Long Throws 10:31 - Dec 30 with 774 viewsChris_ITFC

Who is most to blame in English football for the sudden obsession with long throws? Which man turned it from something niche to a tactic that every team has to attempt?

God, it is so boring to watch, as the right-back trots over to the far left corner of the pitch, has to go get a new, dry ball, surveys the scene, centre backs trot forward, maybe the ref gets involved too, the game of football reduced to some bloke lobbing it as far as he can with his hands (often not even that far)… and then feck all comes of it.

What if … and just hear me out..
Someone faked the long throw. Threw it short and then they crossed it in with their foot. Could be revolutionary.

Could call it ‘The long throw fake to cross’ or something else that Sky would love.

We did everything brilliantly last night but furlongs long throws were laughably bad. Bonk straight onto the head of the first defender

It is weird how everyone decided over the summer that they need to use the long throw at every available opportunity, especially when so few are any good at it. Doughty for Millwall for example couldn't get it within ten yards of our goal, they were hoping to luck their way into a goal.

It's worked a few times and is something lower-Prem teams can do to upset the big boys when they stand little chance of getting actual corners or free kicks.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Yes, he was my “(often not even that far)”… No problem with the tactic if it plays to a strength, but it’s almost become compulsory!

It's odd how there are certain trends like this that take off. For a while every kick off involved pumping the ball for an opposition throw in as close to the corner flag as possible. I got that it was a tricky area for them to get out of but it also gave away cheap possession and (most importantly) when did it ever lead to a decent outcome for the team that did it?

I think it is simply a tactic to keep the ball out of play for as long as possible and yet losing teams do it too. Idiots.

I'm sure most of them are foul throws as well, but they keep changing the rules, so I'm probably wrong lol
