It has always been the same. No different to gaining a few yards on a throw in or how you used to move forward when the ref turned around
Pinching a few yards for a throw in doesn't really gain that much of an advantage does it? The "Big Dog" has moved the ball to give himself more or less a clear shot at goal & was skilled enough to execute. Yeah, ref, assistant & the Forest wall should have picked up on it. Clever play or gamesmanship? Would like to see the spray deployed for throw ins as well. Maybe football should be a lot more exact when insisting that restarts from the line are taken from the correct position. Other field sports do it after all. Less for fans to moan about though & we can't be having that.  |

I agree with TBL, as a player you will try to gain an advantage when possible, it's up to the officials and opposing team to address it if it's overstepped the mark. Clever by Toney IMO, he saw an advantage to be gained and went for it, if nobody picked up on it then so be it. However Toney wouldn't have been able to complain should the goal had been ruled out by VAR, but to call it cheating is over the top. A keeper going down to get a delay in game is a similar thing, which Mahoney and Flynn utilised regularly.

Yeah but that's because Town have less hope than all the ''Hopes'' in the world. And Town are a bit wank |

Not often throw ins turn into goals. I don't really think that's the same thing personally |

I was surprised none of the Forest players tried to point it out to the referee. Also wouldn't it have been right in front of the linesman?
Isn't that what VAR is supposed to be for? |

Or VAR. The point is, there should be more than enough people watching that game to have noticed what Toney was doing and have put a stop to it, either before, or after the event. |

VAR can't intervene on restarts apparently.
Toney's explanation that he thought that the ball could be moved was laughable to the point of taking the piss.

It'll be a never ending arguement. If we are to start being that pedantic over 1 or 2 feet we may as well use VAR to make sure the ref has marked the correct area too. I know it's not often but the game is full of scenarios like it and we need to stop wanting everything disallowed |

Imagine that’ll cost Vile a few quid.

That last paragraph in bold reminded me of a mass encroachment there in the not too distant past. |

Reminds me of a time about 15 years ago in Swindon Sunday League and we had a cup game against Swindon West Indies - who as the name suggests were team from Swindon with West Indian heritage… Went to text message went round asking for availability the text read that we were playing West Swindon Indians - which would make them a team of Indians specifically from West Swindon. |
