NHC Is it a throw in or shy?

[linlithgowhibbie]

I was at a Sygenta amateurs match with my daughter and son in law, both 30ish years old. Ball went out of play and I commented that it was our shy. I got looks of bemusement and was asked "What's a shy?"
Am I wrong or is it just old fashioned to call it that?

[surreyhibbie]

A Shy

always called it that as a kid. don't hear it much nowadays!

[Mike Berry]

Well, we used to call it a shy when I was at school, but that was centuries ago.

I’m 31. Would never call it a shy myself but I’d have expected anyone with an interest in football to know what it meant!

[ShadesLongThrow]

I might be setting myself up for a whoosh moment here but…
I’ve always called it a shy but never really known why it is called that. Anyone?

I’m 30 and agree, wouldn’t call it that but know what it means.

[Billy Whizz]

It’s always been a shy to me

Same here. It was always a shy when I was a laddie. The same with a goal kick, that was always a bye kick.

No idea how those names originated.

Throw in. Unless you're 70 or over.

[Scouse Hibee]

Throw in or more commonly “our ball”

I guess us oldies when say shy maybe wondered too, as the word shy has a few meanings.

For this purpose it appears the meaning of shy = the act of a throw in

Another new bugbear is calling the Assistant Referee "Lino"
We used to call them Linesman in the first place !!


OK! Someone else can explain.

Bye Kick Goal Kick
Bye Line Goal Line
Oh and the theatrics of some when placing ball for a corner
Make sure its oan the whitewash,son !!

Over the pond in soccermom land,they call it a P K

Nil Nil is Zero Zero A draw is a tie
Bovril and a pie is soda and hotdog
If the yanks had got their way back when they first hosted the World Cup we would be playing 4 quarters and not two halves.
That was suggested to max advert breaks /revenue
Just look at the Superbowl,for example.

It's from coconut shy at traditional fairgrounds.

[Since452]

[Just_Jimmy]

It is
Come up and get your goldfish.

Shy/throw in to Hibs in line with the 18yrd box.
Schaedler wipes the wet ball on his jersey/strip/top/shirt and goes for a long one....ooo ,,and the ball slips out of play for a goal/bye kick.

Another one commentators use wrongly
Injury time/extra time/added time/time added on.and on and on !


A lot has changed over the years in football terminology
Referees not so much.

[A Hi-Bee]

Depends on age , but always a shy to me. dont take throw in, or throw outs, but shy's yes.

[Roxyhibee]

Shy. Bye line. Bye kick. Foul. Linesman. Pen Nibs. Cheating Hearts.

[Musselbound]

I'd never heard it called a shy until I moved to Edinburgh in the late 80s. Might be a regional thing?

Nope

[cameronw-hfc]

I'm only 23 so it's a throw in or goal kick, but ill occasionally say bye kick as i coach keepers and would really expect anyone interested in football to know what they both meant

I was a kid when I heard both for the first time

[RyeSloan]

Bye line of bye kick are still pretty common…indeed the bye line was mentioned in commentary on the euro final tonight.

A shy is maybe a bit more old skool

Your name suggests otherwise

I'd say "Our throw" but I know Shy. Don't hear it much these days.

[wookie70]

Shy just means throw and it was always a shy when I was growing up. I say throw now though. Lino came from Soccer AM I think or at least that is where I first heard it. I say it and try to not but heard it so often it has become part of my language. Still a bye kick to me

[Inverhibs]

Its called a shy in shinty .no idea why tho!

Aye. But you didn't pick the term up watching Ford Super Sunday in the 90s. Or on your fifa console games.

It was from going to games with an old timer. Correct?

Not really, I went to games with a group of mates from early age and it was always shy and bye kick in the school playground.

It'll have come from somewhere in my circle obviously, but that's almost try of every expression a person uses.
