The Stoke towel situation

It's actually been flagged up in the 'rules' before.

The league ruled it an unfair advantage when Dave Challinor was doing likewise for Tranmere over a decade back.

Maybe one of our more proactive members might want to register this again to the FA ;)
 
The first throw in they get Gareth Barry should run to the ref and start counting loudly until the ball gets thrown and then goes round the players shouting the number of seconds at the top of his voice. Next throw in we get whoever is taking it stands with the ball held under one arm as he and the rest of the players start counting in unison until they reach the magic number and the ball gets thrown.

We could even all join in doing the count. Ref would not be able to let it carry on without booking people/sending people off/abondoning the whole fucking farce.

It's all a joke. Why doesn't he just wear sticky gloves and why don't all players wear big hats like Chelsea's fragile 6'6" bloke in nets to aid heading the ball?
 
You'll never stop people takin' long throw-ins ...... i can remember a player at Chelsea doing it in the seventies (Ian Hutchinson) , and others were doing it further back still ...... it's just part and parcel of the game.

But when any player launches a long throw it's only as good as the player who actually runs at the ball , leaps , and gets to it first ........ and that's where we've got to be better than Stoke ....... we know , if Delap plays , it's coming , so we need to get our preperations right and cope with this kind of arial threat.
 
since when as a towel been part of football equipment.

it shouldnt be allowed end of story.

stoke don't place towels around the perimeter of away grounds, they shouldnt get away with it at home.
 
One option is to get the subs to go round and wet the towels
No point drying a ball with a wet towel

Keepers very often have towels.
 
Run on slap the ballboys (I know it's harsh) and piss on the towels or failing that name Peter Beardsley as sub and get him to warm up and speak to the ballboys meaning towels totally drenched!!!!
