[Albion] Mat Ryan's "Throw"

Giraffe · Jun 25, 2020

I think it deserves a thread of it's own.

First the comedy throw, then the scurried recovery, and then finally the look of shame that he knew he would be ripped for it for months to come by the unforgiving combination of Dunk and Duffy.

Hopefully someone will come along with a joyous GIF of the moment.

It was moment I was very glad there weren't 30k Foxes fans screaming

I'll let him off that one as he's probably won us quite a few points.

He was lucky that Vardy touched it otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to pick it up.

Although he had little to do in terms of saves I thought he looked a bit dodgy/hurried when receiving back passes. I guess that’s just the way we play.

I had a brief flashback to Gary Sprake throwing the ball into the goal ... definitely a heart in mouth moment

I didn't know that was a rule. So if a keeper has the ball, drops it to his feet and is then closed down by an opponent he can't pick it up again?

They wouldn’t have been. They’d have just all done their clackers extra fast.

Yep if he’s have touched the ball first they’d have had an indirect free kick!

No, and he hasn't been allowed to since at least 1991.

My brain screamed DANNY BAKERS OWN GOALS AND GAFFES as soon as he let go.

Fortunately, not.

I thought the bigger risk, was Ryan panicking and giving away a penalty, flying in to retrieve it.

There’s one or two players who would have fashioned a coming together as he went in, Zara is one of them!

It happens just 1 of them once a season moments fortunately it didn't cost us

dazzer6666 · Jun 25, 2020

It was the only save he had to make wasn't it ??

Agreed ..I’m surprised that Vardy didn’t go down..but then he seemed rather subdued all game

Ryan has more work to do on his throwing to match this (couldn't find the Gary Sprake one)
