    He was sort of taking a little run up and jump towards the thrower, wasn't he? I'd suggest that he did start around 2m out and after he jumped was pretty much on the touchline.

    I think Alexis did have a point, to be fair.

    Also - I think the cut lip may well have happened when the ball hit him in the face, hit him with some force. That or when he had a little tussle with Huth towards the end.

    no you can't

    An opponent who unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower (including moving closer than 2 m (2 yds) to the place where the throw-in is to be taken) is cautioned for unsporting behaviour and if the throw-in has been taken an indirect free kick is awarded

    So in other words you have to be 2 metres away

    Is it yards or metres, though? There's 20cm difference between them, which could have made all the difference.

    I think we may have stumbled upon grounds for an appeal here. Wd awimb.

    Yup. We should argue that Sanchez has always been a massive fan of Imperial measurements and refuses to acknowledge the metric system.

    Personally I find the fact that Mrs Insider confuses centimetres with inches both endearing and reassuring!

    Mate, inches or centimetres, single figures are single figures.
