Still a bit bitter

Not about England (don't get me started), but about a decision against one of my throws at the Tochigi tournament. I know, I know, it was months ago, but I've been looking up footy stuff on the web (for my new role as Footy Coach for Tsunan Chuto) and I came across the Rules of the Game, in particular Law 15: The Throw-in.

So, when I took The Throw in Tochigi, the ref called a foul throw because I twisted my body when I threw the ball. But Law 15 doesn't say that twisting the body is an offence, therefore, my throw was fine, the ref was wrong, neer-neer.

And another thing, Law 15 also states that "A throw-in is awarded ... when the whole of the ball passes over the touch line, either on the ground or in the air;". So all those whiners in Nagano who complained when I was linesman can shut up!

And no, I'm not pissed off with England's Exit. Honest!

The silver lining in all this is thst now you have the time to put all your support behind Italy... A luxury you never had while England was still competing...
See... Theres always a positive

I think that was more to do with Italy playing the majority of their games at 4am!

Still, I'm making the effort for the semi so, Come On Totti!!
