yo i was trying to say that throw in is an important skill and footballer should work on it and not think its not important. Imagine if all you can throw like delap, everytime you take throw in your opponent will sweat dealing with it.

Stoke doesnt score much from Delap's throw in doesnt mean it is not a threat to the defense.

its a big advantage.

about how to improve throw ins, u need strong core balance, arm and back muscle. u need a good flexibility and lastly proper technique.

and make sure the ball is NOT wet. The last time i played a game while it was raining. My fingers slipped when taking throw in. The ball fell to the ground IN THE field. The opponents appealed to the ref but the ref said play on, but when i took it didnt went far becoz its slippery.

if anyone here knows the secret to long throw ins, plz do share.

Lol it gets pretty annoying though when u always see him take a cloth and gently wipe the ball before he throws it
