Firstly can anyone explained what happened in the first half when it seemed the ball went out of play, everyone seemed to stop, the lino didn,t flag, a couple of players decided they should carry on then the flag went up. The second one was a first for me, when Eardley took the throw and it bounced out of play before it went in.
Last night, events at throw ins.

The first one, the linesman didn't have an utter clue what he was doing. The ref looked to be waiting for him to flag when the ball went out but I don't think he realised it had actually gone out. Better to just stick your flag up and hope you've chosen the right way rather than dither like an idiot. Sometimes I do wonder whether linesmen actually watch the game.

Yes, noticed this as well - great improvisation by Eardley! He and Harry do use the quick throw to good effect

Both linesman kept waiting for the ref to signal at which point they followed.
There were a few where the ref was waiting for them to signal as well which was laughable.
2 useless linesman.

All the linesman nowadays seem to just flag for goal kicks, cornerkicks, offside and throw ins. Blatant fouls in front of their noses seem to be left for the ref to decide. Oh yes and they make sure the goal nets are there with the required number of posts and bars to hold them up.

checking studs and jewellery, lot of things to remember, it ain't an easy job.
