I'll tell you what I don't like, right, about the long throw.
And people are going to say, oh, you know, he doesn't like set pieces.
It's very, very effective.
But the way the game is getting officiated now with the VAR especially, right, because I don't... And I'll get onto that in a sec.
But I don't think...
The founding fathers of our game created it so that you can score goals or take advantage by using your hands.
In fact, they took it away.
I think there's a reason they said, you know what, to take a throw in, you actually got to have both feet, you got to put it over your head, rather than just throwing it in, because they wanted to limit the effectiveness of the hand.
It's football, mate.
And what we've done now, what we've created with the long throws, but more the officiating.
Now, people say goalkeepers were a protected species.
Yes, they were, for a reason, in that...
Once you create congestion in that six-yard box, you can't allow goalkeepers to do their job.
You can't.
They can't do it.
And it does my head in when I hear referees and the head of referees saying, oh, but players are just standing their ground.
That's a foul.
If I was on Monday Night Football with you, because I know you love doing it, I'd show you a live...
If you're a centre-half... Do it now with him.
