Throw ins, officials, the laws and towels......

But the linesman needs to be in line with the last defender when the throw is taken as a flick on from the attacker could lead to an offside. He can’t simply stand near where the throw should be taken from.
The referee and his 'assistants' yesterday were atrocious.
Their equaliser summed it up. It was right in front of where we sit. Everyone around us was saying along the lines of 'where is he going with that' yet they both failed to pull him up on it. Its just basics.

The still that Quest pulled up last night shows Livermore trying to take a quick throw in before giving the ball to Furlong 15 yards down the line - think me and others have mistook this for where the throw-in should have been taken.
However it should have been taken where Furlong received the ball so he was in the right position - however that was outside the box around 20 yards from goal and he's thrown it in from around the 10 yard mark so he's gained at least 10 yards. See the stills below.
Because of previous incidents I was watching very closely, there is a water bottle on the ground on the first pic and the ball went out of play more than half way between there and where the player is looking to take the quick throw in.
The second pic shows where the other player actually takes it which is a considerable distance away from where the ball exited play. The player has taken advantage of totally hopeless officials who just turned a blind eye to this blatant cheating.
There is no way he could have got the ball into the danger areas in the box from the original position. If they had moved a free kick that far forwards it wouldn’t have been allowed, neither should it with throw ins.
What really puzzles me is how on the first pic the ref isn’t even looking, he’s moving away from the throw which suggests he’s expecting it before they pinch the yards, that’s a bit worrying.......
It’s clear on the highlights too. Should have defended it better though anyway but given that the ref had been so picky about the place where throws were taken from throughout the first half it’s very frustrating that he ignored the most blatant and dangerous one.

What should have been a throw in near the half way line ended up more like a bloody corner to West Brom. The fans were pointing this out to the liner and the ref but neither bloody noticed from ten yards what 11000 fans noticed from about 50 yards. Shocking.
Here's an example from West Brom at Posh three weeks ago... (Peterborough had confiscated towels mid game)
Furlong goes to the away fans, gets a jumper, comes back, drys the ball, takes the jumper back and returns again, then slowly gets set for a long throw.
Ref ended up warning Furlong (no yellow) after a full 40 seconds delay. The throw in was finally taken a full minute after the ball went out of play.
This kind of stuff has to be stopped by EFL.

I was amazed when one of our players (Wickham I think ?) was dragged down on the edge of the box, the linesman was flagging for what seemed like an eternity yet the referee simply wasn't even looking at him. It took all of the players to appeal for him to actually look at his colleague's decision.
The referee was off the pace from the first whistle and was being an arse for the kick off for the second half as well, taking an age to blow when players from both teams just wanted to get going, then pulling it back because they'd already started running.
He was just one of those officials who thinks the supporters have come to watch him.

Summed up brilliantly. Did any of the Brit refs watch the Euros FFS? You didn't notice any of the refs because they were so great, so commanding and so correct most of the time.
The turning your head away and missing stuff is a sign that a ref is nervous. They are trying to let stuff go unnoticed in an effort not to have to have that confrontation. Like the shit supply teacher who pretends he hasn't heard stuff in class, it's a coping mechanism for his realised inadequacy. Shite

I bet you frankie and Riddler have given a ball boy the job of towel collection all game next game if anyone tried it again. Ridiculous. Also, time wasting.
Christ, I am becoming Frank Lampard. 🤣

In the last two visits to Deepdale, West Brom have stolen 3 points from us by cheating. 1-0 becomes 1-1 and 0-0 becomes 0-1. They've also "stolen" a lot of our class players.
I've just decided I hate the Brummie West Brom bastards!

Interesting you see it that way. I seen nothing in it to be honest.

It’s high time hairdryers (connected to the mains of course) were placed at 10yd intervals around the pitch perimeter by all EFL and Premier League Clubs. This would prevent any repetition of “Towelgate” seen yesterday at Deepdale, and ensure all footballs are well and truly dry before those troubled professional footballers have to take a throw in. 🤪

Maybe he’s one of those people with perpetually sweaty hands. Manus clammius.
Could be the last season of this anyway. Fifa considering a law change, advised by a panel including Wenger, whereby you can't send the ball into the penalty area direct from a throw.
