Long Throws

[p6steve]

The difference with Delaps throw in's are there so flat and quick , much harder to defend than the old high looper.

I saw the one that produced the goal. it went like a bullet into the top corner of the net quicker than most people could kick it. I know it took a slight deflection, but amazing nevertherless

How long before they start genetically engineering long throwers?

When John Challinor was here, he had an excellent long throw

Whatever happened to the Dave Challinor fella who played for Tranmere. As I recall, he held the record for longest throw and could launch balls into the box from his own half.

I'll answer my own question. He plays for Bury. God I'm interesting.

But sadly incorrect!

He was released by Bury this summer. Last heard that he was snapped up by the mighty Cammell Laird FC.

Watching Stoke now and Delaps got a bit of extra length

It was a bit strange on Saturday why Gill didnt take more of the throw ins. He seemed quite happy for Moxers, Tully or whoever to take it; when he (Gill), could have easily trotted over and launched one into the penalty area.

I’m not sure I’m too keen on the long throw ins. John Arne Riise took all of Liverpool’s throw ins when in the opposition’s half, he threw longer than my kicking, but in never resulted in a goal. Quite easy to defend against these kind of throw ins, it looks like.

Better giving the ball to the nearest unmarked City player, who shoots and scores.

Given the fact that Gill is just recovering from a shoulder injury I'm not too surprised that he doesn't want to overdo it. Probably a tactic best used sparingly anyway.
