The Gaffovski Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 First time I have seen this in the game actually. Situation - Champion's League Final 2011, Arsenal v Barcelona. It is injury time after 90 minutes. Incident - Yaya Toure gets crocked. Walcott has a great opportunity to counter but sportingly puts the ball out of play. Toure is substituted, and Abidal takes throw-in, launching a Barcelona attack down that flank! You're supposed to throw it back to us you *&^$£(*%&^!! I wish I could say or do something about that, if it happens now and then. Like to accuse the other team of unfair play and start a media war lol. They didn't score from that, I'd have been more furious if they had. But they went on to beat us in a penalty shoot-out. Has anyone noticed other incidents similar to this one?

Supposed to throw it back to you? Show me where it says that in the official laws of the game. I do like the idea about being able to call them on it in the media though.

Neji Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It may not be a law but it's very rare that the other team don't throw it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I like to play devils advocate and also take issue with statements such as 'they have to throw it back' because they don't. Win at all costs! No one remembers the sporting losers.

gingerbill Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 that sounds very unsporting . I guess the match engine cant take that into account . I would certainly be shouting at my monitor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you just like to be awkward I don't think he meant 'supposed to' as in 'have to'. Anyway, I'm all for more media options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm all for more media options Yes, yes I do As for media, me too, there are loads of times I'd loved to have blown up about something thats happened and gets completely ignored in the press conference.

gazzamark Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I remember Arsenal scored doing that a few years ago in a cup game against Sheffield United. Steve Bruce took his side off the field and Wenger asked the FA to give them a replay which they did. Quite ironic it was Arsenal Barcelona did it against.
