Basketball rule question

[martinez]

the ref was obviously wrong

There was no danger when Villa's Olaf Mellberg sent a throw-in back to his goalkeeper Peter Enckelman 13 minutes from time. But the Finnish international somehow allowed the ball to trickle under his boot and into the net.

His Villa team mates claimed he had missed it completely and, as the laws of the game state a goal cannot be scored direct from a throw in, urged the referee to award a corner.

However, the official, standing on the halfway line, decided there had been some contact with the goalkeeper's boot and duly awarded the goal.

There is a guy I think that plays for Stoke City in the EPL, I think his name is Delap, his throw-ins are like corner kicks lol..

Yep Rory Delap is feared because of his throw-ins lol. They are legendary, like bullets into the box! As effective as a corner or any cross, no joke, and has resulted in many goals too.

We had Gary Neville when he was younger try to do long throws as well, but his were more like soft looping throws that went really far. Delap's just whip straight in really fast.

You follow the Premier League?

Everyone always shits themselves when they see Delap step up for a throw in as though they don't know how to defend it... people should just defend it like they do a cross!
