Also the thrower has not violated the law until he has come to the "moment of delivering the ball." Until then, the referee can, and should, correct the thrower's position if the referee is unhappy with the position.
Regardless, soccer has a large allowance for trifling violations provided the offender is not gaining an advantage. Generally, no advantage is gained for an improper spot on a throw-in unless in the attacking third. |
