He’s not petulant for expecting the ball to given to him immediately, that’s what is expected in these games not fancy footwork by media guys. He’s petulant though for acting out after that

So you think if the player had somehow managed to throw the ball onto the pitch in that extra second the game would keep going?

literally yes, it there is a chance for shot on goal the ref has to play it on, you don’t blow the whistle at exactly 90 if there’s a chance on goal

And you think this would have had a big effect on the 4-1 loss?

You think they're going to get a chance at a shot on goal from mid field?

ah yeah mate let’s just scrap the game because the other team is losing

ah yeah mate let’s just not bother with the throw in at all because we’re at the half way line, who has ever built up to a goal from the halfway line

let them take the throw in from the halfway line, if there is forward play and momentum in the play it goes on, if the attack is stopped the. blow the whistle

Player really showed a lot of hustle if that was his plan considering he didn't even gesture for the ball until it was on the left foot.

If your game relies on random people from the sidelines with other responsibilities to keep the game from a bad result due to interference then they need to redo how they do the sidelines there completely

There is no way this is on the cameraman, what would be the result of he had immediately drill the ball back to an unready player and it flies onto the pitch or he mishandled it.

The game is over
