Throw ins and the touchline 20:43 - Aug 21 with 1342 views

Went to a non league game yesterday. Made a fool of myself complaining to the lino about a player taking throw ins with his feet mostly over the line.

Apparently the rule is that its fine, so long as some part of each foot is touching the line; i.e. its okay if your foot is well over the line so long as your heels are touching it.

Has this changed recently? I have never seen players do that before.

As a "lino" myself I can confirm your lino is correct.

I agree. But have you ever seen a league player stand with his heels on the line?

It’s a law not a rule. And the same law applies to the ball - all of which has to be over the line to be out or a goal. The lines are part of the pitch.

It's a rule, regardless of the term used in the written document. Have a look at the dictionary.
