    Milligans Throw In

    Did he just discover he can throw the ball about 30 yards from a shy? Why have we not been employing this tactic this season? Its as good as a corner and we only find out he can do that in the second last game of the season?!?!?! Mental!

    Its a great thing to have in the team! Hearts use it regularly to gain an advantage when they get a throw in high up the park. On tight pitches like Tiny his throws could be used to put pressure on teams!

    I have no doubt when watching hertz that they actually kick it up the park for fueld position
    similar to rugby.

    Hearts can GTF. They are obsessed with long throw ins.

    you can look at it that way if you want, but they use throw ins {or shys} to their maximum advantage. Think about the number of yards they always steal, think about the ball boys being instructed to hand a towel to their player before he throws, think about the ball boy leaving the ball which he should retrieve but wont, if it's for an opposing player, think about the gorgie fan that recently offered the ball to our player in the tynie derby then promptly threw it along the track. they are trained in that manner.

    Yeah, we've been behind. But we've hardly put anyone under serious attacking pressure in those instances..

    Is it any surprise we haven't been using the long throw in, when we lose the ball from short corners half of the time?!

    "Getting the ball in the box" seems to be lost on us more than other clubs.

    Can’t believe we haven’t employed that tactic this season. Really stupid that we haven’t.

    . I remember when he was signing for us I had seen a video of him using the long throw but never understood why he didn’t use it playing for hibs

    Can't get my head round why this has not been discovered before now! We have been crying out for a long throw taker for seasons now!

    I agree HC

    Couldn’t believe it and it bounced beyond the penalty spot. Surely has to be an option for us??

    It was brought up a few times back when he first signed. Must admit I forgot he had it in his locker. Considering how bad we are at throw ins we should be utilising it more often... Bit late now mind.

    On FM19 he has a very long throw but the game isn't always accurate.

    Considering how pathetic our throw ins are and have been for many years, this is a wee breath of fresh air.

    We've scored at least 2 goals from throws since Hecky came in. Total myth we're bad from throws.

    No myth at all, we are bad at throw ins and have been for years! There is never enough movement or any options for the thrower.

    What is your obsession with telling folk they do or don't go to games?. I'm a regular away from home and have missed 1 home game in 4 years. We're no better or worse than any other team from throws. Scored quite a few goals, even this season, from them

    You’re at it if you think it’s a myth. Just because we have scored a couple of goals from quick throws doesn’t change that

    Yeah, I don't agree with a blanket statement not backed up with any facts so I'm at it.
