During yesterday's Stoke-Hull game the guy with the long throw (is it Delap?) had a towel available on the side-line and used it to dry the ball before each throw-in. Towards the end of the game the Hull players were doing it too.
Why would the referee allow it? Next the players will be wanting a towel tucked into their shorts to dry the ball, or their boots, before free kicks.
For me it is too much like time wasting. When the ball's wet, it's wet. End of. the practice should be banned immediately.
