Another goal from the long throw yesterday, Sunderland and Brentford both scored from one yesterday. Becoming much more prevalent in football. It’s not something that ever gets mentioned when talking about MVE but it’s probably adds another £1m to his value?

Plenty on here were happy for MVE to go for as little as £5m in the Summer and were pissed off we hadn't sold him to strengthen the team elsewhere come the end of the transfer window. I would be surprised if we were able to sell him now if he would go for less than £12m.

We are going to miss that delivery against Wrexham, that booking MvE picked up was so frustrating.

Hate them as a tactic but I’m not complaining with the results…

Particularly as I think they have someone who can also do it !

Id bring in a timer for throws like we’ve got now for keepers, it would completely remove the long throw from the game but thats a price worth paying imo.

As others have said it's better to miss the Wrexham game than the Sheffield United game.

Being on four yellows, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Let's bring in a new rule, throw ins must be no longer than 5 meters and must be thrown to feet only.

Similarly all kicks from goalkeepers must reach a height of 5m and travel to at least the halfway line.

I hate moving the hoardings as a tactic as well. But it’s effective as a counter-measure.

Ill never understand why long throws are hated so much as a tactic?

Its as good as a cross. Gets it directly in to the mixer. Should we stop putting corners in to the box aswell and take every corner short and try and pass it in to the box? Or are corners ok to put in the box? Its just throw ins that arent? A long throw is no different to any corners or a cross, just from a slightly different angle. I dont get all the hatred for them.

I agree.

But I would only introduce the rule when we no longer have anyone capable of taking long throws.

I don’t think there’s anything rational about it, it’s just like people who don’t like teams who keep a lot of possession at the back.

I find waiting for the throw-in taker to trot over to the touchline (and then towel off the ball, and then organise the players, and then take a big run up etc) to be quite annoying I guess.

It was so needless. I was expecting him to come off at half time to protect him from another booking.

It’s as good as a corner particularly as Milan can get the delivery flat into the penalty spot - other pretenders have a big loop without the distance

I wonder if it was intentional. Rather have him miss the Wrexham game than the ones coming up after?

But the time taken is down to the ref organising and policing players tugging or barging, not for me to argue for or against but I'm not a purist.

They are better than corners. It's remarkable it never fully continued after Rory Delap.

No different to the right winger trotting over to the left to take a corner, and waiting for all the CHs to trot forward, and stand in a line like the conga, then the corner taker putting his left arm, or his right arm, or both arms, or sometimes the ball, aloft in the air, to signify the ball will go nowhere he plans it to, only to meet the head of the first defender!
Or free kicks taken from the byline, 35-40 yards out that are floated in to the back post, that usually go out for a goal kick or in to the keepers hands. Let's stop them too! Only short passes from free kicks. No direct free kicks either as a rule. That way it saves a keeper having to fuck around with the positioning of the wall? No shots equals no walls!

Might have imagined it but didn't KKH do one after he came on yesterday?

Yeah, wasnt quite as long as MVE but he certainly put it in the box. I think Brau has it in his locker aswell.

Moaning about MVE's long throws is on my Chrissy Wilder excuses bingo card, along with The Enemy pre-match gig ('imagine if we got T'Beautiful South ont pitch before every game?'), batches rather than sandwiches, something about Basette, and City not having the pressure of parachute payments to deal with.

It gives us a chance to get a good luck at KKH
