Whilst funny at the first viewing,
The thrower shows absolutely no concern for the player hit, OK so the player trying the block the throw and gets hit, but the him not even show any concern, absolute Wanker

There was an African(?) player who used to do this, and it was outlawed, or rather I think considered "Ungentlemanly conduct" so no longer allowed.
As for the bloke stood in front of the thrower, tough shit, what a f***ing stupid place to stand. If I was taking a throw in with a clown stood there like that I would be sure to raise my knee as I ran up, for extra leverage you understand.

Are you really that nasty that you would knowing & willingly and deliberately cause harm to another person ?
if so you need to address the issues now before it gets out of control.

Surely that would be a foul throw though, as both feet weren't flat on the ground when you released the ball?

There was a player, who the oldies will remember, I think that his name was Ollie Burton but cant remember which team ,who used to stand about 1ft inside of the line to stop a long throw. I know he used to jump up and down and I am fairly sure that they outlawed that but not sure about just standing there. Probably wouldnt distract thrower as his hands would be above the blocking players head. If it hasnt been stopped I am suprised that the likes of Ferguson Scolari etc havent stood somebody in front of Delap or Adams didnt against Morrison of Swindon.
Why shouldn't he stand there if it's going to negate the threat posed by the long throw? He's on the field of play where the thrower shouldn't be anyway.
I always thought you had to be 5 yards from the thrower?

Look at the video again. Both feet are flat on the ground at the time of release. Personally, I see nothing illegal about the throw in technique but it's too clever for the administrators so I thought it was banned. A bit like when Best stole the ball from Banks and scored. Not a foul but too quick for the referee.
No you don't have to be 10yrds from a throwin. I am assuming you watch football regularly?

There was a rule brought in 1-2 years ago saying the person had to stand back a certain distance. Think it might have only been 1 yard though. Also, your feet don't have to be flat on thr ground, just some part of both feet have to be on the ground.

No, not nasty, and not deliberately, if the guy wants to stand there, and gets hit in the head with the ball (which wasn't deliberate) or gets so close as to get a knee in the nuts, then perhaps he should have thought about the danger of the position he put HIMSELF in. Players are often considered "brave" when they go in for a hard tackle when they get hurt, it isn't the other players fault if he gets accidently booted, it's a risk he has taken by putting himself in that position.
Think both feet were on the ground, hence the decision by the authorities to call it ungentlemanly conduct therefore, would not be allowed. A bit like the same reason footballers don't lift colleagues up at corners or free kicks (like in rugby line-outs) as the refs can consider it ungentlemanly conduct and ruel out a goal scored from it.
You don't have to be on the field of play when the guy is standing that close, so quite right.
See comment above. We met and chatted with Paul Durkin (sp) before a match a couple of years ago at Withdean (he was refs assessor before a game when Dermot Gallagher was reffing, against Sunderland I think, he sent off Virgo after about 20 mins if I remember rightly) , I am pretty sure it was he who told us about the ungentlemanly conduct thing.

I remember seeing a player do the same throw-in on Football Focus years and years ago now - probably around 25 give or take.
