    Because if it had worked, it would have been awesome! Pity my man's brain didn't calculate his neck length quite right.

    It also goes really far. Its a legal throw as long as he releases with both feet back on the ground and the ball goes from behind his head, forward, then releases. We had a guy on our high school team who would do this sometimes and could throw it like half way down the field

    Because when it works, you absolutely YEET the ball.

    There have been players who use this technique for throw ins and get amazing distance. I think it might be banned now

    It is legal if done the correct way (aka with the ball still being thrown from behind the head and over the head with two hands), but the correct way really reduces the whip and distance the technique can generate if you don't enforce the behind and over the head requirements.

    It is and it isnt, if you release the ball, widout both feet planted on the ground yellow car, but if both your feet are planted on the ground, its a valid throw, however, it loses a lot of the momentum they use to get with that move.

    The law that requires both feet to touch the ground at the time the ball is thrown has been there since 1925.

    The current version of the law is quite straightforward https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/the-throw-in/#introduction

    Anything that's not forbidden is allowed. Players can do any kind of run-up they want as long as the throw-in requirements are satisfied when the ball is thrown.

    I expect so, why would a agent or manager of a €millions player who falls over whenever he gets touched on a playing field want them smashing their head through four inches( 7cm) of topsoil 😆

    That idiotic move should be banned permanently. That’s not what football rules say. That kind of attitude deserves to a circus not to an official game.

    Some things are more painful. Like in the video.
