    Throw in/shy

    Minor point but one that annoys the tits off me.

    Everytime we get a shy it's like we are about to lob a grenade or bag of sick...everybody runs off.

    You know exactly when we aren't interested when we lose possession every single time at a shy. Either it goes back out for a shy or someone ****s it up the park and we lose possession.

    We really need more people that aren't feert.

    It's just a microcosm of the disjointed, disorganised shambles we are.
    Look at out tombola team selection
    Look at the changing formation weekly
    Look at the way we defend set pieces.
    We're a shambles from back to front.

    It's just another part of the game that gets completely ignored. At least the Seve long throw onto Diamonds head had a bit of thought put into it, despite it never working.

    The last time we were any good at throw ins was when Mark McGhee was there to receive the ball.

    What happened to the man standing down the line turns inside and takes the defender with him and guy that was inside gets it down the line to his feet.
    Worked when I played, and that was drummed into us from our coach (ex Dons).

    But nah, just a lob of the ball from Shay or Consi and most of the time the defender wins it.

    another minor point but can anyone advise just why the fk a throw-in was ever named a shy? I just don't get it, or is there something a numptee like me is missing?

    Shy is an old fashioned word for throw. Coconut shy being an example.

    I used to have a fitba manager as a kick who called goal kicks, "by-kicks". Boiled my piss that did
