It’s not just throw ins either is it.I remember a match last season when we gave away a free kick about two yards from the corner flag.There was a bit of a delay while their player had treatment and when the keeper took the free kick it was about twenty yards further up the pitch.
It annoys the life out of me as well. In our lat game our player went down a yard or so into the penalty area and the goalie took the free kick from a yard or more outside the area. The linesman just stood in line where he placed the ball. Why don’t Lino’s stand in line with an infringement so that the ball has to be in line with them. This would be easy for both ref and Lino who are miked up as well.
And then we get the situation where a keeper gets a yellow card for wasting time but you can take as long as you want for a throw in.
