Spot throw-in violation in playoff game.
 

Kudos to the guy who made that call.

Garner was undefeated this year, and this game went into Triple OT. The call essentially sealed the game for New Hanover.

I believe that's a big error by the official. Did both feet move away from the throw-in spot? I don't think so.

Am I wrong or the official made a traveling signal? :eek:

Ciao

Absolutely he moved both feet away from the spot. It certainly didn't look like a travel signal to me. Instead, it looked like he moved his hands from the right side of his body to the left side of his body to indicate the player left the spot.

1) I know that's the correct call by the official. The thrower has to keep one foot on or over a 3 foot wide spot until the ball is released on the throw-in. In that play, the thrower didn't. Obvious violation imo.

2) You're wrong. The official gave the correct signal under NFHS rules---> signal #26.

0 for 2.

Great call. Good signal. I had this happen in a college semi final confrence game Friday night. First time ever in a college game for this violation.

You're wrong and you're wrong. So's the announcer. Clearly that inbounds was not immediately subsequent to a made basket - the timeout had nothing to do with it.

He clearly left the spot of the throw-in (he started on the left side of the N and ended up right on the left side of the S) and the official's mechanics couldn't have been better.

And number 21 showed a lot of class :rolleyes: at the time of the call and after the game, too.

No brainer. By not calling it, you are penalizing the defense and the other team.

Cripes
 

What video did you watch?

~Sigh~

T

To be fair, no footballer in Europe is ever called for a violation for throwing the ball in 20 yards from the spot.

Wait a minute
 

My interp of the video was that the inbound play was following a made basket. If not, why was the announcer making a point about the timeout taking away the right to run the endline which, of course, is wrong. If that was the case, then the official blew the call and screwed over that team!

They had a FC throw-in. Spot.

He was just a little into the game....... :rolleyes:

Inquiring Minds Want To Know ...
 

I know very little about soccer rules, and have always questioned this. How far away from the place where the ball went out of bounds are they legally allowed to move?

Mark, re-watch he video with the sound down. You'll figure it out a lot better without the announcer.

I don't officiate soccer. I know that we had to be within about 6 ft of the spot when I played, but that was long ago and it was not FIFA rules. Corner kicks taken broke ties rather than PKs back then.

Designated Spot Throw In Violation ...
 

Right foot started to the far right of the "N" and the same foot ended up halfway to the "S". Certainly more than three feet, not by much, but definitely more than three feet.

The inbounder cracked under pressure. Plain and simple.

You are correct. You can see they are inbounding near their own bench so they must be in their frontcourt. They must have been granted the timeout not immediately after the basket, but after they inbounded and moved the ball into their frontcourt. Of course, not only did the announcer quote a rule incorrectly, but the rule he was quoting was irrelevant anyway. So what's new?

Gotta Do It
 

Accurate call that had to be made, both in spite of and regardless the circumstances. No brainer.
Two weeks ago in an intense girls' v matchup a girl for the visitors' team, to avoid a defender, chose to run out of bounds to try to break free for the AP throwin to begin the third quarter. I banged it. They lost the throwin and also the arrow. Ended up losing by one. A good friend and veteran official who also happened to have been a twenty-plus year retired head coach for that same team asked me about it this week, commenting, "Well, I guess if that was your interpretation..." Interpretation?????? It happened, and, by rule, the proper call was made accordingly.
The official in the situation above noted a vioilation that happened, and made the proper call accordingly. Good job, in spite of and regardless the unfortunate outcome for the violating team.
It wasn't his fault it happened to have such a major impact at the end of the game. I bet he'd have called it the same had it occurred in the first quarter of the game.

FIFA Laws of the game: 1 meter, any direction, from the point the ball exits the field of play.

The Violation of the TI provisions are usually considered "trifling" unless play is in the attacking third of the field and the thrower in capable of delivering the ball into a dangerous attacking position.

In soccer, at least in Wisconsin me personally if a player happens to creep further up or runs more than 5 yards I will blow my whistle to back him up or re-throw.

If you draw attention to it you should then enforce the penalty the laws or rules call for. Attempting a TI from an illegal position is to be punished with loss of the throw-in.

When did this become the soccer board? :D Law 15 requires the throw be taken from the point where it left the field. There is actually no allowance in the law for any variance let alone a full meter (and if there was an allowance it would be a yard not a meter as the measurements are all imperial with metric conversions). 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.

Unless you are Rory Delap.
