[Albion] Mat Ryan's "Throw"

[rippleman]

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

Thank you. It's been driving me nuts trying to remember who it was who did that.

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

I thought this at the time, but he would have been able to kick it, so if Vardy had left it Ryan could simply have just booted it into the stands. Which arguably may have been slightly more satisfying. In a "haaaaaaaaaave it" type way.

Think he wants to casually throw it to his CB, sees Vardy and thinks "no, maybe to the left back at the corner" before realising Burn is actually in Dunks position, and gets a bit mind****ed for a second.

I like the fact that the first respondent to that tweet is Maty Ryan himself! There's a good spirit there.

Looked like the sort of calamity you could have with the keeper in the 70's classic football game Striker. And one of them had a yellow jersey!
