Austin is injured.

How many times do people need told?

[knee jerk reaction]

Austin looks good in the development games as a fair few of our young players do. from what i've seen of Austin he'll be a great signing for us and if he wasn't injured i'd have him in the 1st team or at least on the bench.

Whit wrong wi Austin - he fell out wi Houstie?

[Newbornbairn]

Oh ffs

[Bigbri Bairn2]

I saw him in the development team and reports appear to show him in a good light . Has his injury come back or is it just an injury that first team football would aggravate?

[Marshmallo]

Anyone know if we've changed suppliers for our steak pies this season? I've had a couple this year and the quality seems to have dropped off.

[ANEWHOPE]

Part of me not that keen on how reliant we are on a long throw for our creative threat but also don't get why we only use it when we are desperate, why not utilise it from minute one?

[Andy Dufresne]

Took this at yesterday's game

They are a real threat from about 10 yards into our half and should be utilised as much as we can.

Andy Gray had one hell of a long throw

Long throw was that? ;-)

Long throws are the boy.

We utilised it multiple times yesterday at 0-0 but the problem was we rarely won the 1st header/flick on.

Good tool to have though as both Muirhead & Hippolyte can give it a good launch.

Big James Sharp (Ochilview season, and the one after that) had a mighty long throw too.

Shame he was a diabolical defender.

[Marshmallo]

Has Hippolyte ever taken one where he hasn't been two yards onto the pitch when he releases the ball? I'm amazed he hasn't been called for it yet.

[gav-ffc]

One of his throws in the second half he sort of stopped because his foot was clearly over the line but given the level of officiating in the championship he will be fine.

Will Vaulks long throw for the Mchugh winner v hibs was clearly. over the line also.

I used to shout for it every time he took one for Livi. Nearly every throw he takes is a foul throw. I think he was once pulled up for it.

Edit - Its not so much that he is on the pitch when he throws it, its that his back foot is off the ground at point of release every single time.

Watching Scottish and English football every weekend I've noticed that foul throws are just widely ignored now.

Quite amazing watching players worth £50M + and they can't even take a throw in properly.

At least up here we don't have to worry about referees picking up on it. They find it a challenge to allow advantage for fuxake.

[Shadwell Dog]

You only have to have part of your feet on the touchline when you throw it but both feet must be touching the ground.  Some of the throw ins you see these days are ridiculous especially when watching football from abroad. Sometimes you wonder if the guy could throw it through his legs and still get away with it.
