Wullie Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Is there a requirement as to how far your advertising hoardings have to be from the edge of the pitch? Would be sneaky if we could move them in a bit so Delap can't get a run up on his throws. Not a bad idea that. Looking at Stamford Bridge on MOTD2, they're really close.

The hoardings were practically the touchline at that place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Just had the idea, 'cos I remember Tranmere used to have gaps in theirs for Dave Challinor so he would get a longer run up. If you're allowed to do that to accomodate someone who can chuck the ball a long way, surely you can adjust them to prevent it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 delaps throw ins.........i'm sure back in the 70's (stop fucking yawning) there was a long throw in specialist and there was bothere as someone stood in front of him and jumped when he went to take it,made the throw drop a few yards short which made all the difference. the ref tried to make the defender move back. the defender argued back and explained later to the press that he explained to the ref that the thrower innerrer has to stay off the pitch till he releases the ball so it can't be obstruction and there is no distance you have to be away from someone taking a throw in,unlike free kicks. did this actually happen or am i dreaming it all up ?

Wullie Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think putting a man right on the touchline is pretty sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think putting a man right on the touchline is pretty sensible. Yep, and if our player gets clobbered by Delap as the momentum takes him on the pitch, surely it's us who should get the free-kick for a foul.

Neil Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 If you're Coventry, you could knock the hoardings down to ensure a run-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I say we take the all of the above approach. Move the hoardings inward, try to give away corners instead of throws, have Oba jumping up and down in front of him as high as he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'd like us to go with the following: Given Beye - Taylor - Bassong - Enrique Jonas - Coloccini - Guthrie - N'Zogbia Owen - Martins Wouldn't be keen on splitting Bassong and Coloccini up but I really want to see Colo in midfield and I think this would be the ideal game to go for it as Taylor would be useful to have in the box for Delap's throw-ins. Colo played a couple of very threatening balls through to Oba on Saturday and he just looks so good with the ball at his feet. Pretty sure he wouldn't be like Butt and pass it to anybody but his team-mates too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gray Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Had to laugh at Lee Dixon's tactical method of dealing with it - "Don't give away throw ins in your own half". Along with "Dont let them score" and "Score at the other end", he could be a tactical genius that man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with "Dont let them score" and "Score at the other end", he could be a tactical genius that man. Was funny as f*ck watching the Hull keeper. Was being closed down by the striker, looked to hoof the ball out for a throw-in, thought twice about it, and instead turned around and booted it out for a corner.

Guest palnese Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 start the game with someone like cacapa. His only task is to force delap to go of with an injury early on. then sub cacapa with someone actually good enough to play.. game won Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 They'd probably be bottom of the league without Delaps' throw-ins. Didn't he get hurt on Saturday? Broke both his arms hopefully. Wishful thinking that he'll be out injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just move the advert boards closer so he can't get a run up. simple yet effective but I am sure there will be somer rule about how far back they have to be, I find it strange team cannot deal with a long throw we had that ability when he had that massive yank yet I am syre we never really made anything from his long throws..
