Negative. As a ref myself, act of unsportsman like conduct, or dangerous play trump any previous act of a lessor intent. Red Card. Off with his head.

I've seen teenage girls use that throw in during competition. While they do get good distance i hate the technique (when executed properly which this isn't) - it is just one more thing for americans too laugh at while dismissing soccer as a sport.

If he threw it in and did not hit the other offender it would be completely legal.

He scuffed his throwin - in that throw the ball shouldn't be released until player is fully extended. The ball is meant to go high and far with that method. The other player shouldn't have been anywhere near there. The ref didn't do his job in moving the player so it would be difficult to have anything to say about the result. No card. Anything more than a yellow would be criminal even if the ref felt like giving something.

No foul, No card. But the ref really isn't doing his job there. 1) Should have ordered kid to move back required distance from touchline. 2) Should have required blue shirt to leave field once blood was in evidence. It may not seem fair but that's the way it works.

BTW, you know that kid was hurting. That looks like a cold miserable day. If the ref wasn't going to do anything the coach should have sent a trainer on while the player was down to at least delay the game enough for either a substitution or blue shirt to at least get his bearings.

Thanks for the context, glatt. It's good to see what was intended after the re-do.

lookout123 · 11-26-2008, 04:48 PM

I marvel at the talent some of you show. you see a 3 second clip of a video on the internet, read the ridiculous discussion about it, and then are fully capable and motivated enough to track down the full video clip to show us.

I wouldn't even know how to look for that.

ZenGum · 11-26-2008, 04:57 PM

I notice on the second throw, Blue guy stood a bit further back. Ah, natural justice, gotta love it.

That's why you'll always be a millionaire and not a billionaire.

I actually just wanted to see more examples of that type of throw, so I typed "cartwheel throw in" into youtube and saw that it's commonly called a "flip throw" so I searched that term and this was a top video.

And I wanted to show my kids a nonviolent example of this throw too.

Tough kid . My kind of people

lookout123 · 11-26-2008, 08:00 PM

more examples
hehehe

actually, looking at that led me to the second video which is simply an amazing bit of skill.
