was Rodney Marsh taking a quick throw and aiming at the back of a retreating opposition player, picking up the rebound and off he goes with the ball at his feet. | | | |

Just being honest as always.
And to be fair, it wasn't so much that i had a monster throw, as this particular team was a team of musicians rather than footballers and they were...frankly just not the most athletic bunch. A very poor side it was. | | | |

That kick off routine - I don't get it? Over the last ten years we've had about 15 managers and 200 players, yet every single goddamn one of them has done that routine |  | | |

As a related aside - Roy Delap's son scored for Man City last night. Apparently when he was 11, he used to copy his dad's throw but was asked to stop as other parents believed it was "ruining the games" | | | |

Was it Rory Delap’s long throws that were such an attacking threat that opponents would prefer to put a ball out for a corner rather than a throw? They didn’t want to risk letting him launch one into the penalty area from near their goal line. |  | | |

Ha, i'll give it a go.
My point probably should have been not my monster throw, but that when we decided to have an actual competition, it became immediately apparent that out of, say, 15 young blokes who had joined a football team, there were literally only two of us that could throw the ball at all. Most people basically did a foul throw that went about ten yards. It was a shocking embarrassment. It shows that none of them had ever even thought about it before. I suppose that shows how little thought or effort goes into stuff like that in the English game. But then, i could never believe people, even professional footballers, didn't use both feet.
Twas a bloody pain traipsing from one side to the other all game just to take throws i can tell you. The ball was rarely in play with that team.
Ps My Dad has held the record for the longest throw of a cricket ball in his old cricket club for about 50 years now, he could launch that ball like a rocket. It's the genetics, fortunately for me. | | | |

Funniest throw in I can remember was at a reserve game. Dominic Iorfa picks the ball up to take the throw in and Ray Wilkins yells at him from the center of the pitch to hold it. Ray then proceeds to trot over to take the throw himself and Dom waits and waits until Ray gets just in front of him and throws it over Rays head straight to the opposition and then p*sses himself laughing while Ray gives him a jolly good talking too  |  | | |
