Throw-ins

[Schillachi]

This is one of my biggest pet peeves and I really still don't understand it. Can someone explain to me why our players insist on the long throw-ins even when we are in our half of the field which most of the time results in giving away possession. What is wrong with motioning for one of your team mates to come to you and throw to him instead of always engaging in long throws and rendering it a 50-50 ball?

...I like the long throw-ins right into the enemy's heart. It's like a corner kick and one mistake and you have a goal. In days past the burly Anthony (Powerhouse) Ottah (Golden Eagles/Bendel Insurance) used to scare opponents with it.

Chief, I'm talking about when we are in our own half. I understand making long throws to the 18 box of your opponent. What I don't understand is long throws in our half or far from the opponent's 18 box which most of the time results in loss in possession. Sometimes their teammate would even come to them, and they will motion him away only to do a long throw and give away the ball...

IT MIGHT BE A CAUTION THING

Sometimes it's safer to throw the ball far away towards the opponent's half and risk losing it than to throw it to a team mate in your own half where losing it could be disastrous. That team mate coming to you is doing the right thing by giving you an option but he'' probably agree that throwing to him is not the best option.

Chief, a lot of times, there is an unmarked team mate right by the thrower. Instead of throwing to him, they somehow prefer a long throw to no one in particular..

Una no serious,the important thing in throw ins whether long or short is to make sure it is going to your team mate. If they are not doing that then then they need to correct that. I have seen short throws go steaight to the opponents also.

Oloye,

You don forget how IICC great Otolorin terrorized opponents with his long throws probably the sole reason he made the super eagles!

Nwankwo Nwabueze, Stephen Keshi....the masters of long throws...Otolorin was the master in chief.

Damn..................Nwabueze Nwankwo does a throw-in from his own half into the opponents pen-box.
With him in team, every Rangers throw-in turns into a FK.

Iwobi's goal against Zambia, in Zambia came from a long throw in.

That's the point.. a lot of these silly long throw-ins goes to our opponents. You have a much better shot of not losing possession if you throw to an unmarked teammate in front of you as opposed to throwing into the crowd..
