Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted February 4 That’s a far more ‘balanced’ set of highlights than the poor Sky effort - which as ever showed just about all their shots and hardly any of ours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent a clip of that to our u9s WhatsApp group to show what can happen if you don't take a defensive throw by going down the line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember being a young lad of 16 playing in a pretty good men’s team, took a throw in half way in my own half a played it back towards my goal to our right back who probably wasn’t best placed and instantly got an earful of pretty blue language from the captain, after that it was thrown forward and well away from danger every time for the next 25 years.

RobJames 881 Posted February 5 i don't blame Stacey, as a number of other City players contrived to let O'Hare poke the ball into the net. The fault lies with this idiot idea of fu cking around at the back. Nevermind getting the ball as far away from our goal as possible, pss about before eventually doing what should have been done in the first place, hit upfield. The other thought being that the opposition will not watch how we play and set out to counter that nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overthebordercanary 142 Posted February 5 The problem when we have throw in's is there is no movement so whoever does it won't throw it forward, so it will go either sideways or backwards. And also what gets me is in the rules you can't be offside from a throw in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted February 5 I still maintain that, although asking for trouble, the throw-in from Stacey isn't that bad. McLeans decision to try and get just anything on it & put it back into traffic, and the 2 CBs not giving him the call to let it come across his body, equally culpable. We then have Duffy getting sent for Cromer crab before the goal (and exactly the same minutes later, Angus bailing us out big-time). So yes, silly decision by Stacey, but very much a collective failing. Celebration was worse though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 527 Posted February 5 There has been talk of changing some of the throw-ins to some kind of kick. In the modern game having a throw-in in your own half is often a disadvantage, because of the quality of marking and pressing these days, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
