Apologies if there's already a thread on this, but I've just been reading that FIFA may be implementing a time limit on throw-ins and goal kicks in the World Cup. If the ref thinks too much time is being taken, a 5-second countdown will start. Can result in giving the throw to the other team, or a corner.
Personally I'm in favour of speeding them up, even if we do like to use MVE for long throws. They've become a tedious tactic, and apparently nearly 11 minutes (!) is taken up by throw-ins in the average Prem game.
