The avuncular one
I know this was discussed on here a while ago, but I had a debate with one of my assistants on the weekend about throw ins.
I had a gent who had both feet planted correctly on/behind the line, facing field of play, taking it from the point the ball had left the pitch, both hands on the ball, delivering if from behind and over his head. However, he was releasing it just in front of his head.
I tired to explain that the LOTG stipulate how the ball is delivered, not when it is released. He was adamant that the ball had to be released above the head. (this was in the dressing room away from prying ears I might add). Thoughts?
