 Long Ball Football

It`s interesting to see Sean Dyche`s comments, and some of the statistics, about using a long ball out of defence, and taking long throw-ins, both of which are becoming fashionable again.

Also the only player I’ve seen kick the ball over the main stand at Celtic park protecting our lead.

Mark Haro (I think) had a massive throw in him.

Mark Hamill had the longest throw of any player I can recall. EDIT might have been Mark Haro 😁

I remember seeing Motherwell play Llanelli in a European match (at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie), and being amazed by the length of the throw-ins by the Llanelli fullback, Andy Legg. Wiki says he once held the world record with a distance of 44.6 m (48.8 yards).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Legg

In Sean Dyche’s first game in charge last night Forest had their first clean sheet in 21 games.

That was a frustrating couple of seasons, Connor. I can’t recall any time where we scored from one of them.

Are we allowed to score from a throw in? 😂 sorry couldn’t help myself.
I suspect that if we had a long throw specialist now then things could well be different as we mix balls into the box regularly now and the opposition don’t know what is coming. Previously we may have been too predictable.
