Anyway, great question.
Tyler.
I think there's a better way to... I don't hate it either.
I don't hate it.
It seems inconsequential, as you said, LD.
My biggest gripe with referees is there are certain things in the game where I'm just like, just sort it out now and it doesn't happen again.
I'll give you an example, right?
If the guy picks up the ball and he takes like...
Five yards.
Referee, blow your whistle and go, mate, back up.
When he throws it in again, say, not your throw, other team's throw.
If you do that once or twice, people are going to be like, all right, I'm not going to take the piss.
I'm just going to throw the ball in.
That's it.
But yeah, inconsequential.
I told you about my kick-in story.
Yeah.
I played USISO, United States Independent Soccer League, in 1997, senior in high school.
They implemented a rule.
Inside 35 yards, if you had to throw in, you could kick it in.
