Seen lots of people comment post match that there was a foul throw involved in the build up to Rotherham's goal but I'm not seeing it. Can anyone explain which of the below conditions were not satisfied?
From the FA's website:
At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must:
- stand facing the field of play
- have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline
- throw the ball with both hands from behind and over the head from the point where it left the field of play

The throw was legal
The ball didnt go out.
Meanwhile on whether the ball went out of play, as the cross came from a throw-in not a corner the linesman had to be positioned in line with the second last defender not the goalline so wouldn't reasonably have been able to be sure either way.
Washington's little nudge could have been deemed a foul but it could also be deemed not enough to be a foul. The big decision was the non sending off. It is a classic example of poor refereeing. Last night's ref booked players for far less and clearly bottled it. I think if he avoids a wrist slap for that, it will be amazing.
we have some of the most the worlds against us cry baby fans where refs are concerned known to man .
May be we should be asking, should we have defended better rather than looking to the officials to help us out.
