The weight yes but the texture and grip on them is completely different 

I thought another difference between now and then was that the modern balls don’t absorb water. So ever tho they might start the same weight etc

I thought this was going to be a question on where can you get the lovely fluffy towels used to dry the ball! ? How is this allowable?

It isn't for us as we are under an embargo. We would have to loan them in

Can't believe we are so atrocious at keeping the ball from a throw-in. 

Two players at most making themselves available (rather half-heartedly) before being muscled off the ball. 

In the end we just threw it to them and hoped to pick up the clearance. 

Indicative of a lack of desire to get on the ball. We need to commit more players to throw-ins so we can use them to build attacks not surrender possession. 

or you do the throw in the West Brom way and have both feet on the pitch when you release the ball. Shocked that wasnt picked up by the ref

Happens all the while and never is.

We are building from the back but not much building at the front.

I said at the last home match that it was a waste of time throwing the ball to Sibley because we lose the ball every time.

Maybe the the ref should get his can of foam out for throw ins as well. ?

Great idea, the linesmen/women could carry a can as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there is one mention of wanting to see a lineswoman squirt on the touchline God will strike the forum down.

They talked about this on Steve Bloomers Washing podcast - about how both teams should have same access to towels or home advantage! Also think they mentioned how much time wba took for their throw ins but that we got told to hurry up. Not sure if this is instead the travelling point someone mentioned above rather than time wasting. Think towel thing looks totally pathetic anyway. They're just throwing a ball not delivering a baby
