Towel
Every time they took a long throw - a towel was provided for them to wipe the ball - is this allowed now?

Re: Towel
Been that way for years I think - certainly Delap and others always used them.

Re: Towel
I wonder how much time drying the ball with the towel wastes? It appears time wasn't a problem when the towel was being used.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:06 pmEvery time they took a long throw - a towel was provided for them to wipe the ball - is this allowed now?

Re: Towel
As long as the towels are made of cotton its perfectly fine but both linen and terrycloth towels are illegal to use in most sports including football

Re: Towel
It doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things today, but I don’t think it should be allowed

Re: Towel
There's a video on twitter of a Rotherham fan taking his jumper off and giving it to one of their players to dry the ball with.

Re: Towel
It’s always happened. The weirdest bit was him spitting on his hand after drying it before he threw.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:06 pmEvery time they took a long throw - a towel was provided for them to wipe the ball - is this allowed now?

Re: Towel
I thought he spat on the ball. I wondered about the health issues of doing that. Low risk I agree but nevertheless an added and unnecessary one.Milltown1882 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 6:22 pmIt’s always happened. The weirdest bit was him spitting on his hand after drying it before he threw.

Re: Towel
In the second half, couple of goals down I think we were, we got a throw deep in their half and ended up taking it backwards and eventually to Muric (starting again from the back). Summarised the two different styles completely.

Re: Towel
The long throw is such a tedious aspect of the modern game. Nearly every team we’ve played this season appears to have a “specialist”. I know we were trying to utilise Roberts’ thrown ins last season.
Not sure what the associated stats are, but in most games I see it’s pretty ineffective.
