Give your head a shake of course they were foul throws. Why would they just single out Aurier all of a sudden? Makes no sense. You hardly ever see foul throws called in premiership football. Bloody embarrassing.
I understand people wanting to be loyal because he's a Spurs player, but come on. He's a walking red card/penalty with those rash slide tackles and nothing in his history at PSG, or what we saw last season suggests Poch can tame him.
It was a huge gamble to replace Walker that hasn't paid off unfortunately.
Well not really. A foul throw is also a foul throw when not taken from the correct place.
I’ve seen many a player do that. Many lift the trailing leg from the ground before releasing the ball. Throwing it with one arm placed like a basket ball. Not going behind the head when doing short range throws. Edit I also have memories of players removing the corner flag to take a corner. I could be mistaken.
It’s become a law that ignored.
As an example, can you tell me why Auriers third was a foul throw?
It’s like the corners. The ball used to have been placed inside the quadrant area . The rules say inside the arc, not outside as ball touching the line. In some cases the ball isn’t touching the line at all, but the linesman says nothing.
It’s not a goal line where if it’s touching it’s not over the line.
You don’t put the ball on the spot for a penalty so that it’s forward/to the side of but slightly touching the edge of the spot.
It’s: On the spot.
Your feet have to behind the touchline for a throw in, not over it with the heels touching.
It’s: Behind the line
When the corner law suddenly changed I don’t know. Growing up I never saw it being done this way. Unless I didn’t notice.
Don’t see it in the other two.
Just had a pedantic offical.
They do get it wrong.
I mean what professional officials wouldn’t know you cannot be offside in your own half.
Two of them when they disallowed Vertonghen goal.
The linesman for flagging it, and the ref for going along with it.
