"It is reported that WBS Tony Pulis is interested in bringing Rory Delap to The Hawthorns in the January Window. The WBA Coach has indicated that the long-throw expert will give a new dimension to Albion's attacking policy which, Pulis said, would shut the moaners up".
Only kidding!
I was thinking about throw-ins, and the strict technique that the Laws insist on. It's good, imo, because a one-armed effort with one foot off the floor would be too much of a bonus to the throwing side. You could picture that most sides would employ a Harlem Globetrotter to hurl the ball from their own half onto a giant's head for an easy route to goal - so deadly that you'd be afraid to give away a throw-in!
However, I do think the necessary technique is a bit too strict, and wouldn't mind too much if the ref allowed a bit of discretion. (I think 1 or 2 have recently, but so long as it's thrown with 2 hands the Law's a bit too pernickety really).
(I'm just watching the Rugby and their Rules are quite lax).
