Something we've been poor at for ages, especially from our full-backs. Wonder if we'd ever condider this, further down the line? The potential for accurate set plays could be immense. Thoughts?

I would love a Hibs throw-in coach, wouldn't you?

I actually think we have been much better at them this season with McGinn and Doig taking short quicker ones that actually find a team mate instead of lumping up in the air as a free for all

It's annoyed me for years but can't say I've noticed it this season.
Must mean they are doing it better.

Seems we do better at throw ins when we are ahead. When we are chasing a win or worse still behind, it is excruciatingly slow and has been for years. SDG and his beautiful Berwick being a very recent culprit, wee Lewis no better. Oh for that fellah in Scoopyboys avatar.

Interesting article, doubt we could afford him, but you'd hope someone at the club will be buying his book when it comes out.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Funny, my mate used to always bang on about how poor we were with throws and continually give the ball away. I'd tend to agree with him tbh.

I don’t think we need a specific throw in coach. Our present coaches need to work on player movement at throw ins. We seem to be very static at throw ins most of the time.

Commented on this watching the game. Our throw ins were much better. More credit to Jack Ross and his coaching team.

Previously we just seemed to throw down the line as far as we could!
We need to have more movement from front players to get into bit of space to turn and then start to attack the defences and maybe win some free kicks in the attacking areas
👍What a moment this is!
It's Liam Henderson to deliver......

Fascinating article that. Have to be honest, I never noticed Liverpool’s efficiency at corners, but it shows how the big clubs are addressing the fine margins in the game.

Funnily enough, I had been thinking about throw-ins and posting about it.
For me they seem increasingly anachronistic. At child level, the ball is placed on the touch line and you kick it into play, which encourages touch to feet and also likely reduces headers. I don’t see why that couldn’t happen at adult level. Throw-ins just seem like a over-complicated way of restarting the game. And that is before you get into the foul throws and stealing yards.
I am also lacking conviction with corners. We know the conversion rate to goals is minimal and the percentage approach means that most teams play it fast to the near post, which can be readily dealt with by the defence. Corners are almost a negative opportunity nowadays. I can’t think of a better option though. If we did kick-ins similar to throw-ins, taken from where the ball crossed the goal line, I don’t think it would help. Defences would just learn tactics and deal with it much in the way they deal with indirect free kicks in the box (which you hardly ever see nowadays). Regardless, corners just seem a bit anachronistic too.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

When I was doing some physio with a guy at Meadowbank he mentioned that he did some work for hearts during the Vlad years. According to him Robbie Nielsen had one of the most powerful throw ins such that he could have been a good javelin thrower - I forgot to ask about the hammer ;)

Remember that boy Dave Challinor from the English lower leagues? His throw ins in the last third of the pitch were as good as corners and were more like set pieces rather than just a way to re-start the game.

One thing that people hardly ever mention re throw-ins is that the team doing the throwing is at an immediate disadvantage, with a player essentially off the field taking the throw and the remaining players relatively easy to mark in such a confined space. Perhaps that makes it even more important to work on it in training to come up with strategies to overcome this. But I would suspect fans of lots of clubs express frustration around throw-ins or feel that they are uniquely incompetent in this area.

Oh for the days of an Erich Schaedler or a Gordon ‘Juke Box’ Durie that could hit the back post with a throw in
As good as a corner kick
They don’t seem to make footballers nowadays like they used to
