I'm sure we all fondly remember the many times we watched Ryan Shotton toweling down a ball to throw in.

Finally long long over due this ridiculous how they have got away with it.

And no I never looked back fondly on any thing pullis did.
 
I thought we were already using multiball, tbh.

I'm guessing I misunderstood what it actually was.
 
Did we ever actually score a goal from a Shotton throw?

He wasn't exactly Rory Delap or Dave Challinor mind.

Only Boro could be managed by Pulis and have the likes of Ayala and Flint in the team and still offer 0 threat from set pieces.

Ayala scored a fair few, and Geroge friend the odd one from set pieces. We just didn't score from throws

I dont think directly but I seem to remember Adama scored against Barnsley (?) after a throw was cleared (not very well).
 
Finally, we are getting the game we love back.

Now to crack down on slow run ups on penalties and I might consider returning for a game.

Glad the EFL are tackling the big issues in football :)
 
Expect teams with long ball specialists to have towel lined under-shirts.

This should be a non-issue though. This should be cleared up completely by just introducing a stop-clock when the ball is out of play. Time-wasting is a plague that needs wiping out. It is fans that are being cheated because we're watching less and less football as teams think up different ways to con the system. Teams that are happy to play for a point are time wasting from the 1st minute.

The referees have so many tools available (pro-active and retro-active) to put a stop to so many forms of cheating (diving, play acting, time wasting, off the ball incidents, shirt pulling/holding etc). I am sick of seeing so many games decided by cheating.

If that's the best they can come up fair enough but they might consider taking action against time wasting cheats.
