Part 7 of Law 15:
"The player taking the throw-in must have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline."
Are Ben Tozer's throw-ins legal? From what I could see on iFollow, he normally has at least part of a foot on the field of play when releasing the ball. With his wind-up sprint, it is difficult to see how he could simultaneously have "a part of both feet on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline." However, it would be very difficult for a referee or linesman to make that determination.
(This comment is not offered as an excuse for our problems defending against long throw-ins, which we must overcome.)
As I recall, Jonas Knudsen was a long throw-in specialist but the deployment of that skill was generally not very effective. Was this because he used a higher arc to gain range, because well-organized Championship level defenders know how to deal with long throws, or both of these factors?

Part of both feet has to be ON (or outside) the touchline.
(that’s not to say his throws were legal, I haven’t seen them) . |  | | |

Doesn't excuse our failure to deal with it but at that throw from their left the ball was first handled and carried forward by a different player then thrown back to Tozer who had stolen some yards along by fiddling with the towel. Then he stepped several paces along the line before hurling it in. Genuinely think that if he'd taken that throw fom where it went off the threat wouldn't have reached the six yard box. If it were a corner the chalk would show up an attempt to gain millimetres. Refs need to check out the throwing position when it's such a weapon. |  |

After watching the highlights it confirmed what I thought at the time on iFollow, he lifts his trailing foot off the floor and it's a foul throw, (every time).
I don't think he would get the distance or trajectory keeping both feet in contact with the floor regardless of the extra few cm's from being over the line. |  | | |

Every time I've properly taken notice of him it has been whilst playing at home with his magic red towels dotted about the place. Does anybody know how effective he is away from home? |  |

I was watching out for this very infringement and they looked alright to me. |  | | |

Fouls throws are a bad joke in grassroots and especially kids football. Seriously, this game called football throwing the ball in from touch like rugby after it's gone out - bring on the further testing of the suggested new kick in. |  | | |

Absolutely this. I said so to my mate at the time.
The whole towel thing was a device both to steal yards, and to steal time once they'd gone ahead.
You're spot on. If he hadn't stolen those yards, I very much doubt that the second goal would have come about | | | |

The arc maybe true with Knudsen but we never seemed to have any planned routines for the throws, a massive opportunity wasted surely? |  |

Can’t remember us ever scoring from one of his long throws. Can hardly remember him finding a blue head with one. | | | |

On the subject of rule breaches...
Frazer's penalty against Burton should have been retaken. There was a Burton player a couple of metres inside the penalty area at the moment Frazer struck the ball. |  |

When was the last time any of us saw a ref give a foul throw, like crooked put in at scrums in rugby we all know it happens but refs just don’t care enough to do anything about it.
We looked more likely to concede on the breakaway than ever score from one of Knudsens long throws. | | | |

I wonder if there is a way of negating this by the away team asking for the towels to be removed in the same way that teams were able to ask for the multi ball system not to be used? |  |
