The team that wins the throw in should have an advantage but is actually at a disadvantage in many cases as they have one less player to fight for the ball after the throw in. This constantly slows the game down.

This sub has had some of the worst takes over the last 24 hours. What the hell.
There’s no offside rule from throwins.
But they have an advantage of, you know, maintaining possession of the ball
We should have managers do the throw ins then
Ah, you beat me to it by 16 hours
At one team I played we were super cynical two seasons in a row with one coach. If we ever felt like it was a risk to pass the ball we would just hit it out for a throw in as close as possible to the opponents corner flag. Our press was intense and it often was easier to create chances from their throw in then by our own (shitty passing). Those two seasons we conceded 16 and 10 goals in a 22 matches league. Throw ins for sure be a disadvantage, if close to own goal.
What would you do to restart after the ball goes out of play? Throwins can be useful in the attacking half as you can’t be offside from one.
Obviously not a Rory Delap enjoyer.
I think there could be some advantages for throw ins, it’s an opportunity for a set play, but I don’t see that as much as I would like. I am in the US and when I coached I found this was the time to have set plays, which I see in corner kicks, but not so much on the 2 I mentioned. Too often I see throw in and goal kicks go to the opposing team.
I think the team managers should throw it in. That would be entertaining and address one of your concerns.
Bruh. There are 10 players in the outfield, one extra can always come to receive the throw in or defend the ball from opposite team.
By that logic what’s the point of free kicks if you have one less player to attack the ball? 😂
The point is to have the vision and execution to get it to a team mate in space who will progress the ball.
🤣
Haven’t played much, have you? Throw in is a set piece
CoRnErs ArE UnFaIr…
The point is to get the ball back into play I think.
When it’s kicked into the stands, the fans should be able to throw it back in. With the lucky fan trying to get it back to his own team. Rival fans may try to wrestle the ball away first and throw it to their player instead. If the ball doesn’t return to the pitch in 10 seconds, all of the seats in the stadium become electrified until it does.
If you don’t work for FIFA already, you should.
Tony Pulis and Rory Delap downvote this.
This post is hilarious.
OP is a Liverpool fan. Liverpool were the first team in the Premier League to hire a throw-in coach (Thomas Gronnemark) and he worked at Anfield for 5 seasons until being let go over the summer.
But now throw ins are pointless?
